| No, I think he played pretty much all season. But he only played in the Dutch competition, which is of course not comparable to the premiership or the champions league which Arsenal played in this year. Kuyt looked to be certain of his position until only a few weeks ago. He impressed Van Basten (the coach) at the training and he got a chance to prove himself against Cameroon, which he did.
At least it's good that they have two excellent players for that position this year. I remember how they struggled with van der Meyde, Overmars and Robben (better from the left) on that position in Euro 2004.
I just realised that as it looks now, the three attackers will be from the three biggest English teams. Robben (Chelsea), Van Nistelrooy (Man Utd) and Van Persie (Arsenal). |
