http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?HLID=405359 Van Persie ready to fill void By Alex Dunn - Created on 24 Jul 2006 Robin van Persie is confident he has all the attributes to fill the void left at Arsenal by Dennis Bergkamp's decision to hang up the most illustrious of boots. Against Ajax at the weekend, to mark the first game at Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium, Bergkamp bade farewell to those who have supported him during 11 trophy-laden years in the capital. Van Persie is the man tipped to replace his Dutch compatriot as the deep lying forward behind Thierry Henry, with an impressive showing at the World Cup raising his stock further. The gifted 22-year-old has endured somewhat of a troubled time since his arrival in England but having put off-the-field problems behind him, he is now confident that he can make his mark next term as a regular in Arsene Wenger's first team. When evaluating the fine example set by Bergkamp's utmost professionalism, van Persie spoke with admiration and a desire to step-up to the task of replacing him. ''He helped me a lot, sometimes I think I was asking him too much and asking all types of things,'' he told Arsenal TV Online. （范小西都要老伯幫他些什麼忙？@@） ''When I see how he lives, it's a great example - he's a different human being. The way he does it, it's fantastic on and off the pitch. ''You have thoughts about your hero before you meet them and sometimes there is disappointment but with Dennis there is not.'' 范前范後范配西加油！ --
