Hey guys! Sorry to any one confused over why David Villa has suddenly gone bald. I messed up and confused this video with last week's. PS: no it wasn't an april fools joke lol
But he didn’t do it every time so he was not totally predictable (though it’s his signature move). His assists and combination play passing players on the outside is not in many videos.
@@arminius504 yeah but almost every time he took the ball and started running towards the opponent goal from the right wing some how everyone knew what was coming there was inevitably about it and almost every time he delivered it.
One of the best signings Bayern ever made. He was one of the world's best for most of his career. If there was a football Hall of Fame, he would most definitely be in it. What a legend.
@@TheBrandner Today his pricetag would be 100 million or more, without question. Bayern was lucky, that he didn't have the best time in Madrid or he would have cost them 40-50 million at least.
I am from India. My country will never play the world cup. Here everyone's a fan of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar. But I have never seen someone as great as Arjen Robben. He was pure magic while running into the box with lightning speed. That Netherlands team of 2010 and 2014 was unstoppable. That revenge of 5-1 against Spain was one of the best revenge stories of all time in football. Love you Robben
@@pijush1674 And just imagine he was carrying a knock for most of the 2010 one. If he hadn't gotten injured in the friendlies before it we would have won. The 2010 Dutch friendlies before the world cup is some of the best national football I have ever seen played.
That 2014 WC Robben was the best player I have ever seen. The impact he had on the Dutch national team was crazy and he made us really believe that we could win it all
@@pierrotpierrot4768😅😂 that's a bit strange to say the dutch team of 2014 was Holland's best team , robben can claim to be the best player in the history of the dutch national team, but as a team Holland of France 1998 and euro 2000 played some of the best football ever seen by a national team.
So many fond memories of Robbery. I hate to think how unstoppable in Europe we would have been if they'd have been injury-free for the majority of their careers.
As a fan of the Dutch National team, I still feel the sting of Robben one on one with Iker Casias at the 2010 WC final and missing his chance. I was literally on the edge of my seat getting ready to jump for joy at the goal I was sure he was going to score....because after all it was Robben. The goal scoring machine....* sigh *
glad he didnt, that oranje performance vs this spain team was one of the most disgraceful final performances of all time and had nothing to do with football
As a Bayern Munich fan i can tell you that Robben is really loved in Bavaria. Everone here saying hes one of the biggest club legends. The "fans" booing him vs the Netherlands friendly after his missed penatly vs Chelsea were just a small group of idiots. The big big majority knows that Robben was one of the reasons why we had this amazing era. The only thing even i disliked about him was his diving from time to time. He really didnt need that because of his class. His selfish style / not working back was a problem at first but over the years he really started working for the team more. And individually he was just insane. If it wasnt for his injuries im 100% people wouldve talked about Ronaldo, Messi AND Robben. Also insane to always fight back form injuries and actually coming back even stronger .. Robben just loved football and you could always feel that. His amazing goals aswell as his likeable character off the pitch will always be remembered in Bavaria, it would be nice to see him work in the club, he always gave you the feeling to also be a really smart guy who could make it as manager etc.
As someone who struggled alot with injuries when I was doing athletics, I can tell you beeing regularly injured for a couple of years in a row easily breaks you mentally. I have nothing but respect for Robben and his determination and hard work.
