The Netherlands head coach was all praise for the Schalke and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 striker, and confessed that the duo can partner upfront at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine this summer.
Netherlands head coach, Bert van Marwijk, has not ruled out the possibility of unleashing Schalke’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
Huntelaar had a prolific 2011/12 campaign, finding the back of the net 29 times, and was crowned the German Bundesliga top goal-scorer of the season.
On the other hand, Van Persie played an integral role in the Gunners’ third place finish on the table in the 2011/12 season. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam hit-man netted an impressive 30 goals, and was awarded the Premier League
Golden Boot.
Van Marwijk has made it clear that the Arsenal and Schalke hit-man can certainly play together in the upcoming European Championship.
“Of course they can play together. Robin is an elusive striker, but he has proved that he can also be a killer in the penalty area. Klaas-Jan is a goal scorer and he is getting better with every match in the national team”, the
Dutch trainer was quoted as saying to FIFA.com.
The Oranje secured a 6-0 hammering 6-0 over Northern Ireland in their final friendly in preparation for the Euro 2012 at Amsterdam Arena on June 2. Van Persie and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 and Ron
Vlaar scored a goal each to help their side in claiming an impressive win.
Van Persie’s second goal came from the spot. Although, many were expecting that Bayern Munich’s star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521, will be given a chance to take the spot-kick to diminish his UEFA Champions League final demons – the talented
winger missed from the spot against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the extra-time.
However, the Oranje head coach has stressed that it would not have helped the Bavarians winger to gain his confidence.
“I do not know if that would have worked. I do not believe in such actions. I don't think it would have helped Robben so much if had stepped up against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972”, Van Marwijk concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 on June 9.
