If I don't get the service or if I don't the ball in the box, where I want it, I start drifting into midfield. I go and look for the ball. I try to be important for the team in other areas.

I personally think that we can win the World Cup. We are improving with every game. With such a young average age in the squad we can only carry on improving.

Every day I work my guts out in training, every match I play my heart out.

Most of the pressure comes from myself, not from others. I don't need a manager or a pundit to put pressure on me. I do all that myself before others do it.

In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland.

Certain things do not effect me anymore, which is not always good. There is always commotion, but I notice that hardly anything affects me or puts me out of balance.

Because people have read those things in the newspapers, they think it is true. Ten years ago all these things I have just mentioned would have upset me.
