Manchester United striker Robin van Persie insists Holland are under pressure facing World Cup opponents Australia today. Louis van Gaal's side routed the defending champions in their World Cup opener, giving full value for a 5-1 victory as the Dutch tore their opponents apart.
But Van Persie argues: "Everybody is euphoric and happy in the Netherlands. We are dealing with people's expectations here, which had been low compared to other years.
"I actually think this worked to our advantage because nobody expected much from us. But after such a performance, the dynamics have naturally changed. However, as a country, we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. We have to stay realistic."
