La Liga 2007-2008: Arjen Robben in Real Madrid

You already know that star winger Arjen Robben has recently joined Spanish club Real Madrid from English club Chelsea. Arjen Robben is one of the best left wingers at this moment in the world. Ahead of the La Liga 2007-2008, his inclusion is expected to give a huge boost to Real Madrid. With Real Madrid Robben signed a five year contract. Robben spent three seasons in Chelsea. Real has spent 36-million euro for him which is the second highest transfer of the season and this is the fourth highest expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid.

Now, this Dutch winger wants to pay back to the club with his impressive performance. He expressed his view that in England he has fallen in injuries for a number of times that lessen his confidence level but getting a call from Real Madrid he gets back his confidence and he is now determined to do well with Real Madrid.

Guardian reported:
Still beaming from the reception he was given, the 23-year-old said he was delighted that one of the close season's longest transfer sagas had come to an end.
"For me it was a big relief when the final word came yesterday," he said. "It was a difficult time because I was waiting for it since the first day I was back training with Chelsea."
"I won every prize I could win in England, but I had too many injuries there so didn't make the impact I wanted to. I see this as a new start and a new chance and I hope I can stay out of that terrible (treatment) room.
"After a while I felt I wasn't getting the confidence I needed and I started changing my mind (about staying) and when a massive big club like Real Madrid comes for you it gives you a lot of confidence."

In Real Madrid, Arjen Robben will get his countryman Ruud van Nistelrooy as his striking partner. So, their understanding will be better between each other as both of them played in Holland national team. Now, let us see to what extent these two Dutch can help Real Madrid to defend their La Liga title in 2007-2008 season.
