Ricardo Kishna says he “never had any doubts” about joining Lazio but Serie A is “quicker and more difficult.”
The forward joined the Aquile from Ajax this summer, having fallen out with Coach Frank de Boer while in Amsterdam.
“If you’re not comfortable in yourself, sooner or later the problems come out,” Kishna told Fox Sports.
“I don’t know if Frank de Boer has problems with players who aren’t like his ideal son, you should ask him. I can say that we didn’t enjoy our time together.

“I don’t know if Frank de Boer has problems with players who aren’t like his ideal son, you should ask him. I can say that we didn’t enjoy our time together.
“Before going to Lazio, I talked to my family, and my agent, Mino Raiola. I never had any doubts, if I had I wouldn’t have gone to Lazio.
“I only spoke with this club, and we found an agreement right away. There’s a different style of play in Italy, and it’s all a lot faster.
“With Lazio we’re always playing in different shapes, and that’s something to improve, it will be useful for the rest of my career.
“In Holland I was surrounded by a negative atmosphere, everything has changed at Lazio. I knew the club would back me, but I didn’t know I’d play so much.
“The most important thing in Italy is to have a winning mentality. It’s important that each of us gives our heart and soul.
“You have to react quickly. Maybe it doesn’t seem like it from outside, but the Italian League is quicker and more difficult.”
Holland are in serious danger of not qualifying for Euro 2016, as they are fighting for a play-off spot, and Kishna believes the Oranje being absent is unthinkable.
“At the moment it’s hard to see the Netherlands qualifying for the European Championships, but no-one can imagine the Euros without the Netherlands.”
