@@Overhemd We do. Not many seem to see it or recognize it.. Currently he plays (mostly) on the left side in the national team and is a staggering 193cm tall much like Aubameyang, slender and speedy. However im talking about Cody Gakpo. Gakpo may not be as explosive as Arjen was.. But he has the potential to grow to the same heights. Not to mention, Xavi Simons is sitting in the same boat boasting some fine skills and potential.
Great video!! Robben was honestly one of the more underrated players in our generation. People from today’s generation won’t understand how much of a talent he was.
Guess most football fans recognized the amount of his talent. Just got the image of being injured all the time and a diver - which unfortunately was true. But he got to know his body better and got a bit away from diving in the later years of his career, which made him a very appreciated player in Germany and the Netherlands at least. Fans also recognized he wasn't injured through a lack of professionality, it seemed to be genetics. He was known for beeing a hard worker in training. I'm not a Bayner fan, but from Germany and I totally enjoyed watching Robbery, especially in CL.
I think it was because of the injuries. Without the injuries, he would be in the conversation with Messi and Ronaldo. He’s still one of the all time greats for me.
@@pritishsirkar Messi and Ronaldo in from 10 yrs ago were a very different level. Even the healthiest Robben I remember is one level below. But between normal humans, he's in a row with Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Neuer, Ribery, Ramos, Gerrard, Rooney, Henry and so on. Prime Ronaldinho, Zidane, Ronaldo 9, Maradonna, Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff ...hard to compare, but these are more in a discussion of Messi/Ronaldo-Level for me.
Im a Bayern Munich fan and Robben was just amazing to watch. Not just from a football perspective but also how he always fought his way back after injuries. You know how most say nowadays that "well this player has been out with an injury for a while, you cant expect him to do well instantly" - well Robben did just that, over and over again. Even tho his injuries were usually really bad, which would mess up some players a lot. His will and power helped him succeed and on the pitch he was just smarter then his opponents. Yea he was kind of a one trick pony but in that he was perfection. Even tho i loved Ribery but Robben surely had a bigger impact on our success then Rib had, nonetheless this duo was just a dream to watch, i miss them a lot. Considering his impact, numbers but also his injuries you can be sure that if he wasnt made of "glass" he wouldve been in the category with Ronaldo and Messi, im 100% sure about that.
Yes! I am 22 years old, I watched Robben play for around ten years. So many beautiful moments. The CL 09/10, the CL 12/13, but also 14/15. Then all the DFB Pokal decisive contributions, so many Bundesliga games. What a player!
@@user-sm9zs7sc8u Truly a beast. he pretty much single handedly carried us to the final vs inter milan, our team that year wasnt great but we had Robben saving us over and over again. Monster goal vs Florentina, Monster goal vs United.
Bayern supporter here. The years 2010 through 2012 were absolutely brutal for us; especially for Robben, who also suffered losses on the international stage. Bayern supporters were getting very frustrated with him during that time. What I admire most about him is that he never EVER gave up. With all of the losses in finals and all of the injuries, he never always came back and gave 100% performances. In 2013, with that goal in the Wembley, he regained the trust of all the Bayern faithful and reshaped the history of the club moving forward. One of my favorite players EVER! Always got me off of my seat. Crazy left foot. The true Flying Dutchman, Arjen Robben. Thank you for the wonderful video. I know it took a lot of effort and research. Thank you for highlighting the legacy of this amazing player.
Stop the cap, there was never a time Bayern fans were frustrated with robben... We all knew he was injury prone and thankful he was fit for the most part with us... Please stop saying trash... We were never frustrated with our beloved no 10. The 2013 winner was more like a "finally, he did it" moment... Again, we were never frustrated with our no.10...
As a Dutch kid growing up, Robben was easily my favorite player. He was just so iconic for the Netherlands, and he clearly had the talent to match the very best in the world. It's such a shame his muscles were made of styrofoam, we'd all be looking at his generation very differently if he was more reliable.
