Hadi Sok ngomongin anak jaman sekarang part 1
Hadi sok ngomongin anak jaman
sekarang!!!
Anak
muda jaman sekarang menurut ane semakin gaul semakin aneh mereka suka curhat di
facebook atau akun twiternya kalo sama temennya gitu nggak apa, sama orang lain
ditengah malem lagi. Jadi jaman sekarang untuk melihat jati diri seseorang
cukup melihat status facebook atau twiternya kalo suka mengeluh pasti statusnya
kayak gini “hufh, bete’, ngantuks”, semakin gaul semakin gag bisa di baca
tulisannya, pengalaman pernah dulu waktu awal – awal semester kuliah dulu
pernah sms-an sama anak SMA, karena Ane bukan anak yang gaul jadi waktu sempet
kaget soalnya ngetik aku istilahnya sudah ganti “Q”. jadi waktu itu dia sms
gini :
Dia : Mas q dhx mx kok
belum d bls ?
Ane pusing ngeliatnya
nih di bacanya gimana, ahirnya Tanya ke temen ternyata maksudnya ‘mas aku sudah
sms kok belum di bales’ . Ahirnya supaya keliatan gaul juga Ane bales gini :
Muphh
q lagi boboks!!! (maaf itu kan muph ya! ).
Jadi anak jaman
sekarang tuh kita bisa tau tipenya cukup dilihat dari profil atau namanya di
jejaring social contoh orang yang hobi marketing statusnya pasti di awali ‘di
jual’ jadi misalnya,Contoh statusnya orang yang hobi marketing : Dijual mobil bekas , bekas kelindes truk.
Begitu juga orang yang
suka merayu bisa dilihat status facebooknya pasti gini statusnya, Dik bapak
kamu apalah biasanya menyebutkan profesi seseorang contohnya ane pernah baca ada cowok buat status :
Cowok : Dik bapak kamu
seorang pilot ya ?
Cewek : Kok tahu mas ?
(Dijawab sendiri sama si cowok)
Cowok : Karena kamu
telah menerbangkan hatiku.
Dan status tersebut
menginspirasi Ane buat merayu seorang cewek, jadi gini waktu itu ceritanya
setelah ngeliat status gombal gitu langsung ane praktekan buat sms-an sama si
loli begini waktu sms-an nya :
Ane : Dik bapak kamu
polisi ya ?
Loli : Kok tau mas.
Ane : Karena kamu telah
memenjarakan hatiku.
Terus gantian dia yang
tanya.
Loli : Mas bapak kamu
seorang pekerja bengkel ya ?
Ane : Kok Tau dik ?
Loli : Iya wajah mas
kayak knalpot.
Nggak kehabisan akal Ane
bales lagi.
Ane : Bapak kamu
seorang guru ya?
Loli : Kok tau mas.
Ane : Iya kamu telah
mengajariku mengenal cinta.
Di bales lagi.
Loli : Bapak mas seorang
penjual tas kantong plastik ya ?
Ane : Kok tahu dik.
Loli : Iya kalo liat
mas rasanya pingin muntah.
Ane : *Ambil pisau
bunuh diri*
Ane langsung mikir
payah banget ya Ane, semenjak itu ane jadi mikir jomblo – jomblo jaman sekarang
itu payah ! (Ane juga), makanya sekarang banyak sekali jomblo ! (ane juga). Ane
selaku jomblo demokrat merasa prihatin sama gombalan anak muda jaman sekarang.
Sebenarnya gombalan yang nanyain profesi bapaknya, ternyata itu gombalan lama,
orde lama itu ya. Kadang mereka nggak mikir gitu misalnya kejadian kayak gini
ada cowok gombal yang nanya:
Cowok : Dik bapak kamu
polisi ya ?
Cewek : Bang ane anak
yatim.(-__-)
Nah loh!, gimana
perasaan kalian kalo yang kalian gombal anak yatim, dan karena sering mendengar
gombalan kayak gitu cewek – cewek jaman sekarang jadi ketagihan gombal jadi
setiap ditanya apa jawabnya pasti ‘kok tau’ itu ciri cewek yang ketagihan
gombal, pernah gitu ane jebak cewek gini,
Ane : Dik bapak kamu
maling ya ?
Cewek : Kok tahu bang.
Langsung ane teriak
‘Woiiii anak maling’, *ane gebukin di tempat*. Jadi buat para cewek jangan mau
di gombal dengan gombal murahan kayak gitu ya! Kalian para cewek harus punya
martabat ya! Dan kita para cowok hancurkan martabat mereka ya!
