Sunderland and USA striker Jozy Altidore believes his two years in Holland have improved his game after a disappointing 2009/10 season with Hull. "I think I just became a better player in Holland than the one when I was at Hull," said the 23 year old.
"On and off the ball and linking up with the players around me, I just got better. It's that simple. I've become a much more confident player since then.
"The two leagues are completely different, but we're trying to play football which looks good and hopefully I can score some goals."
