There's a video called " The most predictable move in football" on youtube, which is a compilation of his goals. Worth watching.
I won't be a compilation of his goals then. Yes, had an exceptionally good left foot, no that doesn't mean he was one trick pony.
@@DenUitvreterhe was one always cut it on left
@@therealhb1763 No, he wasn't.
The great ones do what they do over and over, and people know theyre going to do it but cant stop it even if they tried. For americans, it's like Larry Bird telling his opponents exactly what he was going to do, and what they better not do, and than he does it and the guy still does what bird said he shouldnt do and bird scores.
@@DenUitvreter He did trot like a pony when he didn't have the ball; I'll never forget that walk/run. Also, isn't cutting inside and creating shooting opportunities like 80% of an inside forward's job?
Kaka was insane in 2006/2007 season. He also won the 2007 Ballon d'Or.
and whats more, he was also young, only 3 years older than ronaldo
@@SpitfirinHurricane he should react to golden era of AC milan
@@Fkacu frr
Robben as a 16 year old already looked like he was pushing 30 lol.
My story is the opposite. Being a short guy with baby face i looked 16 even when i was 27.
@@unwokeneuropean3590 I'm a tall guy with the same condition: I had to I.D. myself for a beer till well in my 30's. Which annoyed me a lot until it stopped when I was pushing 40 and I realised I'm getting old :)
Kaka won a Balon D'Or but his career got blighted by injury. Pretty sure he played in MLS too.
I'm totally here for more player videos.
Yeah at Orlando.
I remember as a Bayern Fan, when Robben and Ribbery played together for the first time and simply destroyed the oposing team in the Bundesliga. oh Boy was I in for a ride for the next seasons.
My sister and I had season tickets for PSV in the Batman & Robben era, she even met and flirted with Kezman at a party :) Never got to see any Champion's League glory though...
his 2014 world cup was magical, mostly against spain
It is a shame that the video didn't cover Robben's performance in the 2014 World Cup. He carried that dutch squad and should have been named the player of the tournament.
As a Dutchman i've followed his whole career since Groningen and for me he's the best Dutch player i've really experienced. I truly believe his is a top 5 right winger of this century. The person that made this video did it very well, but i would have liked a little more emphasize on the cutting inside from the right wing and his deadly left foot.
The reason that cutback-shoot was difficult to stop is his fakes. He would fake a cut back, then cut back. Then fake 2 shots before shooting. So even though you knew what was coming, you never knew when it would come
Plus he was very very quick
Robben is my favorite player. He is sometimes called the man of glass in the Netherlands because of his injuries. I think he is already one of the best of this century and without all his injuries he would be top 3. He carried The Netherlands in world cup 2010 to the finals and 2014 semi finals.
Robben was a legend in the Bundesliga. It was too funny because sometimes opponents would put 3 players to cover him when he was in the final third on the ball. He was just so quick in his first steps that the defenders often had to overcommit and position themselves more to the inside but then Robben would just go towards the goal line and cross the ball.
The CL goal against ManU from a corner was my favourite goal of Robben.
Kaka is the last Brazilian to win the ballon D'or in 2007, and he won against young Ronaldo and Messi
first time i hear someone call our Robben 'clunky"
14:40 nobody stopped because they don't know WHEN he's gonna shoot, he was fast and his finishing was crazy good too
Dude, you need a reaction to Kaka!
He was god-teir for Chelsea in 04-05 💙💙
Robben is the third best player in this century in my opinion. A shame that he had so many injuries
Definitely recommend the HITC sevens video on the 100 greatest players of all time, for a well informed look at a lot of the all time greats.
You know ball
One of my heroes growing up, along with Messi and Zidane
If you are interested in sport science, one of the most stimulating things about this player is that he is a perfect example of improvements in this field during these years: he started with lots of injuries; at the middle of his career custom diet for each player started to be more important; he tried a new one design for him and the injuries banished for the rest of his career.
there are SOOO many legends from Seria A, Bundesliga, and Eredivisie. A whole golden generation of 1990-2000s, full of best and baddest players. I'm so happy that you're heading down this wonderful rabbit hole to learn about football's history. Can't wait for more vids (surely won't be about Kaka and the 2002 Brazil's legendary squad that won the World Cup.)