Oke kita kembali ke
status facebook dan twiternya anak jaman sekarang ya, Beberapa waktu lalu ane
sempat menjumpai statusnya anak muda jaman sekarang ya mereka tuh sebenernya
orang biasa tapi nulis statusnya ala ‘seleb’ contohnya gini, contoh makan
diwarung pinggir jalan yang bertembokan spanduk gitu ya tapi nulis statusnya gini ‘ Saatnya pergi ke
café’, itu biar kelihatan seleb, Dengerin campur sari gitu statusnya gini ‘Lagi
dugem nih’, satu lagi foto buat E-KTP statusnya kayak gini ‘Saatnya sesi
pemotretan’, kalo sesi pemotretan itu
jepret jepret jepret, lah wong ini cuma sekali jepret kok statusnya sesi
pemotretan. Belum lagi kalo lagi di potret gayanya ada yang lidahnya menjulur
keluar atau kata orang jawa melet kadang lidahnya kekanan kadang kekiri mungkin
di inspirasi oleh komodo ya, yang terahir di pembahasan seputar anak muda yaitu
ketika memegang HP, jadi kalo anak muda jaman
sekarang memegang HP terus dijauhkan itu berarti dia mau foto, sedangkan orang
tua memegang HP terus dijauhkan berarti enggak bisa dengan jelas baca sms
sambil ngomong ‘iki opo yo tulisane ora ketok’ (ini apa ya tulisannya kok nggak
jelas).
Pesan Moral: Jadilah
anak muda yang bisa membanggakan orang tua, jangan terjerumus pada nafsu semata
berfikirlah dengan rasional sebelum melakukan suatu tindakan, karena anda
diberi mata 2 dan 1 mulut agar kita bisa melihat dua kali sebelum berbicara
sekali, begitu juga 2 telinga kita dan 1 mulut agar kita bisa mendengar dua
kali sebelum bicara sekali. Karena itu jangan mau dipermainkan oleh jaman
karena sesungguhnya dunia ini penuh tipu daya setan. Oke itu sekilas tentang
anak muda jaman sekarang dari sudut pandang ane.
Bahasan diatas juga

Introduce myself
Who is Hadi ???
Siapa sih orang yang
nggak bisa mengenalkan dirinya? Saya yakin ente semua pasti bisa. Tapi apakah
ente tahu cara mengenalkan diri yang baik sehingga menghasilkan tanggapan baik.
Disimak ya,
Nama saya Hadi Fadli anak pertama dan satu - satunya dari 4 bersaudara, moto hidup saya yaitu saling berbagi karena semakin banyak kita memberi maka semakin banyak kita menerima tapi salah yang benar semakin banyak kita memberi semakin banyak kita mengeluarkan. Saya bertempat tinggal di Malang tepatnya di Jalan Apa aja boleh nomer 25 (kalo gag salah!!) . Hobi saya lumayan banyak tergantung mood :
·
Berkebun (dulu
cita2 jadi Pak Kebun teladan soalnya dulu lihat pak kebun keren ternyata enggak
)
·
Membaca (Membaca takdir )
·
Nonton bola (bila
yang main Juventus)
·
Solat 5 Waktu
(waktu inget, waktu sakit, waktu mau ujian, waktu di kantor polisi, terahir
waktu ngaca)
Pengen jadi orang yang lebih baik dan nggak
mau ngecewain orang. kecuali kepepet *gubrak*. Suka makan tahu telor,Apalagi
yang gratis. Gemar nonton yang lucu daripada nonton sinetron apalagi nonton berita
debat anggota dewan yang sering ribut karena masalah pemilihan pemimpin katanya
Negara kita Negara beragama percaya sama
tuhan tapi dalam menentukan pemimpin harus pakai voting, nanti kalo ada yang
kalah yang menang dibilang money politik, harusnya kalo percaya sama tuhan para
calon di kumpulkan terus di suruh gambreng biar tuhan yang menentukan siapa
yang pantas. Nah dari situ bagaimana Negara bisa maju kalo para anggota
dewannya sering ribut. Itu ya sedikit
tentang saya pada blog saya berikutnnya masih akan di bahas mengenai macam –
macam realita kehidupan secara kocak.

Kisah Lelaki Sejati
Underground Tauhid – Fenomena zaman sekarang, lekat sekali dengan pemuda yang trendy, bergaya maco, bahkan tak sungkan untuk membanggakan tabiat-tabiat mereka yang sudah berkiblat pada barat. Dalam pergaulannya pun sudah begitu berlebihan, gaya liberal yang menuntut pada kebebasan berekspresi, ternyata sampai pada kebebasan berpasang-pasangan sebelum nikah. Banyak pula kelompok-kelompok pemuda yang membentuk geng, supporter bola yang anarkis, tawuran di mana-mana, dari kota hingga berbagai daerah di penjuru negeri ini. Kebanyakan Pemuda saat ini sudah kehilangan segala-galanya; baik Identitas, Kapasitas, Integritas, maupun Kapabilitas. Alih-alih menjadi Bagian dari solusi malah ternyata menjadi bagian dari masalah!Karakter Pemuda Sejati Calon Pemimpin Bangsa
Lalu di manakah posisi kita sebagai pemuda? Dan bagaimanakan karakter pemuda yang seharusnya kita miliki untuk bangkitnya peradaban Islam dan bangsa ini? Mari kita lihat kisah nyata, yang benar-benar terjadi di atas muka bumi 1400 tahun yang lalu.
