As a goalkeeper, Van der Sar can do everything. He is very good at coming off his line, and he is also effective as a libero - what they call in England a 'sweeper keeper.'

It was my dream to have an opportunity to become a professional player.

When I was in high school, I started learning English as my second foreign language, but my level of English at that time was very average.

I would like to be a manager, to organize everything in training, see if my philosophy could work, and give it to the team.

I want to play first-team football.

They should have a rule: in order to be a sportswriter, you have to have played that sport, at some level; high school, college, junior college, somewhere. Or, you should have had to have been around the game for a long time.

For me, I want to improve, to play good football in a good league; the money is not the most important thing.

Golf is the only sport that a professional can enjoy playing with his friends.