They called robben the man of glass. But was injured so much because of his explosiveness, real fast pace of running and dribbling.
Great guy, was doing a internship as a photographer for the club he is working for as a yought trainer (fc groningen) really down to earth, crazy to share a kantine with the guy for 20 weeks. Glad to still be able to do some jobs for the club!
Arjan Robben, the guy I finished secondary school with in the Netherlands. He was the pride of the school as he had to lower his education level so that he could for one make it easier on him, and secondly be finished sooner so that he could go football full time for FC Groningen.
He was unstoppable cause you knew what he was gonna do, but not when, he played mindtricks with micro body feints
How can you be so unmoved by the goal against Man united? Such an amazing goal!!! I can also recommend reaction to country histories again. Along with portugal, uruguay etc. we have a rich history(wasting 3 chances to win the world cup, european victory in '88, cruijff, robben, rijkaard, van basten and many more). And i don't know if you have ever heard of portuguese legend Eusebio, but if not then it confirms there is still a lot to learn. A pleasure to watch as always though, great reaction!
Robben is often referred in the Netherlands as 'de man van glas' meaning 'the man that is made out of glass.' He would've been even more legendary if he wasn't injured all the time. Still a legend nevertheless.
There are so many legends. I could give you a long list and it still wouldn't be close to complete.
But here's one you should know. Arguably the best defender ever, Franco Baresi. Italy and AC Milan legend.
I can't blame you for not knowing Robben yet. The football rabbit hole is so deep and wide. Most of us football fans have grown up with football, so you see all these players carriers as they happen. I'd say Robben is like in the 3rd tier of players with so many other excellent players.
Just last week there was an instagram video of him showing that move ( at his current age ) against a very well known tech/trick/skills footballer. It was flawless, you never know WHEN he cuts inside, just fake-out after fake-out until the defender falls on his face and BOOM, goal.
React to Káká, he was great. The last player who won a Ballon D'or before the Messi-Ronaldo era. And Sneijder too, he was my favorite player at the time
I love the player history deep dives. I think it gives a different type of appreciation for the players that you might not get from just watching highlights.
Hope you watch more of them❤
I would recomend "Daily dose of football" or "Raymar football"
15:45 the Spain starting 11 in the WC final against Netherlands consisted of 7 Barcelona players (Pique, Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Villa) , 3 Real Madrid players (Casillas, Ramos, Xabi Alonso) and 1 Villareal player (Capdevila)
15:53 yes, you were wrong, they were half Barca player and half Real players 🤣🤣🤣
As a new football fan, always keep in mind that Europe has many countries and every country even the small ones had at least 5 star players for every generation (that’s not the case the last 5-10 years), that’s why there are so many players (Robbens caliber and higher) for you to discover bro..
Great reaction
Robben had a very specific way of running with the ball
Kaka was the last player to win the ballon d’or before the Ronaldo Messi era of dominance he was insane at his peak highly recommend you check him out
My man, don’t be so hard on yourself for not knowing some older players! Most of us here grew up watching football and like you said, you only started watching 2 years ago. Take your time and just enjoy!!
love the content coach👊
I live very close to him, he also visited a foodball match i played in😂😂
You don't know kaka... Oh my God... That is a world Cup, champions league and ballot d'or winner
Robben, Suarez, Virgil v Dijk, Koeman, were all discovered by FC Groningen
Now, the reason why this signature move of Robben was unstoppable is that Robben always made a move to get passed the defender the moment the defender was on the wrong foot. Its impossible to defend that bc the attacker is always 1 step ahead
When you said you were going to learn about robbin, I thought this was going to be a Liverpool video
Robben is in my top 10 best Dutch players ever. He has really high work rate, and he always made the team play better.
