The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international is looking for alternatives to put an end to his injury woes and add years to his career, but stressed that he does not want to retire from the national side
Bayern Munich right winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 has expressed his desire to play fewer matches for Netherlands and miss the clashes which are not significant in the not too distant future. This will help the injury prone player to prevent
physical problems from occurring on a regular basis.
The versatile player has consistently suffered several injuries while on international duty with his national team. He sustained a hamstring problem at the 2010 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757. Therefore, he can now choose to rule himself
out of friendly fixtures and other less significant matches to make sure his injury troubles end.
The forward claimed that he has enjoyed an unlucky fate with the Oranje. He said that he does not know the cause of his troubles while away on international duty, but stated it is a fact that he is most likely to return injured
for his club team. He explained that he still wants to carry on playing for the Dutch side.
The winger revealed that he loves representing the country of his birth and is proud to be part of the squad.
"The national team and I has been an unfortunate combination. I don't know the reason, but I somehow keep on picking up injuries," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC and Real Madrid player was quoted as saying in an interview.
"Now, before people get the wrong idea, I will not retire from international football, because playing for my country remains an immense honour,” he added.
"However, if there's a game that's not too important or when we have a busy calendar, I could decide not to play for the national team. I have to give this some serious thought," he mused.
Nevertheless, Robben further added if it is an easy game or there are a lot of matches, he could decide not to play in the clash. The star player has 63 caps for the Netherlands.
