ARJEN ROBBEN

Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben has said that the club cannot talk about titles at the moment as they have simply not been good enough since the start of the season. The Bavarian giants have dominated the Bundesliga with seven-straight league titles and the current campaign sees them struggling with already a nine-point deficit to league leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Amidst this, a number of Bayern players have voiced their disappointment and Robben, who is one of the club’s longest-serving stars admits that the club can focus on titles for the timebeing, he said: “We can’t talk about titles at the moment, because we simply aren’t good enough for that. I’m in my tenth season at Bayern and don’t know if I’ve ever experienced it like this before: every day, something new comes out. It’s not about soccer anymore, but only about secondary things.”

Arjen Robben reckons it’s not appropriate for Bayern Munich to talk about the Bundesliga title at the moment because they have just not played well enough to earn a right to talk. They would have had that right if they were at the top of the table, but currently they are not.

Munich, at this stage, is placed at no. 5 in the standings which is quite unfamiliar to them because they are so used to being at the top. They have been the champions of the German top tier for the previous six seasons on the bounce. Read more »

Dutch winger ArjenRobben has had an illustrious career.

Despite his fitness affecting him, he remains one of the most prominent players in his position in the history of the game. The Bayern Munich star is not sure of remaining in Germany for long as he eyes a return to his native.

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid star wants to return to the Netherlands after his career so he might not commit to further play time at the Allianz Arena, according to reports. He had won various titles in his home country, England, Spain and Germany. On the international stage, he has been exceptional as well.

Mr Cut-inside as he is fondly called is revered for his killer left foot. He cuts from the right wing and buries the ball at the back of the net often. The 33-year old player might call time on his career at the end of this season. He scored 13 goals and created 49 chances last season. While he can still play on, he is inclined to consider a move back home. Read more »

Bayern Munich winger ArjenRobben remains critical of the standard of refereeing in the quarter final fixture against Real Madrid.

The game was an exciting one to see as both top sides competed to make the last four in Europe’s elite competition.

Real went into the match with an advantage after securing a 2-1 finish in Germany the previous week. The German contingent was not at their peak as they had injured stars sidelined. Javi Martinez was red carded before Real went on to win using their advantage.

Bayern came with a strong mentality in the return leg in Spain but Arturo Vidal, who missed a penalty kick in the previous leg, was sent off. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in alleged offside positions to change the game in its dying minutes. Robben was unhappy with the decisions the referees made as it heavily influenced the game.

“You know in my opinion what I think is it’s a shame that you see such a great game, everyone in the world, neutrals, Madrid fans, Bayern fans, see great match. It was two top teams, a joy to watch. And then a game like that is being decided by crucial decisions by referee. Read more »
