Netherlands can beat Slovakia and go all the way to the final of the 2010 World Cup and even lift the trophy, claims Robin Van Persie. The Holland striker believes that the Dutch have the perfect balanced squad of anytime in Dutch football’s recent memory, and should take advantage of their strengths to become champions of the world for the first time.
The Netherlands became only the second team to enjoy a perfect group stage record after Argentina when they eased past Japan, Cameroon and Denmark on their way to the second round. However, Van Persie believes the best is yet to come from the Oranje as they prepare for their second round clash against the team that knocked former world champions Italy out of the tournament in South Africa.
“As we go forward, we can meet big, big teams but I’m really positive we can do something with this team,” the Arsenal striker said. “This is the best team I have played in so far. We have been on a great run in matches and when you look at the level in training, it is unbelievable.
“The level is growing and growing every day. It was good when we got here. But now it is amazing. This is our best chance ever. If you look at the age of our senior players, most of us are 25 or 26.
“In four years’ time these players will be 30, which still isn’t bad. But that’s the future. I sense this is our moment, this is our time.”
Holland’s best performance in the World Cup have been two trips to the final in 1974 and 1978, led by the Dutch legend Johan Cryuff. They have always been perpetual favourites due to the exciting brand of total football that is the hallmark of football from the country, but have often fallen short of expectations on the big stage.
Bert van Marwijk’s side boasts plenty of quality and matchwinners with Champions League winning playmaker Wesley Sneijder, Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben, Van Persie and Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
