Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 has admitted that he is tired of playing as a left – back and wants to return to playing in the heart of the defence once again.
In a rather bizarre situation, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 went on to see all four of their full – backs pick up injuries, which ruled them out of action for a lengthy period of time.
During the absence of these full – backs, Arsenal went on to use their centre backs on the flanks. Over the course of the last couple of weeks, Thomas Vermaelen has been used as a left back and the defender has admitted that he has started to get frustrated
by playing out of position.
The Belgian international has now revealed that he would much rather return to playing as a centre back now, since he has started to get frustrated by playing out of position.
Vermaelen feels that he just can’t perform to the best of his abilities on the flank and knows that he would be able to contribute a whole lot more should he be move back to the centre.
The Gunners defender is quoted to have said: “I am fed up playing at left-back"
"I don't think I am good there - I want to achieve my highest level and I can't do that on the left.”
He also revealed that he only agreed to play out of position, because he felt he would be able to help the team out. However, Vermaelen feels that his performances as a full back have not been up to the standards that he would have wanted them to be and
hence he wishes to be reinstated as a centre back.
"I play there to help the team but it gives me no satisfaction as I can't reach my best standard.
"I do my http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 but seldom feel content after matches. If the team wins I am happy, but it remains frustrating."
Luckily for Vermaelen, both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kieran-Gibbs-c20945 are back to full fitness and are more than likely to be included in the Gunners starting eleven from now on.
As a result, it seems like Vermaelen will be getting his wish and be returning to the centre back role.
