In small space a player has to be capable of acting quickly. A good player who needs too much time can suddenly become a poor player.

Every advantage has its disadvantage.

Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.

I find it terrible when talents are rejected based on computer stats. Based on the criteria at Ajax now I would have been rejected. When I was 15, I couldn't kick a ball 15 meters with my left and maybe 20 with my right. My qualities technique and vision, are not detectable by a computer.

I look at Messi, and he makes me laugh. A beautiful footballer who is still like a kid. A world superstar, but still a kid. Innocent, you know. He just plays.
