If I Could...with Niamh Charles

Niamh Charles is the latest England international to face our new feature 'If I Could...'.

The Lionesses defender answers a series of hypothetical questions, revealing which position she'd love to play in, the film she'd want to star in, and much more.

Here is what she had to say.

If I could do a different job, it would be...

"I'd really like to play another sport at a high level. I know that's probably a boring answer but I want to live a day in the life of a different routine. I enjoyed watching the Tour de France this summer. I'm terrible on my bike but if I was better I'd like to try a day of that."

If I could cover one song, it would be...

"I'm not sure on one specific song but it would be Alicia Keys or Adele. Someone who's a pure vocalist.

"Within this squad, Millie Turner is a decent singer. We went to a signing dinner event and there were all sorts of different styles. The first one was opera and she was giving a bit afterwards. She wasn't terrible. It's a hard style of singing and she was OK, which is a compliment I think compared to everybody else."

If I could go back and relive one moment of your life, it would be...

"Winning the league last season with Chelsea would be something I'd love to relive. Everything about it, the game and then the celebrations afterwards, I just loved it. These things come and go so quickly and I'd love to have it again. It went to the last day, which made things more nervous, but once you get over the line it becomes the best day."

If I could play in a different position, it would be...

"I'd love to play in one of the midfield positions, maybe a sitting midfielder. The physical demands for me are so different in the wide areas than they are on the inside of the pitch. In the centre of midfield you're constantly running and constantly involved. I'd like to see an experiment where every player has to play somewhere new, to see which players are world-class anywhere and which would be struggle. That would be really fun."

If I could score one type of goal, it would be...

"I have my dream goal, which is to take it to the byline, dribble back inside and as everybody's moving for the cutback you just flick it into the net. It'll probably never happen because a lot would need to go my way to find myself in that position."

If I could score one goal from history, it would be...

"I can't think of a goal like I described in the last question so I'd probably go for Steven Gerrard in the FA Cup final against West Ham. The power on it and the way he sprinted off afterwards was something he became known for."

If I could be a professional in a different sport, it would be...

"I mentioned cycling earlier but I would honestly do any. Football was the only sport I ever got serious about but if not it hopefully would have been something else."

If I could be a manager, my choice of suit and tracksuit would be...

"My instinct would be to wear a tracksuit because it's more comfortable and means you can just think about other things rather than how you look. But I do think there's something to be said for wearing a suit, how it makes you feel and how you present to other people. I wouldn't mix it up, though, you have to be one or the other."

If I could eat one meal for the rest of your life, it would be...

"It's really boring but I'd say pesto pasta with a fresh salad on the side. It's a weird answer but I just love it."

If I could live in the mind of one teammate, it would be...

"Khiara Keating comes out with some mad stuff. She's just a joker. It must be the mind of a goalkeeper."

If I could star in one film, it would be...

"One of the Harry Potter films. I loved them growing up, they were pretty iconic films. They're a good comfort watch."

If I could live on a desert island with one teammate, it would be...

"Probably Lauren Hemp because I wouldn't get sick of her. Having said that, in terms of survival I don't think we'd do very well. She might surprise me, she's not bad at building stuff, but I would go with her for the company."