Robben is actually my favorite player ever! I got very excited everytime he got the ball. This will sound silly, but for me, he was 80% of my initial motivation to learn Dutch. Which by now I can speak very decently! Arjen Robben, great great player !
One of the most unique players of all time! The way he moved, handled the ball and his signature curved left foot shot. We will never see someone play exactly like him. Absolute legend! There was only one whing he should ve stood away from. And that was penalties. Anyways, i would ve loved it if this great dutch generation around him would ve won an international title. Greetings from Germany.
We owe him a lot. Arien Robben was the highlight in the Bundesliga, he was feared and loved. Wonderful player and a great human being. I never thought saying this about a dutch player. We miss this times and wish Arien Robben the very best for his life. Thank you so much!
@@benedikt7218 those days are over, now in the summer there are so many people from Germany here at the beach so its seems they really like the netherlands now.
Owner of this channel should be employed by fifa. Very very articulate. There’s no comeback fighter in competitive football like Robben. Man refuses to give up. Goat 🐐
I remember playing championship manager 2001-02. he was the youngest player there with a great overall stat and high potential. I feel so old now, he retired after a long career.
I must say his footwork was incredible, the first time I saw him play scoring goals in Chelsea.. damn the accuracy and long-range curler shots!! Arjen Robben, truly a legend.
It’s so funny how many times the opposition knew exactly what was about to happen yet they could only stand and watch. Will always be one of my all time favorites. Him and Ribery defined an entire generation at Bayern.
because when you cut in the ball is on your outer foot, thus defenders have a much harder chance getting the ball because it is further away, as well as if he keeps pushing the ball the defenders keep lagging him by one second.
When I was 8 years old, Robben was my fav footballer. I didn't understand anything about the game, but me as a kid just felt drawn to him somehow. So happy he still gets recognition (together with his duos too). When I grew up I finally understood why he was so good. So happy you made a vid on him.
He frustrated me like no other player at Bayern during his time. Obviously very very talented, he did almost nothing else than his famous move. he seldom backchecked, he almost never went to the baseline (which kept his defender high and created spaceproblems for the striker and the central midfielders). he stood on the right side of the box at 16-20m and waited for the ball. then he worked his magic. its really incredible what he contributed with that little variance. amazing.
if he wasn't injured all the time he would be right up there with Messi and Ronaldo. He had such a big impact on NL national team games when he played. With or without Robben was a world of difference. Because Robben alone kept 2/3 defenders busy at all times, giving space to other players that way. We miss such a player now
He’s still won the Dutch league, the English league, the Spanish league and the German league as well as the champions league. Can any other player say that?
I saw him once in the Netherlands with PSV and couldn't believe my eyes..his dribbling was incredible..it was almost funny how helpless the defenders were
"The man made out of glass", it's a miracle that he even had the career, he did have. It all comes down to his incredible professionalism, you could see him occasionally with an ice vest right after he got subbed of and we all remember his long sleeve pants and shirt to keep his muscle on temperature while on the pitch. Still one of the biggest "What if's".
we have to give here Munich credits which really focused on his vulnerability and as I remember right gave him special trainings to deal with that better. Hard to say it was the main point but he really was ok most of the time at Munich in the major of his time there. There was some writing about that in German press, that's why I remember it.
@@MT-su2lq yeah, bayern münchens team doctor at the time was one of (if not outright the) best sports doctors worldwide. usain bolt also went to dr. müller-wohlfahrt
His ambition was unmatched, but what I loved most about him was his honesty and humbleness. After he ended his career he could be seen managing his son's youth team in Munich, chatting with other team's coaches and parents at the sideline. I also remember his first appeareance for Bayern when he was subbed on against Wolfsburg. Something like him hasn't been seen in the Bundesliga before (at least not in my lifetime). A truely great of the sport.
