DUTCH FACE UP TO DIFFICULIES
Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt has said that the Dutch national team was looking at a different kind of start to the Euro 2012. The Dutch were coming into the Euro 2012 as one of the favourites to win the competition, but were in the same group alongside Germany, Portugal and Denmark.
Hence, they faced a tough competition in order to get to the quarter-finals of the competition. The Dutch, though, were in for a shock after they lost their opening game against Denmark 1-0. It was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Portugal, which has put them on the brink of elimination from the competition.
Speaking to I Love Liverpool ahead of the Portugal match, the former Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has said that he and his teammates did not see the competition going in such a bad manner. Despite having some of the best players in the world including the likes of Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben, the team has found it extremely hard to score goals and create chances. As a result, Dirk Kuyt has said that the team should focus more on creating more chances in the final group game against Cesc Fabregas‘s Spain. Netherlands still have a slim chance of making it into the quarter-finals.
“Everyone was very disappointed afterwards. We had a different start to this tournament in mind. We must now deliver a top performance against Portugal. If Germany do their job, then we can still progress to the next round. We got two good opportunities, but then their [Germany’s] first chance was an instant goal. We really had to continue in the same footing, but we couldn’t. We then went all out in our play, and Robin [van Persie] scored a beautiful goal. But they were dangerous on the counter. If we had been more compact, we could have helped each other more,” said Kuyt.

HAMBURG HINT AT KUYT MOVE
Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is probably heading towards Bundesliga side Hamburg after the Hamburg coach Thorsten Fink called him a ‘class’ footballer. In August 2006, Kuyt came to Liverpool for £9 million from Dutch club Feyenoord and he has another year in his contract with the English club, but rumors circulation that he may leave for Germany in the summer transfer window.
Thorsten Fink, who guided the Bundesliga club safely after a dreadful beginning of the league campaign, is a huge admirer of the Dutch international and he described the thirty-one year as a fighter. While speaking to Kicker, a German sports mag, he told that there is nothing extra requires to be told about the quality of Dirk Kuyt. Whether it is something they feel, they want to commit, they will see.
Fink’s statements follow the same sentiments from Frank Arnesen, club’s technical director, a few of weeks ago. While speaking to Bild, club official told that a footballer like Dirk Kuyt, who is in a nice shape till now, can include many thongs to any team. He is truly a team player with an attitude.
Previously, Dirk Kuyt’s agent denied the rumors of his transfer to Hamburg. His agent revealed that there have not been any negotiations with Arnesen or with anyone else from the German club.
On that occasion, though, Kuyt’s agent denied there had been any contact with the club. He cannot say the Dutch international would like to go to Bundesliga. Several clubs had some enquiries, but as of now, nothing is sure.

KUYT BACKS SUAREZ TO STAY
Liverpool winger Dirk Kuyt has said that striker Luis Suarez is extremely happy at the club, which has been marked by a return to form for the Uruguayan striker. Luis Suarez has been criticised in various quarters for the racial problem involving him and Manchester United defender Patrice Evra. He was subsequently found guilty of racial abuse against the French left back, and was banned for eight games. Since his return from the suspension, Luis Suarez has not always been the same player. He has found it difficult to find the back of the net on a consistent basis. However, after his impressive performance against Everton and the 11th goal of the season against Stoke city, Dirk Kuyt says that Luis Suarez is back to form.
This has been a difficult season for the Uruguayan, but he has now reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool after he appeared to suggest that he may move in the summer to new pastures. One of the top destinations being rumoured was French club PSG. Luis Suarez was openly admitted his admiration for the French club, who are currently managed by former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti. It is thought that they would be willing to bid around £ 35 million in the summer, but the recent run of form has made Luis Suarez confirm his commitment to the club.
“I speak a lot with Luis Suarez and he has always been happy with the club, with the supporters and with his team-mates. Everyone was standing behind him during a difficult period for him here. I never had the feeling that he wasn’t anything but happy at Liverpool. He had a very difficult time with what happened to him but he has put all that right behind him,” Kuyt said ahead of the match with QPR on Wednesday night.
