The Serbian claims that he is happy to function as a wide midfielder for Manchester City, despite his preference being a role at the back.
Despite the assortment of talent at the Etihad and a number of quality players to choose from, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandar-Kolarov-c4475 out of his natural position and onto the wing in the Premier League.
It’s a credit to the Serbian International’s flexibility that he can bombard forward with ease and curl in crosses for the strikers, but while he may flourish further down the line, his heart remains glued to the left-back role.

The tactician has often allowed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 to continue on that front but the Italian is far cry from a natural wingman and struggles to provide ammunition for the forwards or pose any real threat to his opposing defender.
So in the meantime, Kolarov will continue in a more advanced role, but it’s something which he claims that he has gotten used to over the past few months and can adapt so that the team benefits from his abilities.
Speaking to reporters, the Serb said that he would play wherever Mancini asked him to and that game time, not roaming out of position mattered to him.
"When the manager asks for me, I have to do my best for the team but my preference is left back. If you are in a big team, or a big squad, like ours you need to give your best, and whatever the manager asks from you, you need to put on the pitch. It's not
important which position you are in, as long as you get in the first eleven."
"I can't explain what it is about Edin. But it is important for us that he continues to score, whether it is from the bench or starting from the first minute,” Kolarov was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
