Patrice Evra: Started as a striker and ended up as one of the best left backs in the game.

Cristiano : Started as winger ended up as a prolific world-class goalscorer.
Ronaldo can perfectly play all the forward positions

From LW RW to ST (left wing, right wing, striker)
infact he doesn't even play as point man as in no 9 but score pass any no. 9

Add Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.

Ronaldo started as a wingman, and is ending up a prolific striker.

Messi started as a frontman and is ending up a deep laying midfield.

Sergio Ramos started as a right back and is ending up as a centre back.

Giggs started as a wingman, ended as a midfielder.

The list is endless
Messi and Bale are largely the most versatile among footballers of this generation...

Messi is like a ghost.... One minute he is intercepting attack at the back, next minute he is bossing the midfield, then before you say Lionel, he is beating defenders to score a mind blowing goal... I fear that guy.

Ronaldo - winger to striker
Rooney - striker to midfielder
Valencia - right midfielder to right back
Young - winger to full back

Henry - winger to striker
Jose handwork.

Barcelona coach is using Semedo as left back now and Barcelona actually bought Junior Firpo, likely Alba's replacement. How confused can a coach be?
Junior just returned back from injury bro.

In football nowadays, wingers are sort after in goal scoring than strikers.

You can see it by the price tag placed on wingers and to some extend attacking midfilders.

bale was a good left back but assou ekotto was better in that position hence bale was pushed forward as a winger.

Oga ronaldo still remains a winger but he can perfectly outperform any player in any forward FW positions be it RW right winger LW left winger and ST striker

It's so funny how some are moving forward while others are moving backward.

•

Ashley Young kicked off his career as a winger. He wasn't competent enough, they had to move him to midfield. He still wasn't competent enough, they had to move him to midfield. Yet he wasn't competent enough, they had to push him to defense. Worst part is....

•


He still wasn't competent enough.

Zambrota played 2,3,5,7&11

Ashley Cole started as a striker but due to his stature was deployed to left back.

How many games semedo has played as a left back if not 2 games? Dont you know junior firpo is injured?

Firpo has already played 4 league games and score 1 goal before his injury so you can see he is player, try find out for your self next time, dont be quick to speak what you know nothing about

If dem say na back of tv you dey watch e go be like insult
