"Last year didn't go well and I'm one of the contributing players at Liverpool and Oranje," he told Voetbal International. I realise that, I'm proud of that.
I played very good games last year, but also duels in which I was much less, which were not up to the standard I set myself.
Then you have to deal with the criticism and I admit that, like every human being, I am not always immune to that. I understand very well that criticism is part of the job and that's fine. But sometimes you can handle it better than other times.
One thing I really do have as a goal is to get everything out of it that's in me. We'll see what the next few years bring.
Physically and mentally, I feel strong and good. I just want to win everything. We're looking good with Liverpool at the moment and we can still take nice prizes like the championship and the Europa League.
I want to receive those as captain of this wonderful club and if everything goes along and falls right, I may also hold up a trophy once as captain of the Dutch national team."
