Kuyt & Babel : Terima Panggilan Holland

Pemain kesebelasan utama Liverpool, Dirk Kuyt dan Ryan Babel telah dipanggil oleh jurulatih skuad kebangsaan Holland, Bert van Marwijk untuk perlawanan persahabatan antarabangsa menentang England pada bulan hadapan. Perlawanan persahabatan ini akan diadakan pada 12 Ogos depan bertempat di Amsterdam. Nampaknya kedua-dua pemain Liverpool terus diberi kepercayaan untuk mewakili Holland di peringkat antarabangsa. Cuma persoalannya, kenapa Babel dipanggil jika beliau dianggap kurang menyerlah di Liverpool? Mungkin pencaturan taktikal van Marwijk lebih sesuai untuk Babel berbanding dengan percaturan Rafa. Walauapapun, kita berharap Babel dapat beraksi dengan lebih baik pada musim baru nanti. Berikut adalah senarai kesebelasan 25 pemain utama Holland yang dipanggil oleh van Marwijk.
