"I am not a fan of catenaccio, it's not for me. I don't like it when teams just try to pass the ball around to waste time," Dossena told official publication LFC Magazine this week.
"If you concede a goal in the last minute of a game, it could be that all your efforts have been wasted. I don't really like the talk about Italian football being all about the defence and attacking on the break.
"Of course, I see myself as a defender but I like to be flexible too. If there is a chance to attack I am very happy to go forward. I am not the type of player who is happy to settle for a 1-0 win.
"I believe in always playing to win and trying to score more goals."
