I know that I can play in the middle, on the right, or up front.
I genuinely enjoy watching the full-back run up the pitch and going across to fill in.
I was expected to run the same as Roberto Carlos or Cafu, but I just couldn't do it.
In modern day football, you've got to play in different positions. I've played in numerous positions, apart from centre-back and goalkeeper, I think.
I started off as a right-winger, but my coaches pushed me further and further back. So much so that I ended up in defence, because I wasn't good with my hands and there was nowhere else to go! So they put me there and that's when I found my position.
I'm an attacking full-back.
I started out as a defender. I played as a full-back, and then I moved into the centre. I played defence right the way through until the Under-18s. Honestly!
I can play at full back on either side, but I prefer the central defensive position.
I am a striker or at least a playmaker behind the front man, certainly not a wide man. But with Rome and Milan, I was only playing on the wings.
I like to play as a No. 10. I think I have more freedom offensively. For Belgium, we have full backs who run hard and create a lot of space, which is good, and I like to play there.
I can play left-back; I can play in midfield or on the left or right wings.
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.
At Newcastle, I was playing in the No 10 position but also in midfield as a left winger.
I can play in the centre or on the wing, behind one or two strikers, on the left or the right.