Robben was a football monster, like Roberto Carlos. i really , really hate it if bayern munich wins, because simply i hate bayern munich, but i celebrated every Arjen Robben`s goal. They was many, brutal powerful, and so beautiful.
this vid was awesome! robben has always been one of my fav players. i rarely see football vids that track entire career progress of a single player. your retelling play-by-play made it 10x more interesting too
Es war der 28. August 2009. Er schlug ein wie eine Bombe, Bayern hat eine 9. Er kam aus Madrid und schon ein Tag später, stand er auf dem Platz. Mit der Nummer 10 da. Debüt gegen Wolfsburg, wer hätte schon gedacht? Er kam in Halbzeit zwei und schoss direkt einen Doppelpack. Die Rede is von Arjen Mr. Wembley Robben... My favourite player of all time EASILY
@@loyal4theway159it is a chronic injury If Ronaldo continued to play with his explosive style it would have gotten serious that's why he changed the style
@@Mowreets That phrasing is not ambiguous. No one calls continental football like the champions league "International". Those are two different things. Don't blame others for your lack of understanding.
I never knew Robben was destroyed by injuries that much in his career,so sad from a top notch player,he’ll always be remembered as one of the greats and n football ⚽️
In the Netherlands it became a bit of a running gag, he was nicknamed 'the man of glass' cause he was always injured. Someone even made a website answering the question whether or not Arjen Robben was injured at that moment, where the answer was more often 'yes' than 'no'. Actually, just checked: that website still exists😅 In case you were wondering: he's not injured at the moment
Excellent, excellent summary! Did the research, found the footage and the newspaper headlines, awesome job. The only two details I miss (especially in the context of 'not being a man for the big games') are two of his most beautiful goals: the solo at the World Cup vs Spain in 2014 where he out sprints everyone and the game winning goal at RB Leipzig in 16-17 in an absolute cracker of a game (Bayern won 5-4 having trailed 4-2 until the 83rd minute, Robben assisted on 4-3 with a shot that hit the crossbar and was tapped in, then scored a spectacular solo goal from the right wing in the 95th minute to win a critical game). Those and the volley vs ManUtd are goals I'll never forget ArjenRobben #AbsoluteLegend
I remember being proud of some talented players like him representing the Netherlands back then. These days i feel like we lack a lot when it comes to good players. 😢
Robben would have been the GOAT if it wasn't for all his injuries. In the Netherlands we called him "De man van glas" (translated to the man from glass, as he was always injured).
Ah Robben, always sad to think about how good he wouldve been with less injuries. Still a legend. As a dutchie i know he started leftwing, and had way more then 1 move. His right foot wasnt even that bad. Its just the usual move he did was undefendable and he kept scoring cus his left shot was amazing, so why even bother doing anything else. Undefendable winger
He actually was also a talented tennis player. When we trained together in regional practise we often would also play some soccer. (Us being 10 years old). After some time we found out it was most fair if we made 2 teams: 1 of Arjen alone vs 7 others + the trainer. And even then he often managed to win. He had massive feeling for the ball. I remember the coach telling him that eventhough he could have been a decent Dutch tennis player (he was probably the best player in the group), he should follow his football career.
I'm glad Robben its being discussed nowadays, He always played for a good team but the difference was that he made that team good and not vice versa. Such an impactful player that he could have won the Balon D'or but you just couldn't compete with Messi and Ronaldo...
To say everyone, everybody including the coaches, the reff and other officials, the spectators on stand, the TV viewers , both opposing players on pitch, and of course the goalkeeper and even fifa, eufa and FA'S all knew he's going to only do just that move all to his retirement and no one can stop the move plus all those mesmerising goalsssssss
My favourite player ever. I watched him smoke my team and before kickoff uou already knew he would cut in and score outside the box and despite knowing that, he still did it. Twice! Bayern changed their entire formation just to accomodate for him. I’m not sure if you guys knew this but he changed his running form to prevent injury which is his signature stutter stepping but this made his laterally quick which is how he became so damn deadly at Bayern
The fc Groningen pictures of 16 year old Robben looks allot like a 36 year old Wayne Rooney. And Rooney didnt exactly age well. Jokes aside the raw quality of this guy is amazing! Such a good career, ill never understand why Chelsea let him leave in his prime ... Or even madrid for that matter. His Bayern Munich time was just unbelievable to watch
Come let’s take this guy to 1k subs, for his channel to be monetise so he can start eating the fruit of his labour. Great content, Robben is one of my favourite players from the last 15 years
To come back from all those injuries shows dedication and mental strength. If only his body would be as strong as his will. Also a great guy, down to earth and approachable. You'll often see him in Groningen or his birthplace Bedum on a bike going to Fc Groningen, his childhood football club Bedum and even sometimes at his old elementary school were my son now goes to school with a wall with signed shirts of all the teams he played for.
