Gareth Southgate has ignored Phil Foden’s plea to play in central midfield.
“He's always got the freedom to drift if we play him wide and that's important. It depends on the level of the game, really."and stressed in an interview earlier this month that he"can definitely" handle the extra responsibility of a central role., Foden said:"I think the one I played in against Newcastle , that's my favourite one, that's where I feel comfortable."I felt alive in that game, I felt myself more and I could get on the ball and do things.
"There's a lot of responsibility, it's not just about going forward. You have to know what you're doing defensively and know who is around you. But, it's one that I can definitely do and I'm looking forward if I can play there more often, what I can do in there.”added:"We're playing at one of the best teams in the world. You're not guaranteed to play every game, even if you've done well in the last game.
“I'm used to it but hopefully, I can keep playing a lot of football now because Kev [De Bruyne] is injured and I'm needed for the team. So I hope I can fulfil that position and try to do good things there."