The history buffs know the 90s legends first...
Looking back i'm so relieved that their careers turned out great the way they did. I'm talking about Robben & Messi. When they started their careers i really loved watching them play, because they were the only players to be great showmen since Ronaldinho, with their amazing dribbling skills (my fav part of the game). Both of them were extremely injury prone, fast phased dribbling wingers, one for RM the other for Barca. I was so sad whenever they'd get injured. I'm so glad that Messi got over his physical problems and that Robben, even tho still tormented through his career by these, they were defenitely less than in his early years. They were both known (at least in spanish) "The crystal players" cus they both were fancy on the dribbles but shattered as easily as if they were made of glass. Both amazing players i'm glad i got to see.
Ps. It is so hillarious to me to hear u ask "How is that unstopable", cus i used to say EXACTLY that x'd It is honestly so mental how such a simple move took him so far. This is why Robben was also called a "one trick pony" cus thats all he could do. And anyhow, anyway, anywhere, he WOULD find a way to DO IT. You knew it was comming, i knew it was comming, he knew it was comming, all of the oppossing defenders knew it was comming and even through all of that, he did it
E V E R Y
D A M N
T I M E
I remember at the late stages of his tenure as a RM player, they sometimes tried to stop that move by exageratedly covering his left side, so that if he wanted to cut in, he couldnt cus he'd crash with the defenders. He would literally just loop a bit backwards and then forward again, around the defenders, like making a U turn and STILL make the move and score. Other times, since they were so focused on his left cut in, he would just keep going forward and the defender wouldnt be able to catch up cus of how much they were trying to cover the cut in, so Robben literally just sprinted past them AND THEN make the move in front of the keeper. It was honestly so hillarious to see the mindgames between RObben and defenders when he reached that final 3rd of the pitch x'd
Robben was fantastic. I miss Robbery (Robben + Ribery) at Bayern.
08-12 Spain was a mix of Barcelona and Madrid
Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol, Pique, Pedro, Villa(Barcelona), Ramos, Casillas and Joan Capdevila(Madrid)
Cesc(Arsenal and Barcelona) and Torres(Liverpool) played in the PL
I’ve always said Robben would’ve been up there with Messi and Ronaldo if he wasn’t that injury prone. This may be a hot take, but I genuinely believe this
And IFF and it is a big iff he would have been much more of a team player less selfish and less predictable.
Hey mate, the dutch sqaud have a lot of players like this, a verry underrated country. Players like Cruijff, Van Bastern, Gullit, Van Nistelrooij, etc. For a country that is so little, a lot of tallent
You're doing great man! Stay true to yourself, keep the channel genuine, and try to enjoy the content as much as you hope your viewers will.
Messi and Robben used the "feint" move in their dribbling more than anyone else I can remember. Hazard used to do this too at Chelsea.
When i was a kid, Kaka was in his prime. He was an absolute superstar in that time and a fantastic player. Very fast and a godly dribbler. He and CR7 where meant to be the new super duo at Real Madrid but than he had a long break because of an knee injury and after that sadly he wasn't the same anymore. He actually played his last years in the MLS - in Orlando if i remember correctly.
Since you wanna learn a bit more about the players, here is a little trivia about Robben. Bayern lost the 2012 UCL final in their own stadium, since the final was actually in Munich. It was absolutely soul crushing and I've never seen a club and fandom this broken and sad before.
One season later, Bayern and especially Robbery hat something to prove. Robben scored the winning goal in Wembley in the UCL final in 2013 and earned himself the title "Mr. Wembley" that night (you can google that title lmao).
Also once you check Ribery out (you have to! magical player and easily one of the greatest club legends of all time for Bayern), make sure to watch both of the goodbye videos for Robben and Ribery (search their names and put "goodbye" behind it on youtube). Ribery and Robben left the club at the same time but it was treated as a form of retirement from both. Really encapsulates the emotion behind players like this. Ribery's farewell is just... wow. Must watch for people who want to appreciate players and clubs more!
