Style of play: Coach Bert van Marwijk is a staunch advocate of the 4-5-1 formation and has specific roles for every player in the system. Central midfielders Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong sit in front of the back four and act as a defensive filter while trying to strip the ball from the other team. Wesley Sneijder (or Rafael van der Vaart) operates as the chief playmaker further up the field and will either make use of his powerful shot from distance, or use his impeccable distribution skills to get the ball to the feet of wingers Arjen Robben and Eljero Elia, or striker Robin van Persie. Robben and Elia will use their speed down the flanks before cutting in toward the penalty area. Van Persi can also play on the wing, which would mean Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, a more traditional striker, will lead the line.
