Robben’s pace is 4 minutes 14 seconds per kilometer. Because he was not used to running marathons, Robben seemed a bit tired in the last 10km.

Although he completed the exam lasting more than 3 hours, Robben was not very satisfied with his achievement. This former player said: “I’m not happy at all. This is a real wаr. The fans on both sides of the road helped me a lot.

At first, I only cared about time, but towards the end, I just tried to finish the race. I felt something related to my body but was still able to reach the finish line.”

Robben was once considered one of the fastest players in the world. This player once accelerated at a speed of 37km/h in the match against Spain in the 2014 World Cup .
