Luka Milivojevic is eager to move back into Crystal Palace's midfield.
Milivojevic featured in defence for Palace's victory over West Brom in Hong Kong.
"I'm happy that I scored a free-kick but first of all I am happy because we won in the end and the team played well, so we are travelling back home with smiles," he told the Crystal Palace website.
"He [De Boer] tried me there when we played a game against each other and it was a position that I was playing for the first time in my life.
"I don't feel very comfortable there but I am there for the team and I will try and give my best for them, but my position is as a midfielder. I think I did OK but hopefully in the future I will play as a midfielder!"
