Although we have already had a training camp of two days in Hoenderloo, it feels like the preparations for Euro 2012 are just about to start. Tomorrow (Thursday May 17), we will be on our way towards Lausanne with the national team with everyone being present, except for Ibrahim Afellay and Arjen Robben. Ibi still has a Spanish Cup Final to play with Barcelona and Arjen will be playing in the Champions League Final for Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Welcome, and it’s good to see that you are checking out my new website. And to be honest, I am quite proud of the final result. Almost every football player in the world has his own site. But just a website was not enough for me. I wanted one of which the visitors would say: this is totally Greg-style.

I will be playing the friendlies before the Euro Cup and during the finals on Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII. The ultra-thin upper material fits like a glove and is lighter than ever according to my sponsor Nike. ‘Light makes fast, and the Vapor just got lighter’ is their slogan and this is exactly how I experience them.

The Nike shirt in which we’ll be playing our friendlies in The Netherlands and our European Cup games in Kharkov, is the most environmental friendly of all times. The kit contains thirteen recycled plastic bottles on average.
