Edgar Davids backs the Netherlands to win Euro 2012

Edgar Davids believes that Holland can go all the way at the Euros.

Dutch legend Edgar Davids believes that Holland have the fire power to win the Euros.

The only major tournament that the Netherlands have won was the 1988 edition of this competition. However they did reach the World Cup final two years ago, and the midfielder believes that this squad has the talent to go all the way.

"Sneijder has to play," Davids told ESPN. "He showed in his last games [for Inter Milan] he was hungry, he was aggressive again, he was determined and he doesn't have the physical damage that a season brings to you.

"I would play Klass-Jan Huntelaar, Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Sneijder. You have Huntelaar as a striker, Van Persie coming in from the left and also Robben on the other side. Why should you choose? [Van Persie and Huntelaar] have scored so many goals, I think that's common sense.

"Huntelaar grew at Schalke. People think it's easy to play in a foreign country but it's not only about the game as you have to adapt, adapting is key. The quicker you adapt, then the stronger you are and the more successful you can be. But I don't think he's capable of winning the Golden Boot, that normally goes to someone who has been playing in the Champions League."

Davids, who himself won the Champions League, is keen to see his country triumph but admits that others are a threat and believes that even the hosts can cause an upset.
