Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt says he's feeling happier about his form.

The former Ajax captain had a slow start to his Juve career, but is now coming into his own.

De Ligt said, "[The criticism] was only for a moment. I had a very good game against Milan and scored the winner against Torino in the derby. It was a beautiful moment. I am happy."

The 20-year-old is also happy seeing Holland teammate Stefan de Vrij succeed with Inter Milan.

"It's a great fight for the title with Inter. But I see De Vrij as more of a friend.

"If he plays against me, he gives it to me and vice versa. I'm often with him as Milan is only an hour in the car from Turin. I really like having someone nearby to speak Dutch with."
