Huntelaar has won the Golden Boot this season after he scored 29 goals in the Bundesliga this season. The player scored three goals more than last year’s winner Mario Gomez, who found the net on 26 occasions.
Stevens admitted that Netherland’s manager Bert van Marwijk surely has a huge decision to make on which striker to play in the starting line-up. Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 has also been in scintillating form this season after scoring

carry on with his goalscoring form in the competition.
“One has scored many goals in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 - these are two countries where the football played is not bad. Klaas Jan is one of the best strikers in the world inside the penalty area,” he was quoted as saying
in an interview.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven boss claimed that he would have played both Van Persie and Huntelaar upfront if he was the Netherland’s manager. He stated that both players are in great form and it would be a pity of any one of them starts
on the bench.
“If I was the Dutch national team coach and I have a striker of Klaas Jan at my disposal I would not waste his skills. That goes for Van Persie too - I'd just play them together,” he concluded.
Netherlands have been drawn into one of the toughest groups in Euro 2012. They have the likes of Germany, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 alongside them and will play their first game against Denmark on June 9 at the Metalist in Kharkiv.