Kisah nyata yang begitu sempurna ini, menjadi masyur dan diabadikan dengan tinta emas oleh banyak sejarawan dalam buku-buku mereka. Sebuah kisah nyata tentang lelaki-lelaki sejati di masa Umar bin Khattab ra.
Dimasa Kekhalifahan Umar bin Khattab, ada seorang pemuda yang mengarungi padang pasir untuk menunaikan umrah di Tanah Suci. Pemuda itu tiba di sebuah oasis di pinggir sebuah permukiman penduduk. Ia berhenti dan istirahat. Karena kelelahan pemuda itu tertidur. Ketika pemuda itu tidur, tali pengikat untanya lepas. Dan unta itu, tanpa sepengetahuan pemuda berjalan mencari makan, karena kelaparan.
Unta itu masuk kesebuah kebun yang subur tak jauh dari tempat itu. Penjaga kebun itu adalah seorang kakek. Unta itu tak ayal lagi. Karena kelaparan, memakan dan merusak tanaman kebun itu. Sang kakek berusaha mengusir unta itu. Tapi sang unta itu tidak mau beranjak dari tempatnya. Karena panik dan takut dimarahi tuannya, sang kakek memukul unta itu.Dan atas kehendak Allah, unta itu mati.
Sang kakek semakin panik dan cemas, apalagi pemuda pemilik unta itu terbangun dan mendapati untanya telah mati. Karena tidak ada orang lain selain kakek itu di dekat bangkai unta, pemuda itu berprasangka bahwa kakek tua itulah yang membunuh untanya.
Dan kakek itu mengakuinya setelah sang pemuda mengintrogasinya. Seketika itu sang pemuda marah besar dan gelap mata. Ia memukul kakek itu dengan pemukul yang digunakan untuk memukuli untanya. Dan kakek itu tewas.
Pemuda itu sangat panik dan menyesal ketika mengetahui kekhilafannya. Ia tidak berniat membunuh kakek itu, hanya marah besar. Tiba-tiba datanglah dua pemuda yang tak lain anak sikakek. Mereka terkejut melihat ayahnya mati dan di tempat itu hanya ada sipemuda. Akhirnya tahulah kedua anak kakek itu, bahwa ayahnya dibunuh oleh sipemuda itu.
Mereka lalu menangkap si pemuda dan menyeretnya ke hadapan Umar bin Khattab untuk diadili. Sang pemuda mengakui perbuatannya dan Umar pun menjatuhi hukuman mati (Qishash) untuk pemuda itu. Namun, sang pemuda minta penangguhan eksekusi hukuman, karena ia harus memberi tahu keluarganya dan menyelesaikan utangnya yang belum tuntas di kampungnya. Umar pun bersedia mengabulkan permintaaan pemuda itu dengan syarat ada yang bersedia menjadi penjamin pemuda itu.
Pemuda itu cemas dan bingung. Siapa yang mau jadi penjaminnya..? Ia tidak punya kenalan dan kerabat di daerah itu. Bagaimana mungkin akan ada orang yang bersedia mempertaruhkan nyawanya untuk menjadi penjaminnya.
Tiba-tiba ada orang lelaki maju dan berkata kepada Umar, “Wahai Amirul Mu’minin, saya bersedia menjamin pemuda ini”. Umar kaget, Ia menatap tajam lelaki itu yang tak lain adalah Abu Dzar Al Ghiffari ra. Umar berkata dengan nada serius, “Abu Dzar, sadarkah kamu dengan resiko kesediaanmu menjadi penjamin pemuda ini..?”. Dengan tegas Abu Dzar menjawab, “Ya saya sadar. Saya siap menanggung resikonya”. Umar lalu berkata kepada pemuda itu,”Hai anak muda kau telah memiliki penjamin. Sekarang Pulanglah. Selesaikan urusanmu dan segera kembalilah kesini untuk
mempertanggung jawabkan perbuatanmu.”
Pada hari yang telah ditentukan, masyarakat sudah berkumpul di lokasi pelaksanaan eksekusi hukuman Qishash, Abu Dzar. Hari semakin panas, siang semakin terik, dan pemuda itu belum juga ada tanda-tand datang. Ketika hari memasuki sore, dan pemuda itu belum juga datang. Masyarakat riuh membicarakan kebodohan Abu Dzar yang bersedia menjadi penjamin orang asing yang tidak dikenal. Masyarakat juga cemas, jika sampai matahari tenggelam dan pemuda itu belum juga datang, maka Abu Dzar harus menggantikan pemuda itu untuk dipancung. Namun, Abu Dzar tetap tenang. Dengan rasa tawakal yang tinggi kepada Allah ia menunggu detik-detik matahari semakin dekat keperaduannya. Dan matahari tenggelam, pemuda itu belum datang. Maka eksekusi harus dijalankan. Dengan tenang Abu Dzar maju ke tempat eksekusi. Algojo disiapkan. Banyak yang menangis melihat Abu Dzar siap dihukum mati untuk dosa yang tidak dilakukannya.
