How The Most Predictable Winger In The World Became UNPLAYABLE With Only ONE-FOOT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Considered one of the best wingers of his generation, Arjen Robben is a name known globally by football fans. Skilled with dribbling, and rapid in his hayday, he was a major threat for any defender even if they knew which way he wanted to turn. Reliant on his left-foot, he made famous the 'cut-in and shoot' from the right flank, and despite the fact that it was a predictable move, no-one could stop him at his best. Injury prone he suffered long-periods away from the pitch, but he still managed to accumulate hundreds of goal contributions and plenty of international accolades. Here's "The Story of Arjen Robben"...

Everyone always knew exactly what he was going to do, yet no one could stop him. Deadly
Original
Even Ray Charles knew it.
Because we haven’t heard that a million times 🙄🤦🏻♂️
@@reyess.ortegaa the truth has a habit

Underrated comment
I think if robben practiced 10,000 kicks on goal he would have scored that chance against Spain in the world cup final
@@mohammadmazin2926 lol do the math he did wayyyy more then 10.000 before the 2010 wc final 😂😂
@@bezzzbezzy473😂 I know.
That one really does apply to Robben! There is footage of him practising that move religiously at Bayern Munich. He had already mastered the move like no other, but he still kept on working on his skills. A true pro.
CEO of inevitability and master of arguably the deadliest move known to football. Legend has it he only takes left turns when driving to get to his destination...
One of the greatest wingers of all time. The man who created the cut inside move and did it better than anyone else.
Lol. He didn't create it. Robert Pirez, Thierry Henry?? What are you a fetus?
@@juniorm641 Henry wasn’t a winger and pires didn’t do it as well as robben
Ahh... The infamous Robberry, they're so terrifying together.
@@danielkhmelnitsky4911not interested in a pointless argument but just wanted clarify- yes, Henry actually was a winger before being put on as striker by Wenger.
@@juniorm641 Learn some manners dude.
When i think of “cut inside” he’s my first thought. Back in 2007-2010 time I remember Real Madrid TV used to be on Sky in the UK and I’d watch highlights of their games after school and I was just in absolute awe of him.
So much consistency over such a long period, it’s truly remarkable.
Not to forget for about 10 years, my favourite Ultimate Team card 😂
This has to be the most underrated channel on youtube
i remember when robben was charging for goal in the 2010 final ..... owww man he hit the feet of the keeper .... i felt for him but even despite this he is still my most favourite dutch hero ... i love you arjen youre a beast and always will be too bad you didnt made that goal in the final and made us the first time wk champion but thats okay you were amazing and there wont be something like you again a truly miss for the squad ..
If Robben wasn't injured as much as he did I truly believe that he would have been the same level as Messi & Ronaldo. He had everything to reach their level and most importantly he had the right mindset
One of the best wingers I've ever seen
And I just want to clarify that Euro 2008 he came to the tournament injured so that's why he started the games but was still outstanding when he came on. Robben got injured again in training that's why he never came on against Russia.
That's a very BIG "IF" dude. I definitely rate the guy, but he never had the numbers to even compare with CR7 or Messi's worst season, so that's kinda over the top to compare him to two of the greatest of all time.
@@john-gregorysierra8875 on the contrary i agree.....he would have rivalled them easily.....oh i forgot he actually did
@@danieladebisi4892 hell no. No one did rival those 2.
@@recapaman8936 isnt that your opinion vs mine? Go back and watch times when they met who was swallowed up......robben will not be silenced and on several occasions he beat the crap out of them.
@@danieladebisi4892that’s a very flawed logic. He never came close to rival either. He was a world class player no doubt but these are the 2 best players in football history who racked up 30-40 goals per season at the very least while playing for the two best teams in football history. He never rivales Ronaldo in the prem when both of them played there. He never hit the levels he reached with Bayern in Real Madrid. I know that stats isn’t everything but his best goal scoring season were 14/15 where he scored 17 league goals in Bundesliga while playing for by far the best team in the country. That’s not bad but it isn’t mind blowing either. Do you know when the last time Ronaldo or Messi scored under 20 league goals? Except in 21/22 where Messi scored 6 league goals (at the age of 35 btw) the last time he scored under 20 before that was in 07/08 when he was 20 and it was 08/09 for Ronaldo when he was 23/24 years old scoring 18 league goals. Not to mention their UCL records. They’ve almost scored the same amount goals in the UCL alone than Robben have in every competition combined in his entire career. That’s even with lower quality leagues such as eredivise & bundesliga. So to sum it all up, he never rivalled them.
