De Guzman realised a dream of his when he was introduced as a second half substitiute during the Dutch’s 1-1 draw with Italy last week and he revealed after the game that everyone knows the style of play being played at the Swans and that was making people take notice.
“Everyone knows what we’re doing and how we’re playing — even the guys playing in the Dutch league know we’re a good side and that we’re good to watch,” said de Guzman in today’s Evening Post.
“They watch our games and know we play attractive football. That’s a great feeling when people talk like that, it makes you proud. It’s great to be a part of this club.
“Louis van Gaal gave me the opportunity, I got my debut and it went well I felt.
“It was a great experience. I got treated very well by the other guys in the squad.
“It’s a talented team and perhaps it can be daunting to come in, but I was made to feel at home and I loved every minute of it.
“It vindicates my decision to come to Swansea, where the team suits me and the manager believes in me,” said de Guzman.
“From last year, Swansea put themselves on the map in their first year in the Premier League.
“This year was always going to be more difficult, but we’ve carried on playing our football and it’s worked out well for me. Everyone is delighted with the way we are going.”
De Guzman will be with the Swans squad that go in search of a second Anfield win of the season on Sunday and he added:
“It would be great to get that win and claim some points up there because we had a great win up there earlier in the season, but we cannot underestimate them.
“It will be a very different game, they’ve been playing well and played some great football if not always with the results.
“But it’s a game we’re looking forward to.
“The confidence we have as a team is great and, although we hadn’t scored for a couple of games, we felt we looked back to our best last Saturday.
“It’s going well, I can’t complain. I’m a happy camper and very grateful for the opportunities I’m getting.
“I don’t want this to end, I’m enjoying my football and want that to last as long as it can.”