Dan, ketika algojo sudah mengangkat tangannya dengan pedang terhunus siap ditebaskan ke leher Abu Dzar, seorang penduduk berteriak. Ia melihat di kejahuan ada bayangan dan kepulan debu. Ada yang datang. Ia meminta ditunggu sebentar sampai jelas siapa yang datang. Semua menoleh kebayangan itu termasuk Umar bin Khatab ra. Umar minta agar yang datang ditunggu dulu.
Bayangan itu semakin dekat. Dan ternyata yang datang adalah pemuda itu untuk memenuhi tanggung jawabnya. Semua orang berdecak takjub dan haru. Bisa saja pemuda itu melarikan diri dari hukuman mati. Tapi ia tetap datang. Dengan napas terengah-engah pemuda itu minta maaf atas keterlambatannya karena ada halangan di jalan. Karena kagum pada kejujuran pemuda itu, Umar bertanya, “Wahai pemuda, aku kagum padamu. Kenapa engkau memilih datang padahal kau bisa saja lari dari hukuman mati..?”. Pemuda itu menjawab, “Wahai amirul Mu’min, alasanya sederhana saja. AKu tidak mau ada yang mengatakan bahwa tidak ada lagi lelaki-lelaki sejati di kalangan umat muslim yang dengan ksatria berani mempertanggung jawabkan perbuatannya. Ia juga bagaimana
mungkin saya tega membiarkan orang lain tidak bersalah yang rela menjadi penjaminku mati karena perbuatanku”.
Lalu umar menoleh kepada Abu Dzar dan bertanya, “Dan kamu Abu Dzar, apa yang membuatmu yakin untuk menjadi penjamin pemuda asing ini dan kamu siap menggantikan dirinya untuk dihukum mati jika dia tidak datang..?”. Abu Dzar menjawab, “Aku melakukan ini agar tidak ada yang mengatakan bahwa tidak ada lelaki sejati di kalangan umat Islam yang bersedia menolong saudaranya yang membutuhkan pertolongan. Aku tidak merasa rugi di hadapan Allah. Kalau pemuda itu tidak datang dan aku harus mati menggantikannya, kematianku syahid di jalan Allah, karena aku memang tidak bersalah”. Umar bin Khatab ra diliputi rasa kagum dan haru. Dia lalu memutuskan untuk segera mengeksekusi pemuda itu sebelum waktu salat mahgrib habis. Tiba-tiba ada yang berteriak, “Tunggu wahai Amirul Mu’min, bolehkan kami minta agar pemuda ini dibebaskan dari hukuman mati..?”, yang berteriak itu adalah dua pemuda anak kakek yang tebunuh itu. Umar menjawab, “Apa yang membuat kalian minta pembatalan hukuman ini..?”. Mereka menjawab, “Sungguh kami kagum dengan dua lelaki sejati ini izinkan kami memafkan pemuda yang saleh, yang jujur ini. Kami tidak ingin ada yang mengatakan bahwa di kalangan umat Islam tiada lelaki sejati yang memaafkan kesalahan. Bukankah Al-Quran membolehkan bagi ahli waris untuk memberi maaf dan membatalkan Qishash pada seorang yang melakukan pembunuhan..? Kami rasa pemuda saleh ini pantas untuk kami maafkan”.
Seketika gemuruh takbir dan tahmid berkumandang. Seluruh masyarakat yang menyaksikan peristiwa itu takjub dengan mata berkaca-kaca. Mereka terharu menyaksikan tingginya ahlak dalam jiwa lelaki-lelaki sejati yang berjiwa ksatria itu…
“Kamu adalah umat yang terbaik yang dilahirkan untuk manusia, menyuruh kepada yang ma’ruf, dan mencegah dari yang munkar, dan beriman kepada Allah.” (QS. Ali Imron: 110).
“Dan tolong-menolonglah kamu dalam (mengerjakan) kebajikan dan takwa, dan jangan tolong-menolong dalam berbuat dosa dan melampaui batas.” (QS. Al Maidah: 2)
Benar adanya, bahwa dengan Islam, maka kita akan menjadi umat terbaik sepanjang masa. Setiap kali teringat kisah nyata ini, saya sering bertanya-tanya, masih adakah lelaki-lelaki sejati berjiwa ksatria di negeri ini..? Semoga masih ada dan berdoa serta berusaha agar kita termasuk pemuda yang berkarakter seperti kisah pemuda-pemuda di atas. Aamiin.
