Manchester City’s John Stones is thriving in his new role as a midfielder under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, and it could even translate to success on the international stage with the England national team. Despite being a centre-back by trade, Stones has excelled in the 3-2-4-1 formation, impressing in wins over Liverpool and Bayern Munich. Guardiola has previously converted defenders to midfielders, but Stones is the first centre-back to make it work. In an interview with talkSPORT’s Micky Gray, Stones expressed his enjoyment of the new position and willingness to execute Guardiola’s vision, and even suggested it could be a viable option for England if manager Gareth Southgate sees fit.
