Gallas: I want to play in my proper position

CHELSEA’S French defender William Gallas believes he will never be considered one of the best central defenders in the world because he is being played out of position by coach Jose Mourinho.

The player’s hopes of returning to his more orthodox role alongside skipper John Terry were reduced yet further by Wayne Bridge’s decision to join Fulham on loan for the rest of the season.

Mourinho considers Gallas the natural replacement for Asier del Horno when the Spaniard is not selected and against Charlton on Sunday the versatile defender is expected to play at right-back.