I quite remember when I and some other kids in the compound house would choose our very own favorite player and I would always choose Robben. Many of my colleagues from my childhood days would say they prefer Messi dribbling, Ronaldinho dribbling, and so many others but me my options a and b were still the same Robbin style of dribbling, he would take the ball at the edge of his side toes on the most magical left foot and always make my day. My God, this legendary player made me loved and still love the German Bundesliga, even though I'm a Chelsea fan but still got a heart for Bayern Munich because of Robben. I remember that 2018 UCL semis second leg match between Bayern and Madrid when Kroos was asking the ref out of fear to close the game because it was time and Robben and Ribéry was pressuring them on the wings, man it was insane
I remember how incredibly happy I was when Bayern München finally removed the rumors around Ricardo Quaresma coming to Bayern and purchased Arjen Robben from Real Madrid. Ribery, at that time, was the only creative world class player we had that could with one action decide the game. That was enough in the Bundesliga...but not in the champions league. You could immidiately tell...the first game Robben/Ribery played that not only Bundesliga teams would have to now deal with two world class wingers...each with completely different strengths and weaknesses. But still, the most important transfer was Javi Martinez...and moving Lahm behind Robben. Martinez immidiately closed the incredible holes left by having two highly offensive wingers... Lahm gave Robben the security he needed to play risky...knowing he can loose the ball and Lahm will be right there winning it back. In today's football I personally believe a classic defensive 6 is the most important position... tactically. Unfortunately there are thousands of central midfielders that are offensive all-rounders (box to box )...but find me a Dieter Eilts, Marcel Desailly, Javi Martinez, Nicola Berti, Jens Jeremies, Casemiro, Gattuso....a central midfielder that foremost does defending...reading the enemies team and it's offensive play, that tackles...steals the ball and immidiately sends a counter pass upfront, that man marks the enemy teams creative central midfielders, that has tactical intelligence and knows when to aggressively tackle everything that comes near his half....
I learned a lot about robben in this video. I have seen him only in world cup matches, and I loved every second he played. He always make a statement whenever he plays. I really loved his fighting spirit. How he overcomes the toughest opposition and score goals or assist to score goals was a wonder to watch. Short career, but much entertainment provided. We all love you Robben! You are one of the greatest!
I think Robben was the best dutch player of this century. Ahead of Bergkamp, Van Persie, Van Nistelrooy, Sneijder and Van Dijk. Fun fact: When he returned to Groningen as a superstar, he went to every training by bicycle, just like he did when he was a youth player.
Dude your video gave me such a flashback to my childhood! I grew up in bavaria - obviously as a Bayern fan. Really made me recall old times :) like your content man
I still remember the 2014 world cup i was only 9 years old, i was on vacation in Italy and i was a huge fan of the Dutch national team i was watching the penalty shootout against argentina in a pub with a bunch if adults at almost midnight watching Sny Robben and Persie some of the best memories of my youth
I just love the relative simplicity of what makes Robben such a legend. Everyone know what he's going to do, yet it was incredibly difficult to stop him from doing it. I can't think of another player who has one skill perfected quite like that.
still, his best goal imo is not cutting in from the right but sprinting down on the left corner. The one vs france during euro 2008. Amazing goal. Also his contribution to van persies goal in the same game was good, after the great pass by van Nistelrooy.... Man look at those names, what a generation this was in the dutch team. Van Persie Robben Sneijder van der Vaart van Nistelrooy all in one team...
@@Koen030NL for me his best goal was his volley against united in the 2009/10 quarter finals of the champions league. I was a big bayern fan back then and the importance, the setting, everything of that goal was perfect. Another shout is his champions league final goal against dortmund. Not the prettiest but it was definitely his most important and a fitting finish for a great final game.
And they also rejected Huntelaar, van der Vaart and Sneijder. Sneijder became the CL winner right after as well, winning against the Bayern of Robben in the final. Only van der Vaart couldn't be sold in time, partly because his wife had cancer. At the time I was secretly hoping Sneijder would get angry, and Real could make a nagotiation deal with Bayern, switching Ribery (who wanted to go to Real Madrid at the time) for Huntelaar, Sneijder, van der Vaart and Robben, who are all Dutch. On top of that Bayern had a Dutch coach and the world cup came right after and The Netherlands as well as Spain where the favorits (and also ended up in the final).
You guys are just twisting things trying to find an agenda. It's football, players that may not work in certain moments of the team, they don't fit in, they are on a loop of poor performances, a low moment having constant physical issues... and life changes, you can get back on track, find a team that you fit in... Let's not be ridiculous.
