Robben's national team career
Robben's experience in the country
In the 2004 UEFA European Championship, Robben excelled in the breathtaking attacking battle with the Czech Republic in the group stage, bagging two assists. In the last eight, it was thanks to Robben's last crucial goal that Holland was able to eliminate Sweden 5-4 in the penalty shootout.
In the 2006 World Cup, Robben, Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie formed a powerful three-arrow combination. In the group stage, Robben on the left flank and Van Persie on the right had openly criticized each other for being too "one-dimensional", but this triple-arrow formation is still feared by many strong teams. It is generally believed that the combination of Robben and Van Persie as wingers will be an emerging force in the Netherlands.
Robben was not at his best during the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship due to injuries. But he still scored an incredible goal against France.
Arjen Robben scored a goal in the semi-final of the 2010 World Cup and led the Dutch team to the final. However, Robben wasted two good chances against Spain, and the Dutch team had to settle for second place.
In the 2012 UEFA European Championship, the Dutch team performed poorly and Robben wasted his chances, and the team finally went out of the group stage with three defeats in three matches.
2014 World Cup, in the third place race against Brazil only two minutes to fast footwork over the opponent missed the defense long drive, the last although the opposing captain Silva pulled down, but also for the team to get a penalty kick to score the first point. Finally the Netherlands 3:0 beat Brazil, won the third place, Robben in the best player selection in the third place, after the final two sides of the ace scorer Messi and Muller. (The situation of this ball is a vicious foul outside the penalty area, should be awarded to the Netherlands a direct free kick in the place where the foul occurs and direct red card expulsion of Silva, but in the end gave the Netherlands a penalty only when the foul in the penalty area, the other side of the Silva, but also only received a yellow card, caused a lot of controversy)
Robben was named captain of the Netherlands after original captain Robin van Persie hit a slump in 2015. But at the subsequent UEFA European Football Championship 2016 and World Cup 2018, the Netherlands failed to pass the qualification rounds. Robben then announced his retirement from the national team.
