My perfect formation would be 4-3-3 with one holding and then the two going forward. I would be one of the ones going forward.
I'm going to play with one goalkeeper, obviously, one defender, one midfielder and two attackers, very offensive because we need to score goals.
There's a little triangle - five left-footed players.
I've always preferred a 4-3-3. It's a more fluid and dynamic system, and I think it plays to my strengths better.
In the past, you would have been classed as a sweeper if you were put in the middle of a three-man defence.
I came from Ajax where you play 4-3-3 and as a winger they didn't want you to defend.
Playing 4-5-1, I could have all the liberty in the world - it was complicated to express myself.
I was only used to 4-3-3. For me as a left-winger you have also a left midfielder and a left-back behind you. But in a 4-4-2 you are basically also the left midfielder so you have to help more in defence and I wasn't used to that.
Everything I did on the left I had to learn in a 4-4-2 system, it wasn't natural. To collect the ball on my wrong foot.
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 prefer playing in a 4-3-3.
Every striker is stronger when we play with wingers.
Usually, when I'm in the 3-5-2, it's at the end of the game, in the 80th minute, where I'm really just attacking.
I am in my best position in the middle of the 4-2-3-1.
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.
The 4-1-4-1 system is weird.
