Meaning
This reads as a modest answer to the question of where growth comes from. De Ligt acknowledges outside influence, but the core of the remark is that experience, especially hard-won experience, teaches the most and shapes maturity on the field. It lands when a player is being asked how he improved, and the answer is less about talent than about learning through different moments and mistakes.
