of injuries"

You’ll win no prizes for guessing
Robin van Persie’s aim for the coming season —
fewer injuries.
The 24-year-old admits he has missed
far too many games over the past two terms but sees
the coming campaign as “a new season with new chances”.
He is buoyed by his own scoring record during that time,
22 goals in 45 starts, and simply hopes for more opportunities
to continue in the same vein.
“Last year I missed too many
games and I am still disappointed about it,” said
the Dutchman. “But that is life. That is football
and things can happen. I accepted it.
“This is a new year with new
chances. Hopefully I can be injury-free this year. Last
year I played 16 games and scored seven goals —
that is nearly one out of two. It is not too bad.
“I just want to have the same
results this season with a few more matches.”