Tier 1: Messi & Ronaldo
Tier 2: Suarez, Benzema, Lewa, Xavi, Iniesta & Modric
Tier 3: Neymar, Robben, Hazard, Eto’o, Ribéry, Aguero, Xavi Alonso, Lampard, Gerrard
was a thorn in the side of many teams (including mine) but man was he a quality player. Great doc by the way really enjoyable watch 👏
These videos are fantastic! Please keep continuing this. I’ve never been so into a UA-cam channel
Thanks for the support! More coming every week. Keep an eye for updates and posts on the Community channel.
I remember watching arjen robben do his signature cuts from the right and striking it with his left, growing up I would always try to emulate it but could never do it as swiftly and as smoothly as him. A true legend.
A proper winger who could play and on both sides. Robbens growth and maturity has been nothing short of excellence and his partnership with Ribery will forever remain legendary. His trickery was something to behold and his move to Bayern was heaven made.
His goal against United in the 2010 CL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
His magnum opus was his performance against Spain in 2014 World Cup when he embarrassed the World and European Champions 5 - 1.
However I'll never forgive him for his squandering the 2010 WC Final where we should've won it singlehandely.
One of the best of all time, tho highly underrated most of the time
Hope this channel blows up, bringing back so many memories with these videos. Keep up the good work!
TheRetroRoute.. thank you for this. Great channel. I'm on my 30s, but it takes some of us back. Really gives a better insight about a player and their career.
Thank you for the great content can't wait!
The content is immaculate, keep it up. Really want to see part 2 and 3 of the Milan series
Just found your channel and I love it. Pure class and professional.
i only watch footbal since early 2000's and in my opinion he's the best winger Holland have ever had
As Man City fan, I really appreciate the Robbery duo. The most legendary duo in football history.
Xavi-iniesta
Keane/Scholes, Xavi/Iniesta, Cole/Yorke, Sheva/Rebrov, Romario/Bebeto, Ronaldinho/Eto, Rooney/Ronaldo. Just a few other combos that were as good if not better.
Robbery was legendary but to say it was the MOST legendary is a bit much.
@@winningbigly6666 only xavi iniesta and ronaldinho eto are better from those
Ronaldinho-Guily was better than Ronaldinho-Eto.
Xavi - iniesta, modric -kros are the most obvious better ones And De broyne-haaland is reaching that point really fast as well.
Mr. Wembley
Insane work 👏 my favourite player
Waited for this whole night thanks bro
The most predictable yet the most deadly player
Every defender knew what he would do. But nobody could stop his left foot.
he was deadly enough but definetly not the most deadly player...
Remember that this guy was playing during Messi-ronaldo era.. calm down.
Awesome upload 👌
RIP Tim Krul's legendary stop going unmentioned. @ 21:26
that was fantastic, made my day! thanks! mia san mia
Awesome video👊👍
Absolute Dutch legend, up there with them
He is one of the most entertaining right wingers that i ever saw even though he had the ordinary and usual style of play but he never fails to amaze me with the cut in shot style of goals
I remembered the dynamic duo of Robin Van Persie Arjen Robben Rafael Van der Vaart where Netherlands trio by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Extraordinario jugador zurdo , I love the music you used at final of the video .
He wasn't benched during the 2008 European cup. He was injured.
couldnt watch after the 2010 wc keeps breaking my heart every single time..
My eternal favorite playera, love robben
The greatest Dutch winger & left winger of all time. Won league titles in every country he played in (Holland,England, Spain & Germany) the champions league of course. A proper dribbler with magnificent pace combined with goals & assists. He’s definitely on Dutch all time best Xl & will have a strong case to make it on Bayern Munich Xl too (which is extremely hard since this is FC Hollywood we talking about). Personally when everybody was doing team of last decade I had to put him there on the right wing of my front three with Messi on top of the tree as a false 9 & Cristiano on the left wing (beating the likes of Suarez,Lewandowski & Kun Aguero) which was tough trust me but Arjen was sensational during the whole decade from 09-2019 🤷🏻♂️
Right winger
@@markuslanz88 pardon me “RIGHT” winger 😏
He was an appalling cheat. Dived and didn’t think there was anything wrong with cheating. I absolutely loathed him.
@@starryian007 I bet if he was on your team you’d have loved him. Robben was a class player & a winner. Got fouled a lot hence why he got too many injuries in his terrified career. His individual goals were nothing to do with “cheat” as you labelled him dude. He was unstoppable with his signature move cuts from the right wing & BANG shot top corner goal with his left magical foot.
