ROBIN VAN PERSIE HAPPY WITH IMPROVEMENTS

The Ex-Arsenal striker, who once won the Premier League Golden Boot, was recently frustrated with his role at Turkish giants Fenerbahce SK. He says he is currently happy with the improvements. The 32-year old Dutch striker, who put 30 goals past the goal keeper whilst in the Premier league, has struggled with expectations since reaching Turkey.

The Netherland International, who matched Thierry Henry’s 30 goals in one season record in the 2011/2012 season at Arsenal, has completed full 90 minutes just four times for Fenerbahce.

The talented forward who played for Arsenal since joining in 2004 till he left for EPL rival, Manchester United in August 2012, voiced his frustration as he continues to struggle to meet set standards at the club.

“Fenerbahce paid a big transfer fee for me so I want to help the team, but I cannot contribute as much as I want when I am taken off each game. I cannot be efficient like this. We have to find a solution for this situation,” the striker cried.

He has played 40 matches in all competitions this season for the club scoring 15 goals. In the Turkish Super Lig, he has only started 14 matches out of 25 total appearances this season. He has scored 10 goals in the super Lig with the last coming in the match against Kayserispor. The match which was played before the international break ended in a lone goal Van Persie scored in the first half.

Van Persie persisted in his complains for a more favorable environment to Coach Vitor Pereira. The player is happy with recent improvements that have seen him score five goals in last 12 matches.

He bitterly complained of the lack of faith shown in him and was desperate to get more playing time so he could contribute more. With the improvement in the past few games, the Arsenal Legend says he is happy.
