When I went to FC Groningen, I had to take my bike to training - my first wage went on driving lessons. Before I signed my contract, I was 15 or 16 and working as a dishwasher in a Breda restaurant.

I try to read the game as well as I can.

To play with pressure is always a good thing. I like to play with pressure.