@@DR-uq4hn No
The man was a great footballer no dount but as a human being absolutely not. He was an inveterate cheat and obnoxious whiner, constantly mincing around the pitch and if he so much as got touched he'd throw his hands up and swallow dive to the turf as though someone in the crowd had sniped him. Ask any Mexican fan about Robben and they'd tell you the same thing and the way he CHEATED them out of a place in the semi finals of a 2014 World Cup with a dive so obvious and pathetic you'd think he was auditioning for the Olympic diving team.
Sure, a great player but for me, his appalling callous, cheating antics and 'win at all cost' attitude destroys any good he could have accomplished.
Thank you for this video.
Untill today the German commentarys call it a "Robben-like" manouver when someone cuts in from the right side to the 16 yard box and finishes
Robben is an always will be a legend
Imagine how he would be spoken of had he scored that goal in the world cup final!
To me as a Dutch, the best player of the Oranje team I have ever seen. Goosebumps everywhere when I see this kind of footage. Robben was unlucky dough to injuries to become the Ballon dór winner. Just look again... Enjoy! Thank you Arjen for everything you have done for the sport.
The best no, but he is up there, Cruijff, van Basten, Bergkamp for me are above him, but thats my personal opinion. Cant blame you for choosing Robben, he was awesome.
As a Chelsea fan, growing up as a kid, he was one my first favourite player in the Abramovich era when he took over. Loved him so much that I remember having him as my screen saver on the school computer. I was so upset when he left, but as Chelsea fans we learned to move on quick. Him & Hazard were 2 players that always had me excited as a fan when they were on the pitch & a pair which I would've love to seen play together for us.
I remembered the duo of Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery at Bayern Munich by Steve Irungu Jermaine
damn good content, should do a freddy adu one :)
When I think of robben I think of that goal against Manchester United spectacular goal
❤️One of d few that deserve ballon d’or…❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an emotional story
O man the other side of Robbery, he shaped an era at Bayern despite the injuries problems he had at the beginning of his career there. As they say that there are 3 things that are certain in life, death, taxes and Robben cutting inside and scoring.
Damn you beat me to it lol
As soon as he lost his hair he was unplayable crazy how his hair held him back
Puna podrska za brata
Everyone knew what Robben was about to do, but no one could stop him 😂.
No doubt a great player , but I had a tough time respecting his game due to all those Dives ... Just like Di Maria and Sergio Busquets , all tremendous talents , but those constant dives made me hate them all lol
I love your content, can you do the decline of Manchester United.
He didn't become unstoppable. He WAS ALWAYS unstoppable
love the videos, small correction, Mexico isn't in South America
I have tromendous respect for you Arjen Robben by Steve Irungu Jermaine
When Robben was with Chelsea it was probably one of their most exciting eras with him & Duff on the wings with Drogba up front. It’s a pity it never clicked for Kezman cos I remember the stories about how many goals they scored together at PSV before they joined Chelsea.
Chelsea let him go for an absolute bargain. Don’t know what they were thinking. Actually I do know, he kept getting injured & they assumed his career would finish early. Big mistake
He wanted to leave as well I mean it was Madrid after all
Even with bigger stars on the pitch against my teams, Arjen scares me more. His unpredictable movements could hurt one of my players. So deadly.
My favorite
As someone who use to play football & is also left footed. There are 3 players who I always use to look upto as a kid. 1 of them is Robben the other 2 is Adriano & Roberto Carlos from Brazil.
No messi
If his Prime FUT card isn't 92+ I'm quitting FUT
My absolute favourite Dutchman in the modern era, Johan is the best.
I wish robben could play much longer 🥺
He would be at the level Messi and Ronaldo if he wasnt so injury prone still great player
He was top class but nobody would've been the level of Messi and Ronaldo. They are special because they are in a class of there own. But I am a big robben fan
Utter nonsense
@Eddie Marin
They are overrated
Messi is the most overrated footballer of all times
He literally never did good against Italian club and never did good with Argentine either
Messi and Christians Ronaldo played in dry talent era that have no good footballer or good world class players
They both also played in Spanish league with open play and weak competition
Not to mention how many times they robbed more worthy player
Like xavi , ineasta, Wesley
I’m not afraid to say Messi and CR7 are super talented
But they also super overrated
@@badsolja1 Imao messi overrated. The guy is bugger than any shitty Italian club not to mention serie A is dead.He has scored more goals in a calendar year than half of the serie A teams combined.Even players like rashford is better than players of the past boomers like you should stick to cricket.The consistency of messi and Ronaldo is what makes them the best they have won everything excluding the world cup.You don't know shit about football even the greatest player of the past has told messi is the greatest I will take their words over yours any day.Messi just won copa and is the highest south American scorer reached the world cup final and won the best player award in FIFA world cup 2014 so how is he bad for his country? He scored and crushed AC Milan in the champions league Imao reply why messi is overrated.
you are such Loyal and ignorant fanboy
Messi did shit of nothing against Italian club before they start to decline
From 2006-2011/2012
I don’t care of what he did after cause Italian club died and the defensive core that existed are no longer
He scored vs nesta ac Milan ?
