Robben: "We enforced English mistakes"
Thursday 13 August 2009
Holland got two great gifts from
the English defense yesterday in the form of hilarious
mistakes by Rio Ferdinand and Gareth Barry, yet Arjen
Robben thinks these mistakes were forced upon them by
the way Holland played.
"Of course these were mistakes,they
simply gave away the two goals," Robben said.
"But we were so close to them
that they didn't have time to build up. Playing that
way we forced them to make mistakes and on each mistake
we wasted no time to benefit."
Despite the two given goals England
played a good second half and managed to score two as
well.
Robben: "Such a shame. We
controlled the game in the first half, but after the
break we weren't so well organized. We made more mistakes
and gave away some chances. But okay, we must learn
from these things. At the World Cup we will encounter
opposition of this quality as well. That is the value
of a friendly like this. We must learn from the things
that went wrong."
Have
a look at the head-to-head record.
