Arjen Robben

The football in Spain is more about skill and technique. Every team tries to play good football. The physical side, with plenty of running and hard tackling, plays more of a role in the Bundesliga. ”

Football is my life, but my family's health is the most important thing in the world. ”

Football players have a great life, but we're only human. ”

Every manager has a certain influence, and it depends whether you're 18, 25, or 30. You need different things. ”

Every league has its own culture, its own identity, and its own type of football. It's very physical in England, but technical skill comes to the fore in Spain, where everybody wants to play beautiful football. The standards are very high in Germany, too; the teams are physically strong, very disciplined, and very well organised. ”

The most important thing for me is to feel that young players want to learn on the training pitch. If they spend 10 hours sitting around playing PlayStation, that's their business. ”

When we are in possession, tactically, he is the best coach in the world for me. He works hard, watches a lot of games, and prepares us really well. Guardiola has the feeling for gaping spaces, and he already had that as a player. ”

Even during a sprint, I can occasionally still accelerate. I am so fit that I can accelerate during a acceleration, like making a new start. ”

If Mourinho loses 4-1, he doesn't sleep well. ”

I've been playing football for a while, but Guardiola really made me a better player. I was 29 when I started working with him, so I wasn't very young, but if you see the steps I made thanks to him, it shows you what he is capable of doing. Guardiola didn't just put me on the flanks but in other positions as well. ”
