PAULBosvelt reckons that a sustained run in the team will finally give him the chance to show Manchester City supporters why he is in contention for Holland's Euro 2004 squad.
Stronger, fitter and more dynamic, Bosvelt was outstanding against Leicester last Wednesday, showing the form that has seen him partner Edgar Davids in the Dutch national side and he is hoping that can continue.
Bosvelt's resurgence in form has been particularly well received by Kevin Keegan, who broke off from City's pre-season tour of Denmark to ensure his pursuit of the midfielder's signature ended successfully.
