Van Nistelrooy: Van Persie & Huntelaar would be an interesting duo
13-Jun-2012 9:34:00 PM
The former Netherlands international has voiced his opinion that the strikers would complement each other, and feels Oranje can beat Germany despite rumours of infighting
Ruud van Nistelrooy believes that both Robin van Persie and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar should start for Netherlands as they prepare for Wednesday's Group B match against Germany.
There has been plenty of discussion about who should start up front for Oranje after the Arsenal attacker failed to find the net against Denmark.

But the former Dutch international feels there's no need to drop Van Persie as he could operate well with Huntelaar.
"They're two strikers with enormous qualities, and I definitely think they could play together. Huntelaar and Van Persie would be a very interesting duo," Van Nistelrooy stated to Voetbal International.
"However, I don't think Bert van Marwijk will change his formation [to accommodate both of them]."
Van Nistelrooy then looked ahead to the match versus Germany, and stressed that Oranje are not inferior to their opponents.
"There's a lot of pressure, but this is one of their games where they can show they're still serious contenders.
"I don't think Germany have more qualities than Oranje. It's a matter of changing a few details. There's no reason to fear them."
The match in Kharkiv kicks off at 20:45CET on Wednesday.
