How Does Location Of Internal Links On A Page Matter For SEO & Google Search

Google's John Mueller said the location of internal links, links you place on your website to other parts of that same web site, does not necessarily matter if they are in the body content, footer, header or other sections on the page. The content, the anchor text, of those links helps Google understand what the page is about but the links aren't really used more than just for crawling your site.
