Camp Sneijder v Camp Van Persie

[goke313]

According to the well informed media, there were again two camps in the squad. Camp Sneijder (Robben, Vaart, De Jong, Huntelaar, Van der Wiel, Heitinga and the little big man) versus Camp Van Persie (Boulah, Afellay, Van Bommel, Van Persie himself). The Sneijder camp wanted all out Ajax-like attack. Van Persie wanted WC2010 style tactics. The result? Half the team played upfront, half the team pushed their behinds in their own box.

Thank God they've conveniently taken themselves out of the show with their tampon bags!

It was the fault of the coach. He could not make any tactical input.

Robben confirms unrest at Holland camp
June 19, 2012 by Agency Reporter 1 Comment
Holland winger Arjen Robben has hinted dressing-room unrest undermined their Euro 2012 challenge, which ended following a third successive defeat.

The Dutch went to Poland and Ukraine among the favourites to lift the trophy but failed to pick up a point in Group B, losing to Denmark, Germany and Portugal.

The future of coach Bert van Marwijk is now under scrutiny and his chances of staying in the role will not be helped by revelations of disharmony among the players.

Bayern Munich star Robben told Voetbal International, “Of course there were some internal issues but we will keep them indoors.

“But believe me we tried everything, it’s just not worked.”

While Dutch fans were quick to search for a scapegoat, Robben insisted it was a collective failure.

“The hunger in the team is there,” he added, “but we failed together. And I mean the technical staff, the players, the whole team.

“This is the harsh reality of the sporting world. We must all, therefore, look in the mirror.”

Captain Mark van Bommel, who was dropped for Sunday night’s clash with the Portuguese, admitted the atmosphere in the squad was different to that at the 2010 World Cup when Oranje made it to the final only to lose in extra-time to Spain.

The 35-year-old said: “I am captain and will always protect my players but the atmosphere was different than two years ago. Why that was I don’t know, I can only speak for myself, not the other guys.”

Things started brightly for Holland on a night when they had to win by two clear goals and hope Denmark lost to Germany as Rafael van der Vaart put them in front.

But Ronaldo netted a brace for Paulo Bento’s men, who joined the Germans in going through following their 2-1 defeat of Denmark.

Van der Vaart said: “I knew it would be difficult. We had to score two goals. We started off really well and scored one goal, but we knew we had to score another one, so we got nervous.

“After our first goal, Portugal began to play very well, and we didn’t. We all played badly; we all have to take a good, long look in the mirror. All we can say is that it’s sad for our supporters.

“We lost all confidence after losing the game against Denmark, and so today against Portugal we knew it could go wrong, and so it did. We have to start all over again.”

But this is not news.. The dutch teams seems to always have these sort of issues within their camps..

But I side with RVP's camp... . he wanted to use a winning/proven formula..

Anyway, good riddance.. Only good thing that has come out from the dutch Euro campaign is that chelsea is no longer looking the way of VDW.. Ajax should have sold the bobo summer of 2010 or 2011 while his stock was still very high..

van persie is a disgrace to football. imagine him trying to bring disrepute to holland by having them play shaite football. and to think some stewpeed little ones supported him shows how much depravity teams like chelsea and madrid have brought into the beautiful game.

The dutch have a history of this kind of problem, and the French also to a lesser extent.

[wale1974]

They need to disband that team, they have better young hungry players like Strootman,de Jong, Narsingh, Viergever, De Vrij, Bruma,Marcellis, Pieter, S De Jong, Anita,Emanuelson, Fer, Ola John, Wijnaldum,Maher,Clasie,Cabral, Wolfswinkel, drost, Boerringter and Lens ready to take over

[galoise]

De Jong was the only good thing in that Dutch team during this campaign! Dude played his heart out. Sneidjer was pretty awesome the 1st game... he probably gave up after that game lol

That's because Africans tell themselves that it's only them who have those sorts of problems.
