Arjen Robben: "I enjoyed myself"

Saturday 28 March 2009

Arjen Robben was named Man of the Match after Holland World Cup qualifier against Scotland.

The winger was a constant threat, both on the left and on the right wing.

"I enjoyed myself tonight," the Real Madrid player said with a smile.

The man from Groningen wanted to distinguish himself in a positive way against the Scots.

"I was hungry and wanted to play a decent game. In Spain things are going well for me lately and I wanted to prove that with the national team. Once things start to work out you feel loose and then you can play the way you want without anything holding you back."

Robben had also seen that things didn't go so well at the start of the game.

"We had a difficult start, and couldn't find the free man between the lines. Too often we played the ball backwards. Only when we started playing football we created some chances. Fortunately Huntelaar scored and when w got the second shortly before the break we went in for half-time with a good feeling."

Robben's Scottish marker Alexander will have less good memories of the game. "I heard he wasn't the youngest and I was feeling well. I take he will not sleep so well tonight," Robben said with cheeky smile.
