Liverpool defender Joe Gomez feels his versatility has worked in his favour.
Gomez has played right across the back four this past season.
I've obviously said before I'm a centre-half [but] I think this season has taught me I just want to enjoy playing football, I don't necessarily need to box myself in," the 27-year-old told the clubs website.
Obviously I still feel like I can contribute well at centre-half, but I've definitely enjoyed my football. For me, that comes first. Just trying to help the team. I definitely wouldn't say, 'No, gaffer, I don't want to play another position.'
The main thing is just giving your all for the badge. And wherever that is, I'm definitely in a phase of my career where I'm more accepting to whatever that may be, I'm not as young and hard-headed about 'I need to play centre-half'.
A lot of it is your mindset and the way you approach the game. Me approaching it this year with a more open mind and just trying to do my best for the team and contribute however possible.
Because there has been a lot of change, the positions have not been standard at times and there has been alterations tactically and that's just the way the game is heading, but in a way I have enjoyed that challenge. It keeps it fresh, it keeps it exciting.
Everyone wants consistency but I'll be open, I definitely won't box it in or shut that door. I just want to give my all and wherever that is, that is."
