The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.
I like it when I am in the middle; I am closer to the ball. The manager wants me to pass, to make assists, create chances, and I do more because I think the position is more central, and I don't ask all the time for the ball at my feet.
When you don't give the forwards the service, then it's difficult for them to score. Not everyone's a Gareth Bale.
I started my career as a No 9. I know how to play as a No 9.
In the centre, you play more with your back to the opponent's goal and have to move into the gaps.
I've always liked the No.10 position. You can get on the ball a lot more and attempt to dictate the play a lot more.
I look for players who do not just score goals but provide an attacking point, linking with other players and able to see the third man as well. Van Persie is one of the best strikers around at that.
Firmino is a player who is really good at adapting to different positions. He is a No. 9, but he helps a lot in build-up play.
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've always liked technical, creative central midfielders with the capacity to score goals, such as David Silva, Samir Nasri, and Santi Cazorla.
I consider myself as this kind of attacking midfielder, trying to find the gaps between the opposition midfielders and defenders and produce what the team needs between the lines.
Firmino is the most decisive player because he comes to play between the lines and opens the spaces to his team-mates.
As a No. 9, I have to be there to score goals, but that isn't the only thing. I also participate in the build-up and help my team-mates, but, above all, it's about scoring goals.
As a holding midfield player, you want movement and to play between the lines.
It's not easy to create chances or a game when you're just receiving long balls.
The No.10 position is my favourite role.
That is my style of play, my strength: hold up, playing with my back to goal.
I've always been looking to get goals and assists, and to do that, I need to be higher up the pitch.
I am more of a support striker.
Playing further up the pitch, you have more opportunities to score and provide assists, and it's something I liked right from the start.
Drogba is more of a hold-up player, a target man. I prefer to have ball to feet and run in behind.
