It is pretty much a Arjan Robben vs Lionel Messi match as both players have played massive role for their respective teams to guide them in the semifinals. Robben is looking sharpe and unplayable at times, specialy on the counters where his pace looks so frightening. It will be interesting to see what Louis Van Gaal has in store to stop Lionel Messi who is not playing at his best but showed his quality in the games when it really mattered.
Holland are playing with 5-3-2 formation but it becomes 3-4-3 when the have the ball. Robben, Van Persie and Memphis Depay/Jermain Lens playing as the front three and Dirk Kuyt and Blind joing the midfield and forward line in attacks. Will Van Gaal change his strategy for this game ? Holland might miss Nigel De Jong who could provide extra protection to stop Messi.
