Van Persie eyes Dutch attacking quartet

The four players have agreed that this formation would give the Dutch the best chance of success at next month's World Cup.

"I heard their opinions and it pleases me that we appreciate each other's qualities," Van Persie told Reuters.

"It is a party to play with them. They all are good players who are creative and think offensive."

"Nothing negative about Kuyt, who is a good player and deserved his credit but this is my opinion," Van Persie added. "But finally it will be the decision of the coach."

"If we can work on giving everything for each other the whole tournament I believe we will be unstoppable," the 26-year-old Van Persie said.

"With these four players in one team we really will be unique and will have an excellent chance of success."

"I am not a player who needs much rhythm to be back" he said. "The most important thing is to be physically fit and with a clear mind.

"I compare it with a singer who didn't sing for years. He just has to practise a bit as he will not forget how to sing and I think that is the same with technical players like me."
