Still without Arjen Robben, the Dutch have a hard time bringing their creative men into action. Robin van Persie now experiences what so many Oranje strikers have suffered before, as he was mostly ignored by the midfield. He also found it difficult to create space for himself between the troupes of defenders that have cluttered around him in these two group games.
As a result Van Persie began to drop back, hindering Sneijder and Van der Vaart in the process. With the lack of depth on both wings it is difficult for any striker to make a mark in the Dutch team. Behind him, the midfielders were unable to make their moves either as they were well marshalled by the Japanese opposition; the build-up could hardly reach the creative players.

In order to break down the Brazilians, maybe Van Persie should learn a lesson from Cruyff. In the early seventies, Cruyff drifted away from the striker position at Ajax to avoid being kicked by central defenders. The goals were then made by anyone who surged into the box, supplied by perfect Cruyff assists.
The AS Roma of Luciano Spalletti employed similar tactics very successfully a few years ago with Francesco Totti, masquerading as a striker, but mainly playing from midfield. Spalletti confessed to have copied it from Cruyff's Ajax.
"Fast, free-flowing attacks in which offensive side midfielders make darting runs past the lone striker in possession outside the box, amid quick interchanges of accurate passes. When it works well, players swap roles and position with beautiful fluidity. It makes them unpredictable and disorientates defenders," Spaletti told Champions Magazine in an interview in May 2008. You can imagine Van Persie doing the same.
Dirk Kuyt and Arjen Robben may be the perfect players to move into the space he leaves behind, but the fluidity will rely on Van Persie and Sneijder burying their differences. If they manage to make their partnership work, there might be a surprise in store. Although it may not be pretty.
