Netherlands midfield General Mark van Bommel has declared that his side must “break” Spain’s midfield machine if they are to stand a chance in the World Cup final.
Wingers Dirk Kuyt and Arjen Robben has also followed suit and said that the team will defend from the front to get the job done.
Van Bommel said : “Spain play a spectacular game and it will be very difficult to combat them,”
“We will have to break their midfield and stop their playmakers from playing. That is our biggest mission because Xavi and Iniesta are great talents. They are the best of their type in the world. But we are ready for a big battle.”
The Bayern Munich man added : We will need to play our best match for two years to defeat Spain but, if we win this final, we will have deserved it. No one could deny that.”
