N’Zogbia – Left Not Right

Newcastle United midfielder Charles N’Zogbia has said that he is better in the centre of midfield than on the left.

N’Zogbia has been a great player for the Magpies this season and the fans must find it hard to believe the Frenchman could play better elsewhere.

 

N’Zogbia said:

 

"I don't think that playing out wide is my best position, to be honest,"

 

"If I could choose to play anywhere, I would choose to play just in behind the strikers. But there are not too many English clubs that play that system and I'm happy to be playing wide at the moment.

 

"The gaffer has been telling me to play much closer to the touchline and that's what I have been trying to do. I'm happy there because it's the position I have played throughout my career.

 

"The gaffer wants us all to play with more width so that we can get more crosses into the box for the strikers."
