Arsenal’s Robin Van Persie hails Netherlands as the favourites to win the Euro 2012
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 has come forth and expressed a lot of confidence in his national team, as the player believes that Netherlands are amongst the favourites to win the Euro 2012.
So far, the Dutch side have managed to mount a very impressive run leading up to the Euro 2012. Ever since Bert van Marwijk was appointed as manager of the national side, they have managed to lose only one competitive game since the end of the Euro 2008.
As a result, the team has had a flawless qualification into the next round of the Euro’s.
Based on the facts and the team’s recent performances, Van Persie strongly believes that Netherlands are amongst the favourites to come out on top next year. He then went on to mention that based on their form, the Dutch were easily more likely to win the
tournament when compared to the likes of Italy and France.
The forward when talking about the upcoming tournament went on to state: "It is fair to say that Netherlands are one of four, maybe five teams who are the favourites to win Euro 2012. I think that pretty much everyone in Europe will agree with me about that"
"No team has made as much progress as us since the last European Championships. Teams like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 haven't made similar steps forward."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 are currently leading Group E and are well on their way to participate in the Euro 2012. The team is on top of things and have already picked up a massive twenty seven points from the nine games that they played during the qualification stage
of the tournament. The team is now going to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 in their final qualifying game.
Despite this upcoming game being a rather meaningless one, Netherlands will be looking to make it an impressive thirty points from ten games and as a result, the team will not be taking their opponents lightly.
