"I first hoped to be part of the first 30 players. Now I of course want to go to Euro 2008 too," said Kuyt.
"I hope Marco van Basten will keep on thinking about me now. I must show it on the field and I think I did that in the last games.
"But it is of course not easy for the coach. We have many good strikers, but I think I am a fine addition to the squad.
"It happens only once every four years. It was no fun for me to not be selected for some games after three years. But I still hope to be there."
Ryan Babel is also in the squad.
