Mark van Bommel: "We have the best forward line in the world"

Tuesday 08 December 2009

Mark van Bommel sounded the praises of the Dutch national football team yesterday.

The Bayern Munich-midfielder and son-in-law of Holland boss Bert van Marwijk talks of 'world class football' during the qualification campaign and called Holland's forward line "The best in the world."

"Not even Brazil have such a forward line," he said.

According to Van Bommel the clear way in which the team play is one ofthe strong points of the team.

"You can put another player on any given position, but everyone knows what is expected of him on that specific position. Of course every player has his own qualities, but overall they will perform the tasks that come with the position they play in. I think we are very stable. In a few games we really played world class football."

Van Bommel admits that the team's biggest strengths are up front. "When everyone performs his task we have players up front who can decide any game. And the seven guys behind them must realize they are working for those for in front of them. When that works out well we have a world class team. I don't see any other country with so much quality up front, not even Brazil."

Van Bommel also paved the way for a return of Edwin van der Sar for the World Cup finals: "For me he is still the best goal keeper in the world at the moment. Do you know a better one?"