The video should've mentioned the redemption Robben had w/ the Netherlands against Spain in 2014
Bruce Lee once said and i quote:
''I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times''
i'd say Robben has perfected his ability to dribble at speed, control the ball, body faints and shoot very accurate curly shots at the net because nobody could really stop him.
either he shoots or he continues his dribble, fakes a shot, body faints.. it was all so deadly.
There is a dutch player doing kinda the same moves as Robben right now during this EC, but then with his right foot. Cody Gakpo is a scoring machine and defently took some insperation from Arjen Robben.
Ps as someone whos lives close to his birth village. I can proudly say he is the best thing to ever come out Bedum.
Tbh the Netherlands is amongst the best football countries ever. It’s absolutely insane how much STARS that little country has produced.
Please Netherlands never stop playing football.
He had only one play, only one trick. And it ALWAYS worked!
Bayern has a documentary about the 2012/13 season and how everything lead to thier victory streak
With him being bald, I remember the first time seeing Robben, I thought he was about 30.... he was in his early 20's (and apparently he still had hair, though I always seem to remember him being bald)
he was definitely bald by the time he got to madrid around 24 so your right on that
Dennis Bergkamp from the Netherlands is also worth to see, master in technic🎉
if anyone wants to see one of the best unknown ever strikers in europe just look up Liedson
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Can you maybe look at Santi carzola? escpecially at his arsenal days.
Pure magician!!
You should actually watch some highlights of him he was really pacey that’s why he was able to play mindgames with the defenders, does he cut inside or not, obviously he didn’t always cut inside but he had an eye and the pace for when it was time to commit to cutting inside and when not to, another reason why he was able to cut inside was because Bayern played around it, lahm would overlap robben which leaves the rb at some sort of 2v1 which gave space to Robben usually a helping defender would join but if the timing is a bit off robben can just go for it
Imagine knowing exactly what your opponent is going to do and how he'll do it and not be able to stop him.
Edit: fun fact, the same year Robben went from Real to Bayern, Real also let Sneijder go to Inter.
Both met eachother in the next Champions League finals, both playing pivotal roles getting there.
The kicker though? That finals game took place in Bernabeu!
Robben with hair is nightmare fuel
You knew what Robben was going to do, where he was gonna go, but that left foot was unstoppable.
Most people who got into football earlier identify Zidane as the player who got them into the sport. Mine was Kaka. Loved the guy. Shame injuries derailed his career later on. He was the marquee player for Orlando City when they became an MLS expansion team
Villa, David Silva and Capdevila were from Valenica.
Ramos and Xabi Alonso were from Real Madrid.
But most have played for Barcelona at some point.
But Bayern Münich and Germany is even more alike.
You need to do a reaction to Robbens goal compilation! It’s insane how he mastered his skill of cutting inside and shooting. He is the best Dutch player since Bergkamp. I would rate him higher than van Persie van Nistelrooy and Sneijder. If you don’t know who these players are, add them to your list.
In the Netherlands we call him the Glass Cannon
Not including robbens 2014 wc campaign hurts my dutch heart
Its always fun and worthwhile to check out old legends, but no matter how many years you study the game, there will always be a comment saying "What!?! You don't know (insert player name)?!? You don't know ball if you dont know (insert player name)!"
So don't put too much pressure on yourself to have to know all former greats. I am a Bayern fan though and Robben was just immense.
You need to look at his goal videos too not just his history.. It's magic~
Sports is like Music mate - there's so many diamonds here and there that we can hardly ever know it all even if we have been obsessed and saturated in the sport.
