We believe defending is very much a team job, and we can't just rely on a back four and a goalkeeper.
The bigs are there on the help-side if the guy goes by me, and I'm able to switch to other offensive players.
Defending isn't just about tackling and heading, it's also about getting the ball down and playing - starting the attack from the back.
You can't be happy, taking away something I've worked on all my life to do and help my teammates and help my defense, ... It's just part of me, playing the puck. So, definitely, you can't be happy.
I feel comfortable in the playmaker role, but I can play on the left, on the right, and even pivot.
As a wing back, when you get the ball wide, you usually don't have any help out wide. You have to be pretty good on your own out there.
A midfielder should be able to play several positions.
I've always said it, and the whole football world knows that Cavani is a centre-forward and that he has proven his worth in that position. Having said that, Cavani has shown other characteristics that can help the team, like winning the ball back, helping out defensively.
The quarterback gets plenty of protection in the pocket, and he picks up protection out of the pocket; he's got protection down the field on his slides.
At fullback you have a little bit more defensive responsibility. You have to help out with your center backs a little bit more. As a wing back, you can be a little bit more aggressive with getting forward.
I think when you have the point guard guarding someone full court and just chasing the guy all around, always in the right spot, it just makes you want to get down in a stance and be his backup and have his help whenever he needs it. Or having the same energy that he has.
Every team needs goalscorers, attacking players, players who can sweep up the ball, but every team needs that someone who can be the link between defence and attack. The greatest teams always have that sort of player.
As full-backs, we like to get high and wide. It's the style of football that I enjoy playing.
Any time you roll up a corner and you have a safety standing behind him helping out the corner, it's frustrating for any player.
In the English 4-4-2 you have to change your mentality from a winger to a left midfielder, having to help your full-back.
It makes me happy knowing my teammates are always going to have my back defensively, and I'm always going to have theirs.