“Dan suruhlah (manusia) mengerjakan yang baik dan cegahlah (mereka) dari perbuatan yang mungkar dan bersabarlah terhadap apa yang menimpa kamu. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu termasuk hal-hal yang diwajibkan (oleh Allah).” (QS. Luqman: 17)

Persie From zero to be hero
Robin van Persie (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɔbɪn vɑn ˈpɛrsi] ( listen); born 6 August 1983) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a striker for Manchester United and the Dutch national team. He is a youth product of Feyenoord.[3] Having joined Arsenal in 2004, Van Persie became the club captain on 16 August 2011.[4] His playing style and ability have drawn comparison to Dutch legend Marco van Basten.[5][6]
The son of two artists, Van Persie was encouraged to follow in his parents' footsteps,[7] but he instead preferred football and joined SBV Excelsior's youth squad. He made his breakthrough at another hometown club Feyenoord, where he spent three seasons and won the 2002 UEFA Cup.[8] He was named the Dutch Football Talent of the Year for the 2001–02 season. Disagreements with manager Bert van Marwijk culminated in a change of club and Van Persie moved to Premier League side Arsenal for £2.75 million in 2004 as a long-term replacement for Dennis Bergkamp.[9][10] He won the FA Community Shield and the FA Cup in his first season with the London club and went on to win the 2006 Rotterdam Sportsman of the year award.[11] Van Persie has been named Premier League Player of the Month three times.[12] Van Persie topped the goal assists leader board with 11 assists in the 2008–09 Premier League.[13]
Van Persie was a Dutch youth international, having represented the Netherlands under-17, under-19 and under-21 sides. He made his senior international debut in 2005 in a friendly match against Romania. One month later, he netted his first senior international goal in a 4–0 win over Finland. Van Persie has 70 caps so far and has scored 30 goals for the Netherlands.[14][15] He represented his country in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 2012.
Club career
Feyenoord
Van Persie joined Dutch side SBV Excelsior's youth squad at the age of 14 years, but left at the age of 15, due to the relationship with the coach and his mother, and thus signed for Feyenoord.[16] He was quickly promoted into the first team due to injury problems among the squad, and made his debut for the club at 17, which was the first of 15 total starts. He received the KNVB Best Young Talent award at the end of the 2001–02 season. He signed a professional three-and-a-half year contract with Feyenoord in the following season, and scored five goals in a 6–1 Amstel Cup thrashing of AGOVV Apeldoorn on 6 February 2003. However, clashes with his manager Bert van Marwijk saw Van Persie demoted to the reserve squad, and an irate van Marwijk told reporters, "His behaviour made it impossible for him to remain in the squad any longer so he will join the reserve side for the time being."[17] During a match featuring the Feyenoord and Ajax reserves, he was one of several Feyenoord players assaulted by hooligans who had invaded the pitch.[16] Van Persie's rift with van Marwijk continued when he was sent home on the eve of the 2002 UEFA Super Cup final against Real Madrid after the coach was displeased with Van Persie's body language after being asked to warm up for a Champions League qualifier.[18] Van Persie finished his tumultuous debut season on the first team, making a total of 28 appearances and scoring eight goals, in addition to finishing runner-up in the KNVB Cup.
Manchester United
"I always listen to the little boy inside of me in these situations – when you have to make the harder decisions in life. What does he want? That boy was screaming for Man United.
"From my side, and Arsenal as well, there are no hard feelings. There were certain elements which were vital to me that we had a different view. That is life. Nobody is angry at me and I'm not angry at them."[75]
Robin van Persie, in regards to his transfer to Manchester United
On 15 August 2012, Arsenal announced they had agreed terms with Manchester United for his transfer, but Van Persie had yet to agree personal terms with the club.[76] On 17 August, Van Persie transferred to Manchester United for an initial £24 million, signing a four-year contract.[77] He made his debut on 20 August, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Danny Welbeck in a 1–0 loss to Everton.[78] Five days later, with his first shot for the club,[79] he scored his first Manchester United goal, United's first in a 3–2 victory over Fulham.[80] On 2 September 2012, he scored his first hat-trick for United in another 3–2 victory over Southampton, helping pull United back from a 2–1 deficit; his third goal was his 100th in the Premier League.[81] Van Persie netted a late penalty on 23 September to give United a 2-1 away win at Anfield against Liverpool. Van Persie opened his European account with the club, scoring a brace in the 2–1 away win against CFR Cluj, with both goals assisted by Wayne Rooney.
International career
Van Persie (right) and Ruud van Nistelrooy training with the Netherlands
Van Persie was a U-21 international and took part in the 2004 and 2006 European Championship qualifying. Van Persie was used in a wider role as a left wing due to the preference of the experienced Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the striker role.[82] The Jong Oranje failed to qualify for the 2004 tournament and Van Persie did not participate in the latter as he was already in the senior squad for the FIFA World Cup. He earned his first caps for the Netherlands in less than the span of a week, first in a 2–0 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Romania on 4 June 2005,[83][84] and in another qualifier four days later against Finland, which saw him pick up his first international goal in a 4–0 victory.[85]
2006 FIFA World Cup
Despite not being a regular starter for Arsenal, Van Persie was part of coach Marco van Basten's roster for the 2006 World Cup finals. He played in all four of the Netherlands' matches and scored his only goal in the group stage against Côte d'Ivoire via a free kick as Oranje were eliminated in the Round of 16.[86][87]
UEFA Euro 2008
Van Persie scored a team-best four UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying goals,[88][89] and was deployed as a winger behind lone striker Ruud van Nistelrooy during the tournament after van Basten decided to change to a 4–2–3–1 formation. As Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart were preferred in the midfield, Van Persie was left to battle with Arjen Robben for the remaining spot on the wing. On 13 June, he scored as a 55th-minute substitute in a 4–1 Group C victory over 2006 World Cup finalists France, and started the next match against Romania, scoring off a pass from Demy de Zeeuw with an excellent volley into the back of the net. He finished with two goals as the Netherlands finished atop their group but again suffered a first knock-out round, second stage elimination.
