The Bayern Munich winger believes that selfishness is one of his strengths on the pitch and that players have to be unpredictable at times to trick the opposition.
Bayern Munich winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521, reckons that being selfish is one of his biggest strengths on the pitch, and feels proud to have such a weapon in his armoury. Robben has recently been criticised by some of his former teammates
for adapting a selfish approach, but the winger vows not change his playing style as it has brought him success in the past.
Robben insists that most of the attackers are selfish in nature, and their intuition helps them decide whether to shoot or pass the ball. However, the Dutchman admits of his selfish nature but feels that it is a strong point of
his game.
While talking to the sports magazine, Kicker, the 27-year-old further mentioned:
"Attackers have to be selfish on the pitch occasionally, but it's important not to exaggerate. Forwards do a lot of things intuitively. I play like that, and so does [Franck] Ribery. Our unpredictability is one of our strengths.
Selfishness is a quality and not necessarily a bad thing."
The Dutch international has been under scrutiny recently for going for goal himself rather than passing the ball. Many of his former teammates have criticized his style of play, claiming that many chances go begging as the winger
goes for glory himself.
Robben has seen limited action so far this season due to injuries, but has fully recovered from his abdominal strain and is expected to play a crucial role in his team’s bid for a treble this year.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup finalist with Holland has only made eight league appearances this season until now, bagging four goals in return.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player has been linked with a move away from Allianz Arena this summer with French side Paris Saint-Germain showing interest. But Robben has admitted that he will definitely want to stay with the German giants
beyond his contract and hinted at signing an extension.
