Has anybody choked as much as Robben did from 2010-12?
>played like shit in the CL final in 2010
>played like shit in 2010 WC final; missed sitter against Iker
>choked to Inter in 2011 CL
>choked in Chelsea in 2012 CL; missed penalty in final
>no goals or assists in 2012 Euro; don't even pick up a single point
Has anybody choked as much as Robben did from 2010-12?
this didn't keep him from winning the treble with buyern and carrying his national team in 2014
/strongmind/
He lost 2 cl finals and a world cup final in the span of 3 years. Winning 1 cl and making it to a semi final does not negate that
so what? A beta player would have accepted that but his losses motivated him to step his game up and cut inside like a mad man.
If you want to point out chokers, just take a look at 2002 Leverkusen players
Single handilyc carrying your team to multiple finals does not really define choking
Alexis Sanchez is a choker
probably your mom lmao
>Single handilyc carrying your team to multiple finals does not really define choking
Yeah fuck Sneijder lmao
so when they lose, it's all his fault, but when they win things he got carried?
Neither carried; it was a team effort
so the rest of the team didn't choke? no one on the dutch team scored against spain in 2010, and two bayern players missed their penalties in the shootout at the end. why single out robben unless he was normally doing more for the team (i.e. carrying it), which you already denied?
The best player is expected to perform
Messi is a choker then and has lost more finals
>lost more finals
He's also made and won more finals
Tell that to the argies
robben played well in the WC final appart from his choke, he managed to make puyol earn his second yellow but well the referee didn't feel it was necessary
Just like Nigel de Jong then
that would have been racist
>Today I will remind them
The chokemaster
Gianluigi Buffon
You really got autism my guy
Lol he also missed an important penalty against Dortmund in the league that pretty much cost Bayern the title
Also 2012 btw
weak-minded persons don't recuperate from those devastating losses. he came back.
Unless he comes out of retirement and wins the world cup in 2022, he is never getting back what he lost
This. Robben has an elite mentality and he got his redemption arc.
Yeah he should just shitpost about the race of athletes and other cancerous shit like most other posters do
Most of the time he was the main reason they even managed to make it to a final in the first place.
I'm pretty sure he's widely considered our most important player in both 2010 and 2014 which were very succesful WC's for the Netherlands. Considering those are also our most recent WC's you might argue most people consider him the most recent GOAT.
also missed a crucial penalty against Dortmund in the 2012 Bundesliga
Ballack maybe?
Was he really more important than Sneijder in 2010?
So what. He came back to era even stronger.