Post-Euro 2008
Van Persie scored in the friendlies played against Russia and Sweden, and also scored a header in a World Cup qualifying match against Scotland, which stirred debate whether he should be taking corners or receiving them. He was injured during that match and was substituted early in the second-half.
2010 FIFA World Cup
Van Persie (right) with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Van Persie was included in the preliminary squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[90] On 27 May 2010, Netherlands manager Bert van Marwijk announced that he was in the final squad of 23 participating in the competition.[91] Van Persie was in the starting line-up for their first match in the competition, a 2–0 victory over Denmark.[92] On 24 June, he scored the first goal against Cameroon in a 2–1 win to ensure that the Netherlands finished as group winners, and was officially named the man of the match.[93] He started every match for the Oranje, though he did not increase his goal tally following the match. However The Oranje reached the 2010 World Cup Final, in which he was on the losing side due to Andrés Iniesta's extra time goal.
UEFA Euro 2012
On 2 September 2011, Van Persie scored four goals in a record breaking 11–0 victory over San Marino. He entered the Dutch national team top 10 all-time topscorer ranking with a tally of 25 goals, dislodging Marco van Basten in the process.[94] Van Persie had not scored four goals in a single match for a long while.[95]
On 13 June 2012, Van Persie scored the Dutch goal in a 2–1 loss to Germany in the European Championship group stage. Having missed two earlier chances, Van Persie picked up the ball near the halfway line, turned and ran at the German defence, before firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.[96]
Personal life
Van Persie was born in a multi-ethnic area of Rotterdam to an artistic family. José Ras, his mother, is a painter and jewellery designer who also teaches special needs children.[97] Bob, his father, is a sculptor. After Van Persie's parents divorced he was brought up by his father. At school, Van Persie was one of the most misbehaved children and was excluded from class almost daily.[97] After joining Arsenal in England, Van Persie settled in Hampstead, an affluent suburb of north London. Van Persie is married to Bouchra and the couple has two children: a son named Shaqueel and daughter Dina.
In June 2005, while in Rotterdam with the Dutch national team for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, Van Persie was arrested on suspicion of rape by Dutch police.[98] Sandra Krijgsman, a former Miss Nigeria Holland winner, claimed that she was attacked by Van Persie in a hotel.[99] He was held for fourteen nights in prison while the police investigated the allegations made against him[100] but was then released without charge, though he was still under suspicion.[101] In February 2006, the case against Van Persie was dismissed by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service after they completed their investigations stating that no sexual contact with coercion happened, with Van Persie's accuser later admitting she had made up the story to gain publicity.[102][103] Van Persie admitted being unfaithful by having sex with Krijgsman, but he was forgiven by his wife, Bouchra Elbali.[104] Van Persie spoke of his ordeal several months later, saying how degrading the experience was and how he was treated like a criminal despite his innocence. He revealed that conditions in the prison were so hot that they caused him to lose consciousness. It also emerged that more than 200 Rotterdam police officers had attempted to view his case files, with the vast majority of them unauthorised to do so.[7][105]
Van Persie is a Twitter user.[106][107] He is a table tennis fan and challenges everyone who visits his house.[108]
Style of play
Van Persie started his senior club career as a left winger and possessed exceptional dribbling skills and was also a talented striker of the ball. He was bought by Arsenal as a long term replacement for Dennis Bergkamp. Manager Arsène Wenger planned to convert Van Persie from a left winger to a centre forward as he had successfully done with star player Thierry Henry. He was at first mostly deployed as a second striker in League Cup and FA Cup matches. Due to the retirement of Bergkamp and departure of Fredrik Ljungberg, Van Persie was given a starting role to play alongside Henry as a second striker. Van Persie impressed in this position, having many assists and goals to his name. Van Persie is described by Wenger as Bergkamp with goals. Van Persie is highly regarded for his dribbling and shooting technique, but has become prone to injury.[21][109][110][111][112][113] Van Persie has become a pivotal figure for club and country and this was recognized when he was named Arsenal Player of The Season for the 2008–09 season.[114][115][116] Van Persie's 50th Premier League strike made him only the fourth Dutchman to reach 50 goals in England's top division, along with Dennis Bergkamp, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.[51]
The departure of Emmanuel Adebayor and Henry meant the Dutchman was now the main striker in Wenger's 4–3–3 system, though Van Persie often drops in the midfield to use his vision and passing skills to create chances for other attacking players in the midfield such as Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott. Van Persie topped the goal assists leader board with 11 assists in the 2008–09 Premier League season.[117] Van Persie is also a set piece specialist and a vast number of his assists come from both corners and freekicks. He is also a proven direct freekick taker scoring regularly for his club and country.[118][119]

The son of two artists, Van Persie was encouraged to follow in his parents' footsteps,[7] but he instead preferred football and joined SBV Excelsior's youth squad. He made his breakthrough at another hometown club Feyenoord, where he spent three seasons and won the 2002 UEFA Cup.[8] He was named the Dutch Football Talent of the Year for the 2001–02 season. Disagreements with manager Bert van Marwijk culminated in a change of club and Van Persie moved to Premier League side Arsenal for £2.75 million in 2004 as a long-term replacement for Dennis Bergkamp.[9][10] He won the FA Community Shield and the FA Cup in his first season with the London club and went on to win the 2006 Rotterdam Sportsman of the year award.[11] Van Persie has been named Premier League Player of the Month three times.[12] Van Persie topped the goal assists leader board with 11 assists in the 2008–09 Premier League.[13]
Van Persie was a Dutch youth international, having represented the Netherlands under-17, under-19 and under-21 sides. He made his senior international debut in 2005 in a friendly match against Romania. One month later, he netted his first senior international goal in a 4–0 win over Finland. Van Persie has 70 caps so far and has scored 30 goals for the Netherlands.[14][15] He represented his country in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 2012.