@@AnaCamp001 No, Real Madrid first bought all kind of Dutch players but never let them play together despite they were better. Then suddenly they sold them all while buying Ronaldo, Kaka, name them. I think that the Dutch would have become the champion of the world if they all went to Bayern and where used to play together. Especially with Louis van Gaal beïng the trainer from Bayern Munchen. At the same time Real wanted Ribery and visa versa, but couldn't afford them. I think Real Madrid could have made a beautiful deal selling all their Dutch players for Ribery, but they sold them all apart. Don't forget, Ronaldo came to Real Madrid to win the Champions League, Sneijder, Robben, name them left Real Madrid to win the Champions League and succeed before he did.
@@AnaCamp001 What is the conspiracy theory here? This is the past girl, this is history, it's not like I make up things or predict highly unlikely things, this is really what I hoped would happen back then. The Dutch really became the runner up in the world championships of football, Wesley Sneijder really became the champions League winner and partly topscorer during the world cup, Arjan Robben won the CL too and Arjan and Wesley where playing against each other in the CL final in 2010, one with Inter and the other one with Bayern.
Hands down, Arjen Robben has always and will always be my favorite player of the game. The way he’s so unstoppably fast at dribbling and decisive with his shots is just magical, he’s just a weapon. Will always always be my favorite!
As much as I dislike Robben for his antics against Mexico in the 2014 World Cup, no era penal, I can definitely admire his quality. He is very underrated.
as a Mexican myself you just gotta let that shit go, although Mexico has talent we are still missing drive/hunger/chemistry to take us to the next level, unfortunately it seems like this upcoming WC we won’t even pass group stage
Not that it makes much difference but you guys in Mexico should know that a lot of Dutch people (especially Ajax fans) will be rooting for Mexico as well this upcoming WC :) and indeed no era penal..
F robben for what he did to Mexico but I’ve to admit he’s one of my favorite players to watch he’s amazing so lie, hope the Dutch team goes far in this years world cuz and Mexico
It was somewhat of a dive, but also a foolish challenge. What no Mexican will ever mention is that in the first half the Netherlands was denied an obvious penalty. Check out ua-cam.com/video/oog6C51iBkk/v-deo.html from 6.15 minutes
That cutting in is everything, when you now what is coming on your way but still you’re not able to stop it. Just think of it, how terrifying it would be for the goalie.
I didn't really watch too much of Robben. Just some champions league games here and there. I'm quite shocked at his creative numbers I didn't know he has so many assists in some of his great seasons.
It's a shame his return to Groningen didn't work out but good on him for trying. He was apparently really worrying that he was disappointing the fans by being injured so much and not dragging the team to european football or whatever. But the fans didn't really care and just liked him for coming back for a while.
I became a fan of him at the 2010 WC finals, which at extra time, He ran everything He could for scoring the so needed goal. Then I watched him at the UCL finals im 2013 and became a Bayern fan there. My childhood at football was marked by Him so much.
Life of Robben: 1. Born 2. Be Super Talented 3. Be the best Player 4. Make players alongside you even better 5. Get into Ballon D'Or Talking 6. Get Injured 7. Start Again
I do remember the dynamic duo of Arjen Robben + Franck Ribéry, they even got the nickname of Robbery - because they would steal dreams and hope from the opponent. Good old times.
I love Aarjen as a red blooded child of Munich…thx for the joy! Always knowing what’s coming…mostly celebrating the effort. To be honest the love had to grow but now he‘s family - not bad for a Dutch😜
robben was when he played one of the most important playeers from bayern and every loss made him stronger they shuld have won the finale 2012 but they missed so many shots and robben missed the penalty :( but he was a key point this season
as a bayern fan since 1997 i have to say i had by far the most fun watching bayern when robben (and ribery) were at the club, absolutely magical times.
