Euro 2012: Stars to watch out for
Posted Friday, June 01, 2012 by ESPN
Group B
Robin van Persie, Netherlands (Arsenal)
The formerly injury-prone Van Persie showed the world what he is capable of when he finally managed to shake off his fitness worries this season; he managed to play in all 38 Premier League games for Arsenal and had an astonishing return of 30 goals, 9 assists and 10 shots that hit the woodwork.
Dangerous when leading the line and comfortable in dropping to the wings to create space in the middle, van Persie is a throwback to the versatile Total Football-esque style that the Oranje are famous for.
With quality team-mates like Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Arjen Robben alongside him, van Persie will be given more time and space to work with - a thought that can make the best defenders in the break out in a cold sweat.
