Soccer – Klopp won’t focus on van Persie

Robin van Persie is not the only dangerous Arsenal player, according to Jurge Klopp, the coach of the Gunners’ Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund.

The Dutch striker, 1/1 with bookmaker to score at any time in the game at the Emirates Stadium, which Arsenal are 10/1 to win 2-0, has been in superlative form in recent weeks, scoring ten goals in his last seven games in all competitions.
But Klopp warned: “We will prepare for van Persie, but we won’t have four men on him. The easiest way is to ensure he doesn’t get good service and I think we have a few measures for that.
“It would be fatal to focus only on van Persie, although he’s great. We don’t know exactly how they will play, but we have to take care of Theo Walcott and a few others like Aaron Ramsey. You get punished if you let them go.”
