I played behind the main striker at Dortmund, but I usually play on the left with Japan.
I can play on the right, from the left, behind the main striker, or upfront - it depends on where the coach wants me to play.
You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.
I'm confident in my own ability, and if I'm called upon to play on the right, the left, or as the main striker, then I can play there.
In this system, I've always played in the position behind the striker. I also don't enjoy being classed as a striker - I don't see myself as one.
I've played as a striker all my life. To play on the right or the left is always difficult.
I think it's important for me to play in different position so if the boss wants me to play on the left or behind the striker I can play where the boss tells me to play.
When boys and girls go out to play there is always someone left behind, and the boy who is left behind is no use to the girl who is left behind.
Before I arrived here [ Borussia Dortmund], a lot of people were questioning about whether I could ever play as a striker, that I was a guy who could only run down the wing quickly.
Everybody says Steve McManaman played on the left for me in Euro 96 but he never played on the left. The one time he did play on the left was against Switzerland.
I just want to be playing! I love to play. But I think I can play in the three positions behind the striker.
I used to play as a striker in Holland. I grew up as a striker. That's the position I want to play.
I used to play for Dortmund, I have friends there and the fans know me so I want to experience that dread of going to that stadium as the away team and I'd like to see how Dortmund would react.
Any striker like me that likes to run in behind, they could play with Thierry.
You can compare Mesut Ozil to Dennis Bergkamp, because they play just behind the striker.
At Rennes, I played more down the left wing, but also down the right and sometimes in midfield. At Dortmund, it was the same: I alternated wings. I don't have problems with the position I'll take up.
When I was a young guy, when I first started with G.E., Jack Welch sent us all to Japan because in those days Japan was gonna crush us. And we learned a lot about Japan when we were there. But over the subsequent 30 years, the Japanese companies all fell behind. And the reason why they fell behind is because they didn't globalize.
