Wesley Sneijder: I am in great form, but it is difficult to impress whilst the team is suffering

Wesley Sneijder has insisted that although Inter have been far from impressive in recent weeks, he is quite satisfied with his individual displays.

Much has been said about the Netherlands international’s performances under head coach Claudio Ranieri, but the former Ajax star feels that there has been nothing wrong with his showing at club level.

“I am the first to admit it if I am not giving my all or if I’m not performing well. However, as strange as it might sound following our recent defeats, that’s simply not the case,” Sneijder was quoted as saying by De Telegraaf.

“I am in great form at the moment. My first touches and passes are all fine. Nevertheless, it all depends on the group process.

“It is hard to shine when the team is struggling. With a little bit more luck, I would have had eight assists in the past two games.”

The attacking midfielder then looked ahead to this summer’s European Championship, but stated that there is still a lot of football to be played before the competition in Poland and Ukraine.

“We still have a long preparation ahead of Euro 2012. Even the guys who have not been playing regularly at club level have plenty of opportunities to prove their worth. The team is the most important thing rather than individuals,” he confessed.

Netherlands open Euro 2012 with a match against Denmark on June 9.
