It's always difficult if you're coming into a new club and new league, especially the English one. It's a very demanding one, can be a very tough one.

At Ajax, we have a certain philosophy that is sometimes more important than winning - the development of players.

I share a special bond with Ajax. I think we are a special club. And we're known for our philosophy around the world.

I always said I wanted to finish my career back at Ajax, but I didn't think I was going to play for so long at such a high level, so that's not going to happen now.

I'm not in the news business and won't tell people how to do their job. I'd like to restore trust in the news business, though, and feel that restoring fact-checking will really help. News business realities mean that such fact-checking has to be practical, it has to be fast and cheap.

Throughout my political career, I've believed in the concept of home rule. Some call it local control. Whichever phrase you use, the concept is the same - the best decisions are those made closest to those who will be impacted by the decisions.

In this business, you have so little control over things, but one of the things you can control is who you work with.

My personal life is lived as 'me,' but my professional life is lived as other people. In other words, when I go to the office, I lie down, dream, and become 'someone else.' That's my job.
