Rice: I performed well because I had more freedom on the court and wanted to be an all-around midfielder.

October 10th: In a recent interview, Rice talked about his performance at Arsenal and the national team. He believed that the reason why he performed well was that he had more freedom.

Rice said: "I can play the 6th or 8th position. I feel like I am more of an all-around No. 8 player now."

"The coach at Arsenal made some adjustments to my position this year and gave me more freedom. I can either drop back to defend or "

"This is the same as Tuchel's requirements. I think this is very suitable for me to appear on the left side of the midfield. I can fully participate in offense and defense and become an all-round midfielder. This is what I pursue. I enjoy this kind of football."

" The coaches of the team and the club, they all lay out the tactics very clearly, telling me what to do and where to be. Obviously it's my responsibility to execute those tactics, but when you have confidence in football you feel unstoppable. "

"I performed very strongly at the end of last season. Maybe there were one or two games at the beginning of this season that did not meet expectations, but I have now recovered my form. I feel very strong, in good physical condition, confident in my game and hopefully can continue to move up whether it's England or Arsenal. "