I love this guy he was so predictable in terms of cutting in on his left foot but unstoppable. You know what he will do but you can't prevent it that is what I call genius 🎊
@@ottomanpapyrus9365 He also did that sometimes. If the defender really went all in to defend his predictable left cut .... he would simply do a right cut first and had even more room te execute his final shot. There is a reason he was considered unstoppable.... And it was not because every defender who ever tried to stop him was an idiot. Truth is they all knew what he was going to do but even the best defenders in the world (literally) never found a way to trully stop his signature move.
with such a back story still at his last 7 matches for FC Groningen ... if it was possible to go to a match on a ordinairy bike he would. He was after al the glamour still just a human. if you would meet him right now you would not even say he was a well known person, but your casual neigbour! If you want to have a chat with him when u see him walk by, he will almost for sure give u the chat u wanted ! As a 15 years old kid wandering around close to the former training fields of FC Groningen (during summer break or something) robben was there with some back then (now former) FC Groningen players just training. (one of them was also Virgil van Dijk) I asked if i could join them to kick some balls and train with them as i was a big football fan. Robben did not even needed to think he said get on the pitch! The story you told is great! but there is so much more what robben makes robben!
Arjen Robben is a Legend, I remember Sir Alex Ferguson telling Jupp Heynckes that Robben single handily won them the champions League in 2013 after Hynckes failed nominating him for Balon d'or...Even most Dutch players then, Van dervat, Van persie told him to leave Bayern because of the insult...Remember how he cried when saluting the fans ater scoring the goal against Dortmund in the finals
Robben had a pretty similar experience like bale. Both are an explosive winger but too bad injuries keep holding they back. Its a shame robben only got to hit his peak just for a short amount of time but everytime he got the chance, he totally demolished his opponents.
I only wish we could of done more with the great group of six Dutch players we had on the team. We had big Ruud vN, Robben, Sneijder, Rafa vdV, Huntelaar and Drenthe.
Please don't mention Drenthe in that row of players. That man has been so overhyped all his life. He played one good World Cup for youths, and 2 good matches for Feyenoord, that's about it.
Dude I love your videos and your approach to factual content without adding too many opinions, yet still giving it your own spin. Is there any chance we could get a Joel Matip video? He's got an interesting history, as well as playing well for a decent Schalke side, to becoming one of the best defenders in the Premier league via a free transfer. He also was written off as a flop and called a man made of glass by the English media, but I like to think he's proved them all wrong by now!
Robben's left foot and the ball control is more than enough for 2 legs . He just uses the right one to stand a dream of a player and a certified legend .
I genuinely believe United would have another Champions League if it wasn't for this unit. 2010. We're coasting. Bayern are doing nothing. (They reached the final that season in the end, but looked dead and buried.) Suddenly, last minute (I think), BOOM! Robben cuts in, lets loose, they're through. And I had to stand up in my living room and just clap.
One of the most underrated players in my opinion. I actually had the pleasure of meatiness him once, when playing against his son in a Munich based youth tournament. I really cool dude and a truly disrespected baller.
Robbery made the modern FCBayern possible, they were the most important signings since UliHoeneß Every single Bayern fan has a debt to repay and we will by never forgetting what they did and telling our Grandchildren about the time Robben&Ribery transformed the club
If i remember correctly , Robben once stated that he could definitely opt for more muscle in his physique so that the injuries would deplete and get to play more for Bayern and Netherlands but he also spoke that his most important feat was his speed.And such speed could only be achieved by the physique he had always had ever since day one in his professional run.If you're crazy about your craft you can also have some beautifully crazy ideas.His precision and technique in all of his calculated shots in my opinion are also the things that made coaches always trust him despite refusing to grow muscle.After all we could say Robben is Speed + Precision , so that's a very very good combo for the offensive.

Robben proves how important it can be for your career to choose the right club.
also proved that hard work pays off. aka discipline, training whenever possible pure dedication to and for the sport.

