The Dutch winger has seen his fellow countryman return from injury and reclaim a place in the Swans matchday squad since signing terms at the Liberty.<\/p>\n
And he believes that not only can Ferrie complete a return from injury he can also progress his career to such a stage that he could be considered for the national squad.<\/p>\n
Van Der Gun told Wales on Sunday “Playing for Holland is definitely something Ferrie is capable of<\/p>\n
“I think it’s something he can aim for and he should certainly have that ambition.<\/p>\n
“It’s happened before with many players for things to move very quickly for them and to reach that stage.<\/p>\n
“And Ferrie can be one of them. The fact he is wanted by Premier League clubs shows the kind of quality he has.<\/p>\n
“It’s something that can happen for him in the future – but he cannot think about that too much.<\/p>\n
“After the injury he’s been through, the important thing for Ferrie is to just focus on the game in front of him.<\/p>\n
“If he does that and not get ahead of things, he’ll be back to his best very quickly.<\/p>\n
“But Ferrie knows that and he’s already showing it.<\/p>\n
“Me and Ferrie played together for two years and it’s good to be back playing with him again, The past few months have been tough for him and I know what he’s been through.<\/p>\n
“We spoke a lot on the phone last season and I had to tell him not to worry because he would be back.<\/p>\n
“There are times when you are afraid, when you have doubts – but when the football comes, when you can focus on the ball again then everything else is forgotten.<\/p>\n
“There would never be a problem with Ferrie – already people have seen how eager he is to get back to the levels he can perform at.<\/p>\n
“And the way I’ve seen him train and play, this is the Ferrie Bodde everyone is used to."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
