Willem van Hanegem believes that Robin van Persie was showing a lack of respect with his actions after the Netherlands' 1-0 loss to Denmark.

Feyernoord legend Willem van Hanegem has criticised Netherlands striker Robin van Persie for making a phone call after his side's 1-0 defeat to Denmark.

The Arsenal captain was seen on his phone on the pitch immediately after the Dutch's shock loss to the Group B outsiders after he had squandered several chances during the match.

Van Hanegem believes that the Gunners hitman's actions show a lack of respect.

"What kind of impression does this make?" Van Hanegem wrote in his column in Algemeen Dagblad. "You just lost a very important match where you missed a few very good chances and then the people see you calling on the side of the pitch!

"I really think this is impossible to believe and [Bert] van Marwijk should talk to him about this.

"I don't get why he was calling there. It's something you shouldn't do and I have never seen this in my life."

Netherlands face Germany in their next Group B match on Wednesday.