Club career
Feyenoord
Van Persie joined Dutch side SBV Excelsior's youth squad at the age of 14 years, but left at the age of 15, due to the relationship with the coach and his mother, and thus signed for Feyenoord.[16] He was quickly promoted into the first team due to injury problems among the squad, and made his debut for the club at 17, which was the first of 15 total starts. He received the KNVB Best Young Talent award at the end of the 2001–02 season. He signed a professional three-and-a-half year contract with Feyenoord in the following season, and scored five goals in a 6–1 Amstel Cup thrashing of AGOVV Apeldoorn on 6 February 2003. However, clashes with his manager Bert van Marwijk saw Van Persie demoted to the reserve squad, and an irate van Marwijk told reporters, "His behaviour made it impossible for him to remain in the squad any longer so he will join the reserve side for the time being."[17] During a match featuring the Feyenoord and Ajax reserves, he was one of several Feyenoord players assaulted by hooligans who had invaded the pitch.[16] Van Persie's rift with van Marwijk continued when he was sent home on the eve of the 2002 UEFA Super Cup final against Real Madrid after the coach was displeased with Van Persie's body language after being asked to warm up for a Champions League qualifier.[18] Van Persie finished his tumultuous debut season on the first team, making a total of 28 appearances and scoring eight goals, in addition to finishing runner-up in the KNVB Cup.
Manchester United
"I always listen to the little boy inside of me in these situations – when you have to make the harder decisions in life. What does he want? That boy was screaming for Man United.
"From my side, and Arsenal as well, there are no hard feelings. There were certain elements which were vital to me that we had a different view. That is life. Nobody is angry at me and I'm not angry at them."[75]
Robin van Persie, in regards to his transfer to Manchester United
On 15 August 2012, Arsenal announced they had agreed terms with Manchester United for his transfer, but Van Persie had yet to agree personal terms with the club.[76] On 17 August, Van Persie transferred to Manchester United for an initial £24 million, signing a four-year contract.[77] He made his debut on 20 August, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Danny Welbeck in a 1–0 loss to Everton.[78] Five days later, with his first shot for the club,[79] he scored his first Manchester United goal, United's first in a 3–2 victory over Fulham.[80] On 2 September 2012, he scored his first hat-trick for United in another 3–2 victory over Southampton, helping pull United back from a 2–1 deficit; his third goal was his 100th in the Premier League.[81] Van Persie netted a late penalty on 23 September to give United a 2-1 away win at Anfield against Liverpool. Van Persie opened his European account with the club, scoring a brace in the 2–1 away win against CFR Cluj, with both goals assisted by Wayne Rooney.
International career
Van Persie (right) and Ruud van Nistelrooy training with the Netherlands
Van Persie was a U-21 international and took part in the 2004 and 2006 European Championship qualifying. Van Persie was used in a wider role as a left wing due to the preference of the experienced Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the striker role.[82] The Jong Oranje failed to qualify for the 2004 tournament and Van Persie did not participate in the latter as he was already in the senior squad for the FIFA World Cup. He earned his first caps for the Netherlands in less than the span of a week, first in a 2–0 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Romania on 4 June 2005,[83][84] and in another qualifier four days later against Finland, which saw him pick up his first international goal in a 4–0 victory.[85]
2006 FIFA World Cup
Despite not being a regular starter for Arsenal, Van Persie was part of coach Marco van Basten's roster for the 2006 World Cup finals. He played in all four of the Netherlands' matches and scored his only goal in the group stage against Côte d'Ivoire via a free kick as Oranje were eliminated in the Round of 16.[86][87]
UEFA Euro 2008
Van Persie scored a team-best four UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying goals,[88][89] and was deployed as a winger behind lone striker Ruud van Nistelrooy during the tournament after van Basten decided to change to a 4–2–3–1 formation. As Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart were preferred in the midfield, Van Persie was left to battle with Arjen Robben for the remaining spot on the wing. On 13 June, he scored as a 55th-minute substitute in a 4–1 Group C victory over 2006 World Cup finalists France, and started the next match against Romania, scoring off a pass from Demy de Zeeuw with an excellent volley into the back of the net. He finished with two goals as the Netherlands finished atop their group but again suffered a first knock-out round, second stage elimination.
