I think we have really integrated well around Manchester. This is the place where we feel at home. We like it here, we love the English way of life and we prefer it much, much more than the south of Europe.

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

But really, I can only be dangerous for the team in one place, and that is in the box.

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.

As a private person I think I am now totally different from Ruud van Nistelrooy the footballer.

My back to the goal, physically fighting off defenders, trying to bang my goals in, every week I have to do the business for this club. That's the life of a striker.

Italy and Spain really are not my countries.
