“Thrilled and proud”

“By the end of the afternoon team manager Hans Jorritsma told me I had been added to the Holland squad. He added that I should report for duty immediately. “I’m grateful Van Marwijk has been keeping tabs on me. I’m obviously thrilled and I’m also looking forward to linking up with the other lads at the training sessions. I represented my country at Under-21 level, but it is an honour to be called up to the senior squad. I want to play for Holland and it would be a great honour and a proud moment for me.”
