The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.
I don't need to speak with my colleagues in the national side to know what kind of player Messi is. He's one of the best players in the history of football and very difficult to stop.
I'm never going to be seen as an attacking midfielder who's going to dribble past anyone, create untold chances, and score lots of goals, but going forward is something I've always enjoyed doing.
Dudes are coming at me every day; I'm playing different positions on the defensive end. I'm really working on that, because that's the next level. In the league, everybody can dribble.
Lionel Messi reminds me of George Best, the way he would run with the ball tight to his foot.
Messi is 'The Matrix' - that image when everything slows down, and he can do what he wants.
When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.
If Lukaku is not as good as others with his first touch, then give him a ball that he can handle.
When Messi has the ball centrally, with time, he has so many options to hurt you.
Mbappe, he always wants to score. He also dribbles well.
When he's on fire, he is impossible to stop. He dribbles like a winger, but is still able to score 20 goals a year in the Premiership. (on Thierry Henry)
Whenever I'm asked about Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, I always answer: 'Neymar is the best,' not just because of his goals but because of the ease with which he plays.
Neymar will never fail to have technique and creativity.
I was born to be a point guard, but not a very good one.
I will aim to become a No. 10 who can score goals. Just like Lionel Messi does for Barcelona.
Felipe Anderson's got a good engine, pace, skill, passing ability and a decent shot on him.
I've grown up playing in central midfield more, and I think my natural game is about coming inside from wide.
The No 10 position is my favourite role, and I'm a player who likes to play in between the lines and try and break that midfield line.
I feel like I'm quick enough, and on my day, I can be dangerous in the box.
Once Tony Daley opens his legs you've got a problem.
My idol was always Romario. He was playing in Holland at the time and I loved him. His skills, technique, I loved him he was my hero. I liked his whole game. One moment it would be like he was sleeping and then another moment he would change the game.
I am a player who likes to play in between the lines and try to break that midfield line, whether it's when I receive a pass or can go and show everyone what I am about.
In all ways, I want to be better in all of these things that top midfielders can do.
Pedro has special qualities. He adds a lot, dribbling, scoring, keeping the pitch wide. He's always ready to compete.
Messi is so quick; he's so good. For me, he's the best player in the world.
