Arjen Robben

Arjen Robben

My favorite soccer player is Arjen Robben. I found out about Arjen Robben when my favorite country soccer team, the Netherlands, played in the world cup four years ago. I saw Robben playing and he has been one of my favorite soccer players ever since. I am going to talk about what he is doing today. I’m going to talk about how he got to where he is today. I am also going to talk about how good of a soccer player he is.

Arjen Robben plays right mid, or right wing. For his career he plays on the Bayern Munich club. So obviously he lives in Munich, Germany. For his international team, he plays on my favorite country team, the Netherlands. He is 5”11, and he was born in 1984 so that makes him 30 years old. He is starting to get kind of old but I think he still has a couple more years ahead of him. He makes 5.5 million dollars, and he is married to Bernadien Eillert. His soccer number is number 10.

Arjen Robben spent the early part of his career with Groningen and PSV Eindhoven but it was not until he signed for Premier League and went to Chelsea for £12 million in the summer of 2004 that he truly hit the European stage. Three years later he left Chelsea and went to Real Madrid for £24 million. On Real Madrid Robben did spectacular. He was always compared to the best player in the world, Lionel Messi. That year Robben lead the team to win the league in front of Barcelona, Messi’s team. Later he moved to Bayern Munich and lead the team to even more league victories. Up until this day Robben has been playing for Bayern Munich.

Ok, so Arjen Robben is one of the best wingers in the game. He has so many perfect small touches that leave defenders scrambling to get back. My favorite thing that Robben does is his cut to the left. What happens is he is running down the side of the field with the ball, and when he is near the 18 yard box, he cuts in. Like I said, his touches are to perfection, so when he makes a perfect cut, it opens up a shot. If you don’t know anything about Robben you need to know he has a killer left foot. So when he cuts to the left he hits the ball like none other and the ball goes screaming to the goal. Robben scores the majority of his goals like that.

In conclusion, I hope you are starting to realize how good Arjen Robben really is. He is an amazing soccer player, an inspiration to me when I am on the soccer pitch. The guy is truly amazing. He went from playing for small teams to being one of the best soccer players in the world. Even though, he will stop playing soccer in a couple of years I will always remember him as one of my favorite soccer players ever.
