Robin van Persie bangs in the goals in Holland training after winning first call-up to national squad since 2015
- Holland are preparing for games against France and Bulgaria in the coming days
- Robin van Persie has been included in the Dutch squad for the two matches
- And he's shown in training that he has not lost his magic touch in front of goal
It's a video that will give the Dutch courage ahead of two tricky matches this international break.
Robin van Persie, recalled to the Holland squad for the first time in two years, has been banging in the goals in training.
The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker - currently on the books of Fenerbahce - proved in a brief video posted by the Dutch FA on Twitter that he's still got the magic touch.

And that's just what head coach Dick Advocaat and his side need as they battle to reach the 2018 World Cup finals.
Van Persie's gorgeous side-footed volleys could be crucial to the Oranje's cause when they face France and Bulgaria knowing they can scarcely afford to lose if they want to secure even a play-off place.
Holland currently sit third in Group A of UEFA qualifying, having already lost at home to France earlier in the campaign.
Defeat in Paris on Thursday would all but rule out their chances of finishing top of the standings.
Van Persie's class in front of goal was evident in a video posted by Holland's Twitter account
The striker will be aiming to find the back of the net in games against France and Bulgaria.
Sweden currently sit top of the pile with 13 points, the same tally as the French who only trail by virtue of goal difference.
The Dutch host the Bulgarians in Amsterdam on September 3.
Bulgaria, meanwhile, are just a point behind Holland in fourth, meaning the pair of fixtures present a make or break scenario for Van Persie and his colleagues.
The 34-year-old, whose last appearance for his country came in October 2015,is his country's all-time top scorer with 50 goals.
