Robben in blast at Jose
-
FURIOUS Arjen Robben last night blasted Jose Mourinho saying he was never given a chance at Chelsea. The Dutch winger made it clear he quit the Blues in a £24.5million switch to Real Madrid because of his frosty relationship with boss Mourinho.
Robben, 23, who has penned a five-year deal at Real, said: “In the early stages, yes they could have done more. "But after a while I felt I wasn’t getting the confidence I needed, then I started to change my mind about being at Chelsea. “And when a massive club like Real Madrid shows an interest it makes it easy and gives you a great feeling.
"When you compare the feeling of confidence you get from Real and Chelsea then you have to go where you feel you will be most happy and that’s what I did. “I know it’s a lot of money and it just shows the interest Madrid had in signing me. “They gave me a lot of confidence and showed over the last few weeks they were willing to do anything to get me here. The reception I was given from the fans was above all expectations. “It was an unbelievable feeling when I went down the steps and the warm welcome I got was really amazing and gives me more motivation to do well for the fans and for the club. “I will prove that it’s not true that I’m made of glass and I’m always injured. I know I am strong and I know that I can do well here.” -
he was always in the match be it on the bench or playing whenever he was fit.
but he failed to stay fit for the past 2 seasons.

Actually to tell you the truth, because of his injuries, i don't think he really improved much from where he was 3 years ago.Originally posted by unclebutcher:aiya. he has undeniable talent leh. -
Robben looks like Phua Chu Teng...

I agree. Heinze looks alot more younger than Robben does in the picture.Originally posted by ErikaChioBu:he looks a lot older than his age

Actually i think apart from Ronaldo... He is probably the best winger in the EPL. And only him seem to have an effect whenever he came on for chelsea... The rest seem normal... Anyway, he he wasn't that good, Real wouldn't have made him one of their most expensive player in their club history...Originally posted by stellazio:Actually to tell you the truth, because of his injuries, i don't think he really improved much from where he was 3 years ago. -
tot he cheaper than both zidane and figo.... even beckham....

He is good no doubt, he was already making an impact when he first came.Originally posted by zocoss:Actually i think apart from Ronaldo... He is probably the best winger in the EPL.

But i don't really see him improving much from his 3 years spent here then when he first came.
Unlike Ronaldo who was always lacking of the final ball, last season you could tell the difference. -
But you can't deny that Robben helped Chelsea won quite a number of matches. Remember one time he caused havoc to the Manu defence 2 seasons ago?Originally posted by stellazio:He is good no doubt, he was already making an impact when he first came.

Yes, Chelsea winning record with him is like around 80%.Originally posted by glacer:But you can't deny that Robben helped Chelsea won quite a number of matches. Remember one time he caused havoc to the Manu defence 2 seasons ago?
He has talent and he is good, but i'm just saying that i don't really see him improve much. Like what i saw in him 3 years ago is roughly the same as the present Robben.
