There were loads of managers who said, 'You have to concentrate on being a winger because you have more potential there.' But I was like, 'You can say what you want, but I'm a midfielder, and I know what's the best for me.'
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I was full of confidence in myself that I would reach the top or be a professional player as a midfielder.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Normally, I am a player who can play in different positions, but never in defence.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I don't care what other people say about me. I know what I'm capable of.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
If you look at the difference games between the bigger and smaller teams, the difference in concentration, and being passive is big; that is my opinion.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
If a whole team doesn't perform, you cannot pick one player especially and say, 'He doesn't do this or do that.'
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I can play in different positions, and if I can do what I'm good at, score goals, show how good I can play football, then it's OK with me.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I think, a lot of teams, when they come to Anfield and they play a draw, they think it is a good result.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
When you play at home, you want the fans behind you, and you must give them something back.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
At Under-11/12, I was playing as a right-back. The manager then was Cyril Helstone, and he said to me, 'No, you're not a defender. You should be in midfield.' That was the big change in my career because from that moment until I made my debut in the first-team at Feyenoord, that was the position I played.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
At seven, I played centre-back. When you're so young, though, it's more to enjoy the training and to get a feel for the game. It's not heavy on tactics of a position. We were playing on a half pitch, seven against seven or eight against eight, so they say you're a centre-back, but it's not like the real definition.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Because I was fast, technical, and could dribble well, it was always the easy thing to label me just a winger and have me stick to that.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I have to be honest: in my career, I've really had to fight to come in the middle again. A lot of managers told me, 'You are way more comfortable as a winger than as a midfielder,' but I always kept my trust and confidence in what I knew about my qualities.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I think I've shown I have the defensive discipline to play deep as the No.6 and start the build ups with my passing. I can also play higher up the pitch and make a difference in the opposition area. Being able to do both has helped me to play so many games.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
It makes it easier for you to play more often and it makes it easier for the manager if he has players who can be used in different positions.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Learning to play different roles has made me a more all-round midfielder.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I always try to perform, and not because you have players on the bench or on the pitch that can play in your position.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Liverpool will always buy good players, even if they already have good players. That's normal. I think it has to be normal for a club like Liverpool because that means you're a big club.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Some days, you don't score, but then you have to make sure you don't concede.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
When it goes bad, you know supporters will be angry at players who were bought for most money.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
When a lot of players come to a club, it can be difficult to gel because you don't know each other properly.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
With my quality, I feel I can bring a lot to a team that I will join. I want to show it in the big leagues: England, Italy, Spain, Germany, and France.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
It's always a blow for a team if important players get injured or suspended.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
To follow in the footsteps of Dirk Kuyt would be sensational. He triumphed at Feyenoord and has had great success at Liverpool.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
It's my dream to play in a big league, and England would be the perfect choice.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I like to score goals, as, back in the day, I was used to scoring goals.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
You can't afford to lose games. It is always possible that you will not win, but it is the way you play the game.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
You must play with the same intention: to win the game and give everything you have.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
It would be absolutely fantastic to play at Real Madrid together with my friend Royston Drenthe.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I want to move to one of Europe's best clubs if I leave Rotterdam, just like Robin van Persie and Kuyt did before.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I don't want to leave Feyenoord before having made an impact at the club.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
At Newcastle, I was playing in the No 10 position but also in midfield as a left winger.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
Before I signed for Liverpool, I was playing for Newcastle as a No. 10 - basically, I was always attacking. I didn't have to do much defensive work; I didn't play as the No. 6 or the No. 8.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
I wanted to be a gymnast when I was young - I used to do backflips and all those things in the street and at home - but my grandma said it was dangerous and made me stop.
Quote by -Georginio Wijnaldum
You will always learn from games. But every game is not the same, not the same emotion.
