Toffees star ready to shineAfter an injury-delayed start to his career in England, Everton winger Andy van der Meyde is determined to establish himself as a force in the Premiership.
After easing himself back into action as a substitute in the Carling Cup defeat to Middlesbrough, Van der Meyde has started two Premiership matches and Everton have won both.
He said: "The Premiership is a lot faster and there is more contact than Italy or Holland. I am happy I can get in there now and as I get stronger I will be better and better,
"I think the Premiership suits my game because of the pace of the matches. My style in terms of my technique and crosses is good in England and I think England is good for me.
"My fitness is getting better but I am not yet at that point where I can play a full game. I have started two games now and that is good - I am very happy.
"That is something I still have to work on but every game I play I get stronger.
"But I always thought it would be good to play in England and now I have played in two games and I have done okay. But I am not yet at my best."
