That&#8217;s a great  feeling when people talk like that, it makes you proud. It&#8217;s great to be a part  of this club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;Louis van Gaal gave me the opportunity, I got my debut and it went well I  felt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;It was a great experience. I got treated very well by the other guys in the  squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;It vindicates my decision  to come to Swansea, where the team suits me and  the manager believes in me,&#8221; said de Guzman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;From last year, Swansea put themselves on the map in their first year in the  Premier League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;This year was always going to be more difficult, but we&#8217;ve carried on  playing our football and it&#8217;s worked out well for me. Everyone is delighted with  the way we are going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">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:<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;It will be a very different game, they&#8217;ve been playing well and played some  great football if not always with the results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;But it&#8217;s a game we&#8217;re looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;The confidence we have as a team is great and, although we hadn&#8217;t scored for  a couple of games, we felt we looked back to our best last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;It&#8217;s going well, I can&#8217;t complain. I&#8217;m a happy camper and very grateful for  the opportunities I&#8217;m getting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storytext\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want this to end, I&#8217;m enjoying my football and want that to last as  long as it can.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Guzman realised a dream of his when he was introduced as a second half substitiute during the Dutch&#8217;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. &#8220;Everyone knows what we&#8217;re doing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":453,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/453"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
