Babel’s fears over World Cup place

Liverpool winger Ryan Babel has admitted he is worried about not earning a World Cup place for Holland in 2010.

The Dutch winger started as a substitute in most of Liverpool’s games this season and wants to get back in the starting eleven to increase his chances of featuring for Holland.

Babel revealed: “Not being called up by Holland has definitely scared me into doing something. It’s all about making the most of my chances in the first team now.

“The situation for me is clear. This has to be the year for me. I am trying to do whatever it takes to get into the team.

“If I give everything and the situation is still difficult, then you have to be honest with yourself.

“But I’m still confident that I can be a very important player for Liverpool.

“There’s a World Cup at the end of the season and my position for the Holland national team is in danger.

“For the first time in 33 games, I wasn’t called up for the national team. That was very scary. It’s clear I have to play a lot of games for Liverpool to earn a ticket to the World Cup.

“The Holland coach made a statement that he wants his players playing for their clubs. It’s clear I need to be playing more for Liverpool.”
