Rico Lewis: I like playing midfield, but as long as I can help the team, I am willing to play anywhere

After renewing the contract with Manchester City, Rico Lewis confirmed in an interview that his favorite position is midfielder, but he also said that he is happy to play in any position as long as he can help the team.

Rico Lewis said this: "In my case, I like playing midfield, I think it's easier than coming from a full-back to a midfield, or returning from a midfield to a full-back because that's a bit longer. I like playing midfield, I like to be involved in the game more, but as long as I can help the team and contribute to the team, I'm willing to play anywhere."

"I've always said that when you grow up, goals and assists are what you want to do, but not everyone can do it. I want to make progress on both ends of the offense and defense, because now you can't focus on one aspect, but you have to take both aspects into consideration, which is important, and I think this is where I want to improve this season."

Regarding the goal against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals, Rico Lewis said: "Even today, that's not real. I think It was a special day, and it was a great time to start in the semi-finals and score goals very early, and it was an experience I had never forgotten in my life. "

"If I could be more in those positions, practice shooting skills and feel more natural in those positions, then things would only be better. It was really a special thing, I enjoyed it." "

Regarding the experience of growing up at Manchester City, Rico Lewis revealed: "When you make progress from the youth camp, you don't always think you have a chance to enter the first team. Especially when I first debuted, the team was really very high. They always win, look at the players on the team, you would feel that it was impossible to reach that level."

"To be able to play close to 100 games here is a great achievement for me and an honor for my family."