Post-Euro 2008
Van Persie scored in the friendlies played against Russia and Sweden, and also scored a header in a World Cup qualifying match against Scotland, which stirred debate whether he should be taking corners or receiving them. He was injured during that match and was substituted early in the second-half.
2010 FIFA World Cup
Van Persie (right) with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Van Persie was included in the preliminary squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[90] On 27 May 2010, Netherlands manager Bert van Marwijk announced that he was in the final squad of 23 participating in the competition.[91] Van Persie was in the starting line-up for their first match in the competition, a 2–0 victory over Denmark.[92] On 24 June, he scored the first goal against Cameroon in a 2–1 win to ensure that the Netherlands finished as group winners, and was officially named the man of the match.[93] He started every match for the Oranje, though he did not increase his goal tally following the match. However The Oranje reached the 2010 World Cup Final, in which he was on the losing side due to Andrés Iniesta's extra time goal.
UEFA Euro 2012
On 2 September 2011, Van Persie scored four goals in a record breaking 11–0 victory over San Marino. He entered the Dutch national team top 10 all-time topscorer ranking with a tally of 25 goals, dislodging Marco van Basten in the process.[94] Van Persie had not scored four goals in a single match for a long while.[95]
On 13 June 2012, Van Persie scored the Dutch goal in a 2–1 loss to Germany in the European Championship group stage. Having missed two earlier chances, Van Persie picked up the ball near the halfway line, turned and ran at the German defence, before firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.[96]
Personal life
Van Persie was born in a multi-ethnic area of Rotterdam to an artistic family. José Ras, his mother, is a painter and jewellery designer who also teaches special needs children.[97] Bob, his father, is a sculptor. After Van Persie's parents divorced he was brought up by his father. At school, Van Persie was one of the most misbehaved children and was excluded from class almost daily.[97] After joining Arsenal in England, Van Persie settled in Hampstead, an affluent suburb of north London. Van Persie is married to Bouchra and the couple has two children: a son named Shaqueel and daughter Dina.
In June 2005, while in Rotterdam with the Dutch national team for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, Van Persie was arrested on suspicion of rape by Dutch police.[98] Sandra Krijgsman, a former Miss Nigeria Holland winner, claimed that she was attacked by Van Persie in a hotel.[99] He was held for fourteen nights in prison while the police investigated the allegations made against him[100] but was then released without charge, though he was still under suspicion.[101] In February 2006, the case against Van Persie was dismissed by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service after they completed their investigations stating that no sexual contact with coercion happened, with Van Persie's accuser later admitting she had made up the story to gain publicity.[102][103] Van Persie admitted being unfaithful by having sex with Krijgsman, but he was forgiven by his wife, Bouchra Elbali.[104] Van Persie spoke of his ordeal several months later, saying how degrading the experience was and how he was treated like a criminal despite his innocence. He revealed that conditions in the prison were so hot that they caused him to lose consciousness. It also emerged that more than 200 Rotterdam police officers had attempted to view his case files, with the vast majority of them unauthorised to do so.[7][105]
Van Persie is a Twitter user.[106][107] He is a table tennis fan and challenges everyone who visits his house.[108]
Style of play
Van Persie started his senior club career as a left winger and possessed exceptional dribbling skills and was also a talented striker of the ball. He was bought by Arsenal as a long term replacement for Dennis Bergkamp. Manager Arsène Wenger planned to convert Van Persie from a left winger to a centre forward as he had successfully done with star player Thierry Henry. He was at first mostly deployed as a second striker in League Cup and FA Cup matches. Due to the retirement of Bergkamp and departure of Fredrik Ljungberg, Van Persie was given a starting role to play alongside Henry as a second striker. Van Persie impressed in this position, having many assists and goals to his name. Van Persie is described by Wenger as Bergkamp with goals. Van Persie is highly regarded for his dribbling and shooting technique, but has become prone to injury.[21][109][110][111][112][113] Van Persie has become a pivotal figure for club and country and this was recognized when he was named Arsenal Player of The Season for the 2008–09 season.[114][115][116] Van Persie's 50th Premier League strike made him only the fourth Dutchman to reach 50 goals in England's top division, along with Dennis Bergkamp, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.[51]
The departure of Emmanuel Adebayor and Henry meant the Dutchman was now the main striker in Wenger's 4–3–3 system, though Van Persie often drops in the midfield to use his vision and passing skills to create chances for other attacking players in the midfield such as Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott. Van Persie topped the goal assists leader board with 11 assists in the 2008–09 Premier League season.[117] Van Persie is also a set piece specialist and a vast number of his assists come from both corners and freekicks. He is also a proven direct freekick taker scoring regularly for his club and country.[118][119]