You know what's crazy? My mom knows Robben because they both grew up in the same village called Bedum. Robben's father was my mom's gym teacher, and my mom used to babysit Robben's little sister. He once made an appearance at my local football club VV Omlandia, and Robben instantly recognized my mom. That moment really hit as a core memory, and instantly made my mom 100x times cooler to me xD. I was 11 at the time, about 12 years ago.
He made me love football from a really really young age and was the reason why i always wanted to play football. Especially since i’m left footed as well
he had great speed and dribbling plus shot power is what seperated him from the rest he was unique, i enjoyed using him in FIFA alot because he was the only player in fifa to have a unique speedy playstyle
Robben was like our war champion. He was always injured, but when he healed and he returned to the Dutch national team during a match, everyone was always cheering like mad

He is not underrated by football fans, only by youtube sheep like you
This is a world class recap, I wish robben can watch this. Good work bros
Very well edited video! Glad I ran into it! Good luck in the future!
Thanks !
Bro you videos are so well made it’s crazy how you only have 100+ subs
Keep up the good work👏
Was also a great diver i think that should be mentioned too!
Robben Forever Legend
Majority of His Goals are World Class
Excellent, excellent summary! Did the research, found the footage and the newspaper headlines, awesome job. The only two details I miss (especially in the context of 'not being a man for the big games') are two of his most beautiful goals: the solo at the World Cup vs Spain in 2014 where he out sprints everyone and the game winning goal at RB Leipzig in 16-17 in an absolute cracker of a game (Bayern won 5-4 having trailed 4-2 until the 83rd minute, Robben assisted on 4-3 with a shot that hit the crossbar and was tapped in, then scored a spectacular solo goal from the right wing in the 95th minute to win a critical game). Those and the volley vs ManUtd are goals I'll never forget
ArjenRobben #AbsoluteLegend
In his prime, easily one of the top 3 best players in the world
I remember being proud of some talented players like him representing the Netherlands back then. These days i feel like we lack a lot when it comes to good players. 😢
Mentaliity of Robben is amazing, so many injuries and preforms on the field 💪
Really well told, gj man you got talent. Everything was on point and well summarized without leaving out crucial things.
I don't usually watch football since it bores the heck outta me but this video is pretty good, you have potential to make it big.
We can’t forget tha greats. Keep these videos going
This channel deserves waaaaaaay more subscribers! Great channel.
He should have won the ballon d’or in 2013. He totally deserved it.
they ended up splitting the votes between half the Bayern squad in 2013
Nice video. Appreciate the effort you put into it to admire this hero.
A formidable player and a treasured individual here in my hometown of Groningen.
Robben would have been the GOAT if it wasn't for all his injuries. In the Netherlands we called him "De man van glas" (translated to the man from glass, as he was always injured).
Nobody is talking about how good the narration is
Ah Robben, always sad to think about how good he wouldve been with less injuries. Still a legend. As a dutchie i know he started leftwing, and had way more then 1 move. His right foot wasnt even that bad. Its just the usual move he did was undefendable and he kept scoring cus his left shot was amazing, so why even bother doing anything else. Undefendable winger
Robben and Ribery deserved world best title at some point in their careers, if not for the Messi and Ronaldo conspiracy
Fantastic tribute for one of the game's greatest ever wingers
Once robben cut in from the rw you know the goal was coming next 🔥👌🏾 Long live the Dutch legend
He actually was also a talented tennis player. When we trained together in regional practise we often would also play some soccer. (Us being 10 years old). After some time we found out it was most fair if we made 2 teams: 1 of Arjen alone vs 7 others + the trainer. And even then he often managed to win.
