The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.
Ronaldo is brilliant, Messi more my kind of player. He sees the game so clearly. He can score, create; he's the complete player - the best ever, probably.
I have long played No. 10.
I know the importance of the number 10. In Brazil, the one who wears 10 constructs the attacks.
We call Michael Beasley a walking bucket. All he needs is some dishwater and a mop.
I'm a four-down guy. I can rush the passer and stop the run. I know I can be a difference-maker.
When I go into games as a forward, my job is really clear, and I just have to execute. But as a midfielder, you get to sort of enjoy the game more, and you get to feel the game and dictate the play.
Before I got big, I was playing point guard, so I'm kinda like a pass-first person. Some people tell me I should be more selfish, but that's not me.
Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.
I'm a free safety. The one responsibility I have is making the play, really. So I take those chances.
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.
Dybala is three pages ahead of the rest in the football manual.
There are strikers all over the world who wouldn't get the goals if they didn't have a creative midfielder or someone that enjoys making assists.
David Silva at Man City was my favourite player to play with; we had a good understanding on the pitch.
I don't really classify myself as a scorer. I'm a ballplayer; I'm a playmaker. I like to set people up and make the game easy for everybody.
I'm a versatile point guard who is unselfish and can score at all three levels.
I can't think of much higher praise to give a player than to say, 'This point guard reminds me of Jason Kidd.'
He scores goals, assists, and he's got everything that you'd ask for in a striker. We, as African players, are all proud of what Didier achieved as a player. The way he holds himself is unbelievable.
I have been a big admirer of Coutinho, and he can be a very important player for Liverpool and Brazil.
Even though I've been tagged as a scorer and a guy who shoots a lot, I'm a guy that makes the best plays that I possibly can.
I want to go to a team that needs a guy like me, a shooter, a guy who can do a lot of things offensively, that can use me right away.
I'll make changes at receiver before I make a change at the quarterback.
I wouldn't call myself a real point guard.
Most of the time, you're just trying to be the point guard out there based on the play call and the defense that you're getting; that really dictates where the football goes.
I've always been a guy that's just prided myself on making plays.