Dennis Bergkamp, Kaka, Ronalsinho, Johan Cruijff, Ibrahimovic etc etc easy to find video's about them
Since you are going to be on your Players-discovery journey, I went on and check on your channel if I could find a video on Mesut Ozil, and I couldn't find one using the search function. If this is something that is still missing from your Beautiful Game Experience, I'd suggest to check out the man because you're missing out on one heck of a legend. Is vision on the field and quick thinking along side is technique and his skills with the ball made him an assist machine, who could also scores at any point in time. Probably my favourite player of all time!
i think he also has the record for fastest player of all time
11:05 he also said it wrong it’s said as Bayern munik
munik is the english way. the german way is münchen [mʏnçn̩]
Love the merch!!
Simple design but carries so much passion and emotion for the people that love the beautiful game. Definitely gonna grab one for myself.
You should look into the Italian teams during the 2000s if you want to learn more player history. Legendary coaches came to the fore during this period as well.
I would like to see a reaction for Lampard, Hazard, Drogba, Kante or Cech. I love these kinda videos for learning about certain player.
Also since you are from the US, you should check out Freddy Adus story who was the highest earner in MLS when he was only 14. One of the biggest flops in football history.
Arjen Ruben tha the Best Lefty aside Messi of this generation
In 2014 he was the fastest player ever recorded
Arjen Robben’s one footed stiff dribble reminds me of Magic Johnson’s dribble
There's loads of great players that don't get mentioned as much as they should, you'll now see certain players become great and be great (Lamine Yamal and Endrick are 2 that spring to mind, but you'll see more than just those 2 develop into special players)
No. “Bayern Munick” is the English pronunciation.
Also, Kulusevski (though no where near the player Robben was) is actually a similar profile player.
Kaka was a talented midfielder and well-known Christian very outspoken about his faith.
12:00 i mean, to be fair, now we say that they were superstars, and they were don't get me wrong, but they were mostly superstars that were rejected by their clubs, also they were all kinda old, but that team was the reason Mourinho became such a legend, that is the first and only Serie A team to win the treble (because when Serie A was the best league in the world a couple of years prior, it was basically impossible to win the national cup and the league title along side the UCL, too much internal competition, like,for example, AC Milan won the champions league multiple times, while not even being close to winning the league title...that is how good and competitive Serie A was back then).
19:39 that's another name for homework Lewandowski
I wonder where Robben the Succes Coach is hiding?? He has the right mindset to bring clubs to greatness
Okay, some legends for you to know..
Sedorf, Kaka, Eto'o, Drogba, Yaya, Henry, Bergkamp, Oliver Kahn, Zidan, R9, Close, Essien, Van nistelrooy, Peter cech, Vander sar, Zola, Baloteli, Makelele, Kanu... boy, you're in for a ride 😂
Kaka was a brazilian attacking mid , played for Milan and Real Madrid amongst others , and was a balon dor winner. His career finished poorly due to injury but at his best he was one of the best in the world. If you want to check him out a good video is "kaka in his prime"
If you'r having a conversation about best wingers of all time, Robben deserves to be in that.
Robben was the glass messi
Yes research legends , as a nostalgia-merchant those are my favorite videos
The reason why he does this most predictable move in football is very simple... It works. Messi does it all the time, but Robben was famous for this move because at times it seemed it's the only move in his repertoire.
You NEED to react to Kaka hey. He was The MAN before Ronaldo/Messi era. He won the Balon Dor in 2007
I could’ve watched the original, but I watched the one with a fat guy without any knowledge of football
Scientists said that he touched the ball so many times during a dribble that the human brain could not compute all the movements. Also at the time he was one of the fastest players with the ball on feet. I sometimes see him around in Groningen and Bedum. He's just a normal Joe and super approachable. Fc Groningen had more stars in the past. Koeman, Suarez and Virgil van Dijk
There is probably a list as long as Santa's of players you don't know and should react to or learn about.
In the Netherlands we called him the man of glass. Also a few other things but that was mainly frustration. 😁
What was funny about his partnership with Ribery is that they genuinely disliked each other. Normally you get feel-good stories about how good friends such partners are, how they have a feel for each other etc. And the press office of Bayern tried with staged photo ops. And the press kept asking them the standard questions that they then dutifully evaded, but everyone knew what they really felt.