The man was like a delicate artwork made of glass. Phenomenal to look at, so easily breakable by the slightest touch.
Robben is that rare player who has one move, you know it's coming, but good luck stopping it....

@@AAb-xy6et Yes, i was right, you have litearally gone mad. Keep going with your conspiracy theories. Bye.
@@AnaCamp001 What is the conspiracy theory here? This is the past girl, this is history, it's not like I make up things or predict highly unlikely things, this is really what I hoped would happen back then. The Dutch really became the runner up in the world championships of football, Wesley Sneijder really became the champions League winner and partly topscorer during the world cup, Arjan Robben won the CL too and Arjan and Wesley where playing against each other in the CL final in 2010, one with Inter and the other one with Bayern.
I was always very scared for any team that had to play against robben and ribery.
The title lol
Hands down, Arjen Robben has always and will always be my favorite player of the game. The way he’s so unstoppably fast at dribbling and decisive with his shots is just magical, he’s just a weapon. Will always always be my favorite!
As much as I dislike Robben for his antics against Mexico in the 2014 World Cup, no era penal, I can definitely admire his quality. He is very underrated.
as a Mexican myself you just gotta let that shit go, although Mexico has talent we are still missing drive/hunger/chemistry to take us to the next level, unfortunately it seems like this upcoming WC we won’t even pass group stage
Not that it makes much difference but you guys in Mexico should know that a lot of Dutch people (especially Ajax fans) will be rooting for Mexico as well this upcoming WC :) and indeed no era penal..
@@jhiediet appreciate the honesty with the no era penal comment, and Robben was a special player indeed,very much underrated
F robben for what he did to Mexico but I’ve to admit he’s one of my favorite players to watch he’s amazing so lie, hope the Dutch team goes far in this years world cuz and Mexico
It was somewhat of a dive, but also a foolish challenge. What no Mexican will ever mention is that in the first half the Netherlands was denied an obvious penalty. Check out ua-cam.com/video/oog6C51iBkk/v-deo.html from 6.15 minutes
OGs know that the title originally was David Villa
True lol
Robbens Aura / Present / Emotions on the Field is still untouched. People who hated him had biggest respect for him.
Robben is truly a legend 🙌 in football.
One of Netherlands 🇳🇱 super start 🌟 .
This is the best video I’ve watched this month. Thanks bro you are king
Robben with hair it’s just strange, even as a 17 year old his hair line was receding 🤣🤣
Yeah Robben, Wayne Rooney, Iniesta hair is not there thing the balder they are more vicious they are.
Zidane, Pep, and Robben they can sport bald head and still look good. Rooney? No
@@iganpparamarta8813 Rooney was 19 and balding and got hair plug at 23 and now balding….. again at 34 🤣🤣🤣
As a Dutchman we loved Robben it was just such a shame he was so injury prone.
That cutting in is everything, when you now what is coming on your way but still you’re not able to stop it. Just think of it, how terrifying it would be for the goalie.
and for the full back who's tasked to mark him.
possibly his style of playing that involved lots of fast dribbling and speed factored to his injuries, best player of all time in right wing position
Better than Messi??? And Figo, Garrincha and Best?
@@loukanjima-bechard7180 messi plays deep in midfield too most of the time. most of robbens play is on the right.
@@mrsimsv still outscoring strikers for fun, seems like a walk in the park for the GOAT.
@@loukanjima-bechard7180 yes better than all of them at right wing except messi
@Double Z ye what a clown
I didn't really watch too much of Robben. Just some champions league games here and there. I'm quite shocked at his creative numbers I didn't know he has so many assists in some of his great seasons.
It's a shame his return to Groningen didn't work out but good on him for trying. He was apparently really worrying that he was disappointing the fans by being injured so much and not dragging the team to european football or whatever. But the fans didn't really care and just liked him for coming back for a while.