Or mexas ac Milan
He couldn’t score vs ac Milan when Nesta was old and still around
He couldn’t touch the ball when he played vs inter 2010 when he considered in his prime
Lucio and Samuel + chivu and zanetti and motto was too much for him to handle how’s that not overrated ?
2010 World Cup dog shit
2014 dog shit did nothing except in the group stage
Want me to refresh your memory who they played in group stage ?
Iran , Nigeria and Bosnia
The worst and the weakest stage group I have ever seen
Vs Belgium he missed 1v1 vs Courtois
Answer me how’s that not overrated
The entire last 15 years have no talents this why he’s overrated
He had 14% goal scoring ratio in his first 7 game vs Italian club
How is that not overrated
How you can say Messi the greatest of all times when he failed to win the World Cup or do good at it
For me that’s the definition of overrated
A story about
Crespo
Veron
Nedved
Trezgueat
Nakata
Vieri
Please
Very Underrated player, many says that Ribery should've won ballon d'or in 2013, but I think overall that Robben should've won that one instead of CR7
great video, but since when has Mexico been considered a South American country??
I hated how he was already injured at chelsea, but I knew the monster he was. My god it came out at bayern
That goal in '10 against united still hurts
The only player who was able to emulete, Messi's signature move.
Anyone know the name of the song playing at the very end of the video
Top player always comes back from 284 injuries😢
How is that no one could stop his cut inside move 🥶

Now do Javier Saviola, played for both Barca and Real
He deserve a ballon dor and world cup
Not really a ballon dor They where better players World cup yes
He absolutly did NOT deserver a ballon dor.
A world cup? debetable... he had the chance to win it.. Literally.
he PERSONALLY had the chance to win it.
Casillas said no, the rest is history.
Quality player, a shame he didn't last long @ Chelsea
is there a constant clicking in the background or do i need to go to GP haha
should do a story on henry
Do one for ribery
WHATS THE NAME OF THE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND?
Do a video about shota arveladze
Could you make jari litmanen history ?
Me from Holland Arjen didn't shoot in the final on his way to the goal against Argentina.. he is a business man and he thought in ranks. sample: he first man he first after game massage you second goalkeeper you massage ? no you go off table me massage now. the man of glass who had a long good career
Do an episode on Paolo Di Canio
The story of Robin Van Persie soon?!
What a wonderful footballer yet SDS compare him with Mahrez😢
The man who lost a final on purpose so he could win a CL with Bayern
Now his first team is on the verge of degrading to the second division. FC Groningen , also the team in Europe where Luis Suarez started.
Please do Dwight Yorke nobody ever makes videos about him
LONG LIVE WEED
not enough clips. visually lost interest a few mins in despite it being the story of one of the most beautiful dribblers / attackers of all time
Everyone knows Robben's signature move is to cut in on his left foot and score. An excellent inside forward for Bayern and the Netherlands. Madrid are dumb for selling him. Him and Ronaldo would have tore up La Liga.
what a "beast"
Do gattuso
In his pomp he was second to only Ronaldo and Messi. So third ha. But you get my point.
There are few certainties in life apart from death, taxes and Robben cutting in from the right to slot one past you.
I always wondered, if Robben played for today Liverpool team and play on the right, which one will be better; Salah or Robben?
ROBBEN OF COURSE
Salah is good but Robben was Phenomenal
When is Ac milan part 2
The guy who narrated these videos seems to have read and researched well but didn't live through these eras.
When Robben was at Chelsea he was their devastating attacker and the frustration was that with him playing, Chelsea and Mourinho's counter attack style looked unplayable.. But he was forever injured so they couldn't build the empire on a sand.
At Madrid the 2 best players in LA Liga were Robben and Messi and 3rd was David Villa at Valencia.
This narration makes it seem like was just a really good player, when in his prime he was in the top 5 of the best players in the world.
The Bernd Schuster Madrid went through a Dutch phase and Robben was 2nd best player behind Messi that time at Real Madrid
