John Stones has lifted the lid on his new midfield role with Manchester City.
Stones was outstanding in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester United.
"We worked on it all week, my role and that responsibility," Stones told the BBC post-match. "It's definitely not (easy). I have really enjoyed understanding when I can receive a ball - my timing, body shape. I feel like, the players who've played in there, they've naturally got that 360 vision.
"They know what's behind them; I've not got that! So, my body shape, receiving the ball - I've honestly enjoyed learning everything about it and it's given me a new dimension.
"I was saying to Meeks (Micah Richards) the other week, about respecting someone playing that position when I don't - knowing when to give them the ball. It's little things like that and it obviously makes it better when it's like today."
