I think playing a player in the right position isn't really what is important it is playing a player in his right role. You can play Zidane on the left which is "his right position" but if you then state he is supposed to hug the side-line all game then you are still using him wrong.
Positions doesn't mean a lot really considering there are hundreds footballing styles and like 20 positions. Forlan was being played as a left-winger the entire tournament but he was neatly always portrayed as someone who cuts in.
Nobody had a problem with it, nor should they. Even if in reality Forlan was nothing at all like a left winger and his average position was that of a second striker.
@Pippa I also add this to that winger description. "The three will have free roles in the offense – the wingers will then track Carlos/Alberto in the defense." I think a free-roled winger is a pretty fair description of him and Ronaldinho.