I became a fan of him at the 2010 WC finals, which at extra time, He ran everything He could for scoring the so needed goal. Then I watched him at the UCL finals im 2013 and became a Bayern fan there. My childhood at football was marked by Him so much.
robbens time at madrid doesnt get spoken about enough
Fr
Great vid! Imagine he didnt have to deal with injuries..
Such a class player! He was one of the best, period!
Life of Robben:
1. Born
2. Be Super Talented
3. Be the best Player
4. Make players alongside you even better
5. Get into Ballon D'Or Talking
6. Get Injured
7. Start Again
When you say start again, you mean be born again
My fav player growing up as a chelsea fan I wish we never sold him to madrid
I do remember the dynamic duo of Arjen Robben + Franck Ribéry, they even got the nickname of Robbery - because they would steal dreams and hope from the opponent. Good old times.
I love Aarjen as a red blooded child of Munich…thx for the joy!
Always knowing what’s coming…mostly celebrating the effort.
To be honest the love had to grow but now he‘s family - not bad for a Dutch😜
Amazing video🔥 Good job dude…for real❤️
The Man who made me a football fan. Great video!
Robben has always looked 40 years even in his early years lol
He was my favorite player for a long time and will probably be it for another long time
Robben had his street on the field where no one was able to mark him🔥🔥called the Robben street
Wow what a career 👏 😳 🙌 👌 😍 👍 nice one Robben 👍
One of my favourite players of all time, i think he was massively underrated,
robben was when he played one of the most important playeers from bayern and every loss made him stronger they shuld have won the finale 2012 but they missed so many shots and robben missed the penalty :( but he was a key point this season
hi from the netherlands, big w for making this he is soo underratted
as a bayern fan since 1997 i have to say i had by far the most fun watching bayern when robben (and ribery) were at the club, absolutely magical times.
I love this guy he was so predictable in terms of cutting in on his left foot but unstoppable. You know what he will do but you can't prevent it that is what I call genius 🎊
Why not run right, before he even cuts left?
@@ottomanpapyrus9365 He also did that sometimes. If the defender really went all in to defend his predictable left cut .... he would simply do a right cut first and had even more room te execute his final shot. There is a reason he was considered unstoppable.... And it was not because every defender who ever tried to stop him was an idiot. Truth is they all knew what he was going to do but even the best defenders in the world (literally) never found a way to trully stop his signature move.
I like ur videos man. Keep it up
Everybody used real and barca in fifa but from fifa 13 Robben drew me to Bayern. To this day in Eafc25 i use Bayern. Dude was a beast
with such a back story still at his last 7 matches for FC Groningen ... if it was possible to go to a match on a ordinairy bike he would. He was after al the glamour still just a human. if you would meet him right now you would not even say he was a well known person, but your casual neigbour! If you want to have a chat with him when u see him walk by, he will almost for sure give u the chat u wanted !
As a 15 years old kid wandering around close to the former training fields of FC Groningen (during summer break or something) robben was there with some back then (now former) FC Groningen players just training. (one of them was also Virgil van Dijk) I asked if i could join them to kick some balls and train with them as i was a big football fan. Robben did not even needed to think he said get on the pitch!
The story you told is great! but there is so much more what robben makes robben!
he always looked 30 😅😂😂
My favorite footballer of all time!!!!🏃♂️⚽️⚽️⚽️🎖🎖🎖🥅🏐🏐🏐
Love that he did so much, you even skipped over the 5-1 group stage match against Spain. Absolute humiliation of the Spanish defence
As a United fan, although it was painful, that volley goal against us in the quarter final was pure filth
Arjen Robben is a Legend, I remember Sir Alex Ferguson telling Jupp Heynckes that Robben single handily won them the champions League in 2013 after Hynckes failed nominating him for Balon d'or...Even most Dutch players then, Van dervat, Van persie told him to leave Bayern because of the insult...Remember how he cried when saluting the fans ater scoring the goal against Dortmund in the finals
Robben had a pretty similar experience like bale. Both are an explosive winger but too bad injuries keep holding they back. Its a shame robben only got to hit his peak just for a short amount of time but everytime he got the chance, he totally demolished his opponents.
