Arjen Robben is very much looking forward to his return at FC Groningen. The 96-time international of Orange made it very surprising on Saturday that he focuses on a return as a football player at the ‘Pride of the North’.
“The club can use all help during this period to get through the corona crisis well. I have also participated in various actions and also thought about what else I could do for our FC,” said Robben on the FC Groningen site. .
“The last few weeks I have had many consultations with people within the club and perhaps the most listened to the action of the supporters: ‘Arjen, follow your heart!’ A return as a player of FC Groningen. It started to itch and now it is my mission. “
The 36-year-old attacker, who started his brilliant career at the beginning of this century at Groningen and ended last year at Bayern Munich, is still holding a punch.
“I don’t know yet whether it will work. What I do know is that it will not depend on my efforts and motivation. It is now my dream to play in the FC Groningen shirt again.”
After his first years at FC Groningen, Robben played for PSV, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern. At the latter club he has kept his fitness up to date.
