Arsenal ace Robin van Persie says he will be happy to become world champion without scoring any more goals.

The Arsenal striker has only scored once so far in the finals, but claims the Dutch, who play Slovakia tomorrow, do not rely on the qualities of one star player.

Van Persie, 26, says he wants to prove he can play exactly like he does at Arsenal, where manager Arsene Wenger converted him into a genuine striker.

"This is my biggest challenge in the World Cup," he said. "I want to prove that I am a real striker.

"I want to be important for the team and guide Holland to the final in my role as an out-and-out striker."
