The versatile AC Milan player is desperate to cement his place in the Netherlands squad, and has stressed that he would happily ply his trade at the left-back position for his national side.
AC Milan midfielder, Urby Emanuelson, has made it clear that it will not be problem for him to play at the left-back position for Netherlands.
The 26-year-old, who can play in any role down the left side of the pitch, made his Oranje debut in a friendly game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 in August 2006.
However, the versatile Dutchman has failed to cement his place in the Flying Dutchmen squad, representing his national team in only 15 games thus far.
The former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder prefers to ply his trade at the left midfield position, but the talented midfielder faces stiff competition in the Oranje line-up from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775 and Rafael van der Vaart for his preferred position.
And now the versatile 26-year-old player has now stressed that he can play at the left-back position with ease, as he is desperate to represent his national team once again.
“It would not be a problem for me to play at left-back. Everybody wants to get playing time and so do I. I'm feeling very well. Things are a bit difficult at Milan, but I have a good feeling about my own performances”, Emanuelson was quoted as saying while
talking to journalists.
The handy Dutchman, who has thus far represented Milan in 41 Serie A games since arriving at San Siro half-way through the 2010/11 season, went on to insist that he will try his level best to impress the Oranje head coach, Louis van Gaal.
“I will do my utmost here and we'll see whether I'll get playing time”, Emanuelson concluded.

The Flying Dutchmen will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romania-c2990 four days later at Arena Nationala.
