and have you seen his body he is fit as hell he aint no arshavin so rvp can play regulary without any problems.
43+3 apps thats not even close to what players like özil, ronaldo, (48 and 53 games)why arent they burnt out then?
you act like vanpersie has ever been good at an international tournament for gods sake 2010 he had 16 shots only 6 on target and 1 goal and he played 600 minutes (599 actually) that means each 37.5 minutes he shoots the ball and only approx once a game he hits the target. thats f***ing horrible for a so called worldclass striker. he also had less passes then suarez,cavani,forlan only 32 more passes then rooney even though he played 3 more games, and also 153 less passes then messi.
he has never showed up like he does for us for holland so it's not cause he is burnt out.
we dont even play a style of football that is hard on your body we don't even try to pressure teams when they have the ball like barcelona does , we dont make incisive runs all the time.
he has never had any fitness problems so why now? you are just assuming that he is burnt out you dont know that so stop saying it is so. 46 games over 10 months thats 4,6 games over 30 days a month, stop acting like he played 10 games a month and hardly managed playing at the end
Ozil and ronaldo have never had the sustained injury problems rvp has so comparing them is pointless fitnes wise. Also, rvp played pants but half of it was because of the attackers around him. He's not the focal point for holland he is for us, so he's always going to get more opportunities with us than with the national team.
Plus, holland as a team are always in turmoil, it kicks off every tournament. Robbed told van mareijk to shut up during the last game ffs, how is rvp going to perform with dickheads like that supplying him?
I'm just hoping that this might be a stark reminder that you may be able to play for another team with more talented players, but the grass still might not be greener on the other side.
