Passionate Battlefield, Holland Flying Wings Soaring
Van Persie's National Team Years
In the 2006 World Cup, Van Persie was integrated into the Dutch national team with lightning speed, and he locked in the right wing as a starter before the final week with an outstanding performance. Four games, a goal, and Robben, Van Nistelrooy hand in hand, constructed an impregnable front line. However, with the loss of Portugal in the round of sixteen, Van Persie also had no chance of winning the major World Cup awards.
In the 2010 World Cup, Van Persie's overall performance was mediocre, although he contributed a goal in the third game of the group stage. However, he has become the core player in Van Basten's mind. After the World Cup, he played as a center forward, a ball to fame, leading the team to win consecutive games, Van Basten also repeatedly publicly praised the left-footed will.
Van Gaal returned to the helm after three consecutive defeats in the group stage of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, and 10 months later, Robin van Persie was named captain.
At the 2014 World Cup, on June 13, in the first round of the Group B sub-group match against Spain, Robin van Persie set the record for the furthest header goal in a World Cup since 1970 with a stunning 17-pole header, causing Spanish goalkeeper Casillas to momentarily lose his concentration.
On July 10, 2014, the World Cup quarterfinals battle between the Netherlands and Argentina was a 120-minute thriller with no result and a penalty shootout, which Argentina won 4-2, and the Netherlands went into the third-place game.
On July 13, 2014, in the World Cup third-place game, Robin van Persie scored a penalty in the opening three minutes of the game as the Netherlands swept Brazil 3-0 to win the third-place game.
