Learning to play different roles has made me a more all-round midfielder.

I don't want to leave Feyenoord before having made an impact at the club.

At Under-11/12, I was playing as a right-back. The manager then was Cyril Helstone, and he said to me, 'No, you're not a defender. You should be in midfield.' That was the big change in my career because from that moment until I made my debut in the first-team at Feyenoord, that was the position I played.

The most important thing is to enjoy football because you don't know how long your career is going to last, but it is difficult when things don't go well.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

When Peyton went into the game and remained the starter, it was OK with me because our team was winning games. We won a championship.

I think they need to expand the playoff system. I think the minimum should be 16 teams, but they could easily go with more than that... in other words, I want to see more football. Everybody from rec league softball on down can figure out how to put together a tournament and yet Division I can't.

Behind every great athlete is a masterful coach that inspires the athlete to evolve into the strongest performer they can become.