He had massive feeling for the ball. I remember the coach telling him that eventhough he could have been a decent Dutch tennis player (he was probably the best player in the group), he should follow his football career.
I'm glad Robben its being discussed nowadays, He always played for a good team but the difference was that he made that team good and not vice versa. Such an impactful player that he could have won the Balon D'or but you just couldn't compete with Messi and Ronaldo...
Was really hoping to see more analysis of play as your title implied to me. Enjoyed the career summary somewhat
The algorithm has chosen you
To say everyone, everybody including the coaches, the reff and other officials, the spectators on stand, the TV viewers , both opposing players on pitch, and of course the goalkeeper and even fifa, eufa and FA'S all knew he's going to only do just that move all to his retirement and no one can stop the move plus all those mesmerising goalsssssss
My favourite player ever. I watched him smoke my team and before kickoff uou already knew he would cut in and score outside the box and despite knowing that, he still did it. Twice!
Bayern changed their entire formation just to accomodate for him.
I’m not sure if you guys knew this but he changed his running form to prevent injury which is his signature stutter stepping but this made his laterally quick which is how he became so damn deadly at Bayern
He recently ran a full marathon, cause he just loves running! The man is and always will be a true sportsman.
A crime to mention Robben without Ribery
Robbery
My classmate now delivers pizzas to the guy, since he lives in his city. Great guy seemingly.
Amazing video. Such a underated youtuber. Hope you get the famr you deserve.
This channel has great potential. Keep up the good work 👏
13:57 it was at this moment that Lewa decided he had to join bayern
The fc Groningen pictures of 16 year old Robben looks allot like a 36 year old Wayne Rooney. And Rooney didnt exactly age well. Jokes aside the raw quality of this guy is amazing! Such a good career, ill never understand why Chelsea let him leave in his prime ... Or even madrid for that matter. His Bayern Munich time was just unbelievable to watch
Come let’s take this guy to 1k subs, for his channel to be monetise so he can start eating the fruit of his labour.
Great content, Robben is one of my favourite players from the last 15 years
To come back from all those injuries shows dedication and mental strength. If only his body would be as strong as his will. Also a great guy, down to earth and approachable. You'll often see him in Groningen or his birthplace Bedum on a bike going to Fc Groningen, his childhood football club Bedum and even sometimes at his old elementary school were my son now goes to school with a wall with signed shirts of all the teams he played for.
He the hero of my home town, and I am very proud of that ❤
Saw this man at tennis practice 2 months ago super nice dude
You know what's crazy? My mom knows Robben because they both grew up in the same village called Bedum. Robben's father was my mom's gym teacher, and my mom used to babysit Robben's little sister. He once made an appearance at my local football club VV Omlandia, and Robben instantly recognized my mom. That moment really hit as a core memory, and instantly made my mom 100x times cooler to me xD. I was 11 at the time, about 12 years ago.
Only injuries could stop him! Amazingly great, underrated player.
Yeah sadly injuries destroyed his career
He made me love football from a really really young age and was the reason why i always wanted to play football. Especially since i’m left footed as well
youre blowing up my brother, good job
He's from my hometown and I kid you not, this guy is a regarded a hero here. FC Groningen is still very close to my heart
Too bad his goal against Spain, WC 2014, isn't in this clip.. 🤤
Great video man
👏👏👏👏👏 That year he was supposed to be player of the year!
He's one of the best right wingers of all time
Robben was a glass statue, absolutely beautiful but oh so fragile.
I really love this boy 😢he was underrated 😢
Legend. One of the best Dutch players ever. Very close to Cruijff.
Nice to know why he was pants at Cheksea. At Bayern he has been fantastic!
greatness lies here
Imagine if Ronaldo and Robben both played together at Man United. Deadly Combo🔥
he had great speed and dribbling plus shot power is what seperated him from the rest he was unique, i enjoyed using him in FIFA alot because he was the only player in fifa to have a unique speedy playstyle
To talk about that Spain team and not mention Iniesta is quite ballsy
