Arjen Robben

In connection with the World Cup, which was held in Russia in 2018, the biographies of athletes have become especially popular. However, readers choose stories only about the most interesting players who keep the right position on the pitch and please their fans with goals against the opponent.

It should be said that it is difficult to stand out from the overwhelming number of players in such a way as to be noticed by journalists. However, Bayern Munich's winger Arjen Robben, a Dutch man by nationality, managed to do so. And this fact is not surprising, because the man, who is famous for hitting his left foot, managed to win the championships of four countries: the Netherlands, England, Germany and Spain.

The future footballer was born on January 23, 1984 in the town, which is located in the Netherlands. It's called Bedum. Arjen's parents predetermined his fate, because the boy's father - Hans Robben - worked as a football agent, and his wife Marjo was a local celebrity. As for education, as a child, Arjen went to school with difficulty, as they say "from under the stick", the young man showed no interest in education, but was fond of sports.

Arjen preferred to follow in his father's footsteps, so Robben's parents had no doubt that their son would become a footballer. Arjen was lucky, because Hans and Marjo were not shy about sending their child to the best football academies.

Thus, while other children learned the basics of science at school, Robben went in the morning to a sports school, where he trained hard with the ball. By the way, the young player was one of the best in his team, who mastered Korver's method.

The principle of this method is that the player learns not only individual skill, but also maximum technical equipment. As a result, Arjen's game attracted the local football club Groningen, named after the province in the north of the Netherlands.

In 1999-2000, Robben was involved in youth training. In 2000, Arjen was on the list of participants in the main team at the Dutch league match with Twente. However, the young man never took to the football field. But in December of that year, Arjen showed himself at Groningen when he replaced Leonardo, who was injured in the 79th minute, and was unable to continue the game against Welway.

Then Arjen Robben's career was on the rise: over time, the young man stopped sitting on the benches, and his last name was on the lists of the main line-ups of players. In the Groningen team, the Dutchman made 18 appearances, scoring 2 goals against opponents.

It is noteworthy that at the end of the football season the young man was awarded the title of player of the year. This title cheered the athlete and became a great motivation for him: the next season Robben scored 6 goals, participating in 28 matches.

In 2002, the winger was bought by PSV, who paid for the transfer of the young man of 3.9 million. While in this club, the man played 33 matches in his first season, scoring 12 goals. Thus, the Dutchman again received the title of player of the year, sharing it with a colleague on the shop floor, which was the striker Mateja Kezhman. It is noteworthy that both athletes played in an attacking tandem, having developed their own tactics.

Unsurprisingly, the fans named two players "Batman and Robben", because thanks to two forwards won the Dutch championship, after which Arjen Robben added new awards to his piggy bank.

The man was named "Football Talent of the Year in the Netherlands" and also received the Johan Cruyff Prize. The following year, the winger won silver in the same Dutch championship.

Then the footballer, remembered by feints and a manoeuvre with a ball called dribbling, met with the head coach of Manchester United FC. By the way, Alex Ferguson offered for the transfer of the player of 7 million, but this sum to the president of PSV - Harry van Ray - seemed ridiculous. He said that for such money "Manchester will buy only a T-shirt with the athlete's autograph."

That's why Arjen was sold to Chelsea, with a transfer value of $18 million. Arjen scored seven goals in the English Championship (2004-2005), but his career at Chelsea failed due to numerous injuries that became a stumbling block for important Champions League matches.

After Chelsea, the winger started playing for Spanish club Real Madrid. The head coach wanted to see in the team Of Ballack, the president of FC Ramon Calderon agreed to buy Arjen, who signed a contract soon for 5 years. Madrid paid Chelsea 36.

This amount was the fifth in the history of Spanish FC, previously the club paid fabulous money for David Beckham, zinedine zidan, Luis Figo and Ronaldo (Arjen said that he should get the "Golden Ball"). The purchase of Robben lived up to expectations, the man helped to win the Spanish Super Cup in 2008-2009.

In 2009, the athlete joined Bayern Munich, where he made a mind-blowing career. Although the number 10 player did not want to leave Real Madrid, the club sold him on his own.

On August 28, the athlete had to sign a four-year contract with German FC. According to rumors, his salary was 8 million before taxes. It is noteworthy that Arjen was recognized as the best player in Germany. At the end of the German season, Bayern won the league and the German Cup. Among other things, the athlete has achieved success at Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. There were also rumours that Robben would become a player of zenith, but this information turned out to be inaccurate.

Little is known about the personal life of a handsome athlete (the player's height is 180 cm and the weight is 80 kg), but fortunately the fans, Arjen is a user of the Network: the man keeps his page on Instagram, however, does not please with numerous publications. Arjencan can also be found on Facebook. As for the family, the winger is married to Bernadien Euler, who gave her lover three children. Interestingly, Euler and Robben knew each other from the school bench where they studied together.

Some fans dubbed the Dutchman a "crystal footballer" because the man suffered many fractures and injuries. When the athlete performed at Chelsea, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Fortunately, the treatment was successful, and the footballer continued his sports career. In addition, Arjen set a record and managed to develop the speed with a spurt of 35.7 km/h.

Among other things, Arjen is self-educated and fluent in English and German. The athlete's fortune is estimated at $80 million. The man owns two houses (Netherlands and Germany) and cars (BMW and Audi).
