The former Dutch international and PSV Eindhoven legend has expressed confidence that the Oranje will go on to avenge their 2010 World Cup final loss against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and will become European champions.
Willy van de Kerkhof, the former Dutch international, has confidently stated that Netherlands will go on to win Euro 2012 while insisting that they will also avenge their 2010 World Cup final defeat at the hands of the Spain along
the way.
The Flying Dutchmen are one of the favourites to win the European Championship alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and the World Champions, Spain.
Although, the Oranje are pitted in the toughest group of the competition along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 and Die Mannschaft, Van de Kerkhof has expressed confidence that the Flying Dutchmen have the ability to make progression to
the quarter-finals.
The 60-year-old, who donned the jersey of Netherlands in 63 matches before hanging up his boots in 1986, is of the view that the Oranje have improved a lot since their 2010 World Cup final defeat at the hands of Spain.
“Oranje are a much better and more mature team than they were two years ago. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547, for example, has developed since the World Cup”, Van de Kerkhof was quoted as saying to nusport.nl.
The Dutchman went on to insist that the Oranje will beat the 2008 Euro winners.
“Until the final. I think the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 will meet Spain again and this time we will win”, Van de Kerkhof added.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joris-Mathijsen-c19242
at the centre of the defence.
“Wilfred Bouma should replace Mathijsen. He has the experience and played well in the warm-up matches. After him, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ron-Vlaar-c31697 is the best option”, Van de Kerkhof added.
The Dutch legend also insisted that Poland can stun many during this summer’s competition.
“Poland has a good team and could surprise the European Championship. The Greeks don’t have a strong team, certainly not compared to the team of 2004 which was crowned European champions”, Van de Kerkhof concluded.
