"That is not a concern. It is something I am quite used to at club level. I feel as if I am mature enough and experienced enough to adapt to different roles," said Gerrard.
"You know my favourite role. I don't have to go on record and say it again.
"But, as long as I am in that starting XI and part of this England team, because I believe we will improve to get to where we want to get, I don't mind where I play.
"I think football has changed. In this day and age you can't afford to be selfish and think about yourself and spit your dummy out of the pram if you are not in your favourite position.
"You have got to adapt and be a team player and that's what I think I am. I have mentally accepted that - about six years ago."
