The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international feels that the club fans and officials should not put too much pressure on him to perform, and also added that he might end his career with the Bundesliga outfit.
Hamburg attacking midfielder Rafael van der Vaart played down the hype surrounding his return to the club and said that the transfer is not extraordinary. The attacker then went on to claim that he is not in the club to work wonders
but will surely help them as much as he can in the twilight of his career.
The 29-year-old signed for the Dinosaur in the summer transfer window for a reported fee of €13 million from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur to continue his playing career in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
and two more in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 with Real Madrid before joining Spurs in 2010.
The classy playmaker earlier spent three years at his new side from 2005-2008, and some fans give him a legendary status at the club, even though, the player himself claimed that the supporters should not expect too much from him.
He told that he is not the same player that he was before in his time at the German team.
"I am not a saviour! I know that people expect many miracles from me, but I cannot make water run!" Van der Vaart was quoted as saying in an interview.
Moreover, the midfield maestro stated that he has joined Rothosen to enjoy his game and make them better as a whole. He believes that if Borussia Dortmund can win the league title twice after being in mid-table couple of years
back, they can also do the same.
"[I have come] to play good football and to improve the quality of the team. Dortmund has led the way. They were away from the top four years [ago], and now? [They are] twice champions,” he mused.
"It is very possible that Hamburg will be my last stop [before retirement]. Unless someone at the club tells me: "I'm sorry, Rafa. That's enough for you!" he finally concluded.
Hamburg are currently 17th in the league standings and faced defeat in all of their games until now.
