The pressure is on the Netherlands to win both of their upcoming Wold Cup qualification
matches and to win them in style.
The Dutch host Andorra in Rotterdam on Friday before travelling to Romania the following
Tuesday.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar is expected to add to his goal tally in the matches.
The Schalke striker is confident that the team will live up to expectations.
"Yes, we do understand each other quite well, of course we have some new players and that's
good for the group. We have some years (together) and we have to try to qualify for the tournament.
We tare getting better as team and it's ok."
Holland have gelled so far, winning both of their World Cup qualifiers against Hungary
and Turkey respectively.
Robin Van Persie scored in the 2-0 win over Turkey and he fancies a few more on Friday.
"I think that we have to score a lot of goals against Andorra. That's our plan and later
(in the campaign) that could be important. In a group with Turkey and Romania we can
expect that they can score also lots of goals."
The Dutch lie second in the table on goal difference behind Romania, who they take on
at the National Arena in Bucharest on October 16th.