Great video, thank you. How about a video on the great Klinsmann??
Defenders know what he is gonna do. But one thing is knowing what he is gonna do, another being able to stop it.
I only wish we could of done more with the great group of six Dutch players we had on the team. We had big Ruud vN, Robben, Sneijder, Rafa vdV, Huntelaar and Drenthe.
Drenthe ? He is a DJ for the last 10 years :)
Please don't mention Drenthe in that row of players. That man has been so overhyped all his life. He played one good World Cup for youths, and 2 good matches for Feyenoord, that's about it.
Van Persie?
Dont forget Van Der Sar
Of all of those ruud sneijder and roben are the only ines that i can consider good
One of my fav footballers ever. Absolute legend
The only regret was when he missed the open goal in the world cup finals. But no lie he was elegant and graceful..
It was partially saved by Cassillas otherwise it could have went in
What a great - and funny quote - to open this video with. I must get it on a TShirt!
*David Villa is kinda different, not gonna lie 😂😂*
Robben POV:
option 1: Cut inside and curl the ball in
option 2: Cut outside and go for a cross
title got messed up + first + love the content
When he was in chelsea he was so scary for me as i was United fan lol
Dude I love your videos and your approach to factual content without adding too many opinions, yet still giving it your own spin. Is there any chance we could get a Joel Matip video? He's got an interesting history, as well as playing well for a decent Schalke side, to becoming one of the best defenders in the Premier league via a free transfer. He also was written off as a flop and called a man made of glass by the English media, but I like to think he's proved them all wrong by now!
Robben was a class player. I did not even notice he really suffered from injuries…in terms of injuries I always think of Bryan Robson.
Running at 100 mph cuts in Robben scores 🤣
Good video bro. Enjoy ur work man.
Thanks man!
Robben's left foot and the ball control is more than enough for 2 legs . He just uses the right one to stand a dream of a player and a certified legend .
You always knew what Robben would do but no one could stop him!
I genuinely believe United would have another Champions League if it wasn't for this unit.
2010. We're coasting. Bayern are doing nothing. (They reached the final that season in the end, but looked dead and buried.)
Suddenly, last minute (I think), BOOM! Robben cuts in, lets loose, they're through.
And I had to stand up in my living room and just clap.
Could be 2-3 times ballon d’or winner if he just wasn’t injured all the time
One of the most underrated players in my opinion. I actually had the pleasure of meatiness him once, when playing against his son in a Munich based youth tournament. I really cool dude and a truly disrespected baller.
Ruben and Ribery after that happened to be completely friends, you can see this from the videos and games that they had together 😶
Robbery made the modern FCBayern possible, they were the most important signings since UliHoeneß
Every single Bayern fan has a debt to repay and we will by never forgetting what they did and telling our Grandchildren about the time Robben&Ribery transformed the club
not many things in life are certain. But Robben cutting inside, shooting with his left and scoring is.
And his famous dive was amazing .
If i remember correctly , Robben once stated that he could definitely opt for more muscle in his physique so that the injuries would deplete and get to play more for Bayern and Netherlands but he also spoke that his most important feat was his speed.And such speed could only be achieved by the physique he had always had ever since day one in his professional run.If you're crazy about your craft you can also have some beautifully crazy ideas.His precision and technique in all of his calculated shots in my opinion are also the things that made coaches always trust him despite refusing to grow muscle.After all we could say Robben is Speed + Precision , so that's a very very good combo for the offensive.
The Lee qoat sticks with me. It's the little things that where it shows. As a musician. I do music ear training every day because of that qoat.
This guy introduced me to the finesse shot
Thank you for this video.
One of the greatest of all time ♥️
