Robben, who turns 35 in January, will begin the final bankruptcy of a rich career on Friday when Bayern begin their quest for a seventh consecutive Bundesliga name at home to Hoffenheim.

They won against strong groups with high scores in the preseason, winning their cup game 6-1. They’re a very smart team. Array We have to fight on Friday and be vigilant from the beginning, otherwise it may be an unpleasant night. We don’t need that, we need a smart start in the Bundesliga. “
If Bayern opens with a win, they will consolidate their turnover as favorites of the name. The Munich giants finished the 2017/18 crusade with 21 numbers ahead of runner-up Schalke and 29 ahead of the Hoffenheim. It was only the 2012/13 season that tripled, the margin between the first and the moment was greater, not that Robben expects nothing more than a match until the end in 2018/19.
