The Swansea City goalkeeper was hopeful of a place in the squad after his manager sent a DVD of him in action to the Dutch coach but – as widely predicted – he has missed out on the original 26 man training squad.<\/p>\n
Speaking after his exclusion, De Vries told the Western Mail “The coach made up his mind over the last year and a half and I don’t think he was going to change it. <\/p>\n
“Maybe if there are a couple of injuries I could be back in with a shout.<\/p>\n
“I feel I made progression this season and I am still learning every day.<\/p>\n
“It makes me proud to have 24 clean sheets in a season, it’s a great achievement.<\/p>\n
“I’ve grown a lot over the last few years.<\/p>\n
“I’ve got my own ambitions as well, I want to keep on growing and I want to keep on performing.<\/p>\n
“The team has done well and some individuals have had great seasons,” added de Vries. “A lot of contracts are also expiring next year.<\/p>\n
“So it is just down to the club if something is going to happen, but you never know in football.<\/p>\n
“Football is an opportunistic world, many of the players have been playing consistently well this season.<\/p>\n
“So I would not be surprised if there is a lot of interest in the summer and we will just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n
“It’s the same with the gaffer as well. Last year we had a great season and almost got us to the play-offs and Roberto Martinez left.<\/p>\n
