Robin Van Persie: Why I Left Arsenal For Man United

[@HighPerformancePodcast]

It was a real pleasure to sit down with Robin and hear him talk so openly and honestly about his career. What was the biggest learning you took from this? Comment below...

[@DrVaSeech]

Reflection and active introspective analysis.

Choosing your company wisely

[@vitaminamulti]

I realized how shitty Van Gaal was. I always wondered why Van Persie went to Galatasaray, when he was still banging in goals. What a fucking dick Van Gaal was -- so much for "human beings" management style.

[@cbarclay99]

Probably the most interesting interview on football I have ever heard. Were family and faith off-limits? No problem if they were. I would rather listen to insightful comments on something that RVP wanted to talk about rather than interviewers chasing headlines. Very Dutch of RVP to tell the Arsenal board what he thought. It would also have been interesting to hear RVP's thoughts on why Holland produces so many great footballers.

[@SirMcAwesome]

One of the best volley-ers to play football. Insane technique. I'm an Arsenal fan and I was devastated when he went to Man U but I blame the club hierarchy more than him. They were just not willing to take the risks necessary to compete as a top club and that's inexcusable. You can't expect to keep top players if you don't operate like a top club.

Im surprised they never brought up his injuries since it was a major theme in his career and robbed him of a greater opportunity to win more trophies and achieve more accolades in his career. It would have been interesting to hear what it must have been like to deal with those injuries and how he motivated himself to keep coming back stronger despite so many major set backs in his career.

As kid growing up I was blessed watching ronaldo, Gerrard, bale, Rooney, giggs, lamaprd n rvp in the Premier league. All were special and im a spurs fan but that rvp in 12/13 was the most fun I've had watching him. The goals he scored and pure hunger

[@waso778]

Bergkamp was the best player in PL.

[@Longlostpuss]

@ 11:48 Van Persie became a man at that moment. Having to drop childhood friends like that is not an easy decision to make at all, but there comes a point in a man's life where he has to do some spring cleaning in terms of who he's got around him and ask some tough questions about what value they add to their life (if any). If anybody in your life does the opposite of enhancing it, they're only going to distract and stifle you from achieving your goals, so you've really got to think if such people should be in your life at all. Especially with women guys, be very careful, chasing tail is a fast track to losing focus on your goals and wasting a lot of unnecessary time and money.

I loved watching his career progress, from his first day at Arsenal. Such a fantastic technique, and unique style of moving his body. I am so happy to hear his thoughts and opinions - he is clearly an introspective guy, and I get the feeling his wife and Arsene have been a big part in this.

Great interview. The bit from 27:00 when RVP talks about how poorly he was treated by Van Gaal is fascinating. It also shows what a bell-end Van Gaal was - never a vision more impaired than his - sold all the wrong players and bought duff replacements - RVP could have easily played three more years at the club. RVP - the legend!

[@4kisc]

easily. That was a great insight into how rotten the club became post fergie, looking back you can see how all the players' mentalities were affected. Only now we're seeing genuine changes in the posture & body language of players as well as supporting staff, people are much happier. Hope we can carry this on

[@coolbian513]

yes idiot coach

[@HyperionRed]

You echoed my sentiments exactly. I still hate van Gaal to this day for his treatment of Robin and the others...it's unreal how the guy got away with it and had the audacity to say he was mistreated and the victim, when it took 4 years for the club to semi-recover from his catastrophic reign as manager.

[@Boric78]

[@DrVaSeech]

41:29 seems like Mikel Arteta was probably one of the players! An insightful, engaging and honest interview that could only be achieved by you guys. I always reminisce about when I 'ambushed'/ 'stalked' him in Barbados in the summer of 2014 while he was staying at St Peters Bay Resort. He was so polite and accommodating. It was a mini dream come true. RVP and Fabregas inspired me, in particular, to support Arsenal FC besides Arsene Wenger during my adolescent years. At the time he was pleasantly surprised that I was an Arsenal fan instead of a Man Utd fan. I had the courtesy of meeting his children and wife. One of my all-time favourite players and I truly wished he retired at Arsenal but I guess...life happens. Thank you for the great content.

[@Confaderal]

I am an arsenal fan since '98. And I think RVP has been our most unsung hero. He was constantly carrying the team to 2-4th at a time when we were 6-7th. There were incredible matches where his winning mentality pulled us through the odds. I dont understand why arsenal folks hate him when you yourselves quit a job within a few years of being in it and citing "need more opportunities to grow" as your reason. This guy stayed and stayed with arsenal even when his potential was so far beyond what the club and board(ahem!) aims for. Look what he achieved at manchester with proper players in every position, and then look at arsenal who doesnt even bother with players who can't sell shirts. RVP truly deserved more at that period in time, and i forgive him for going away to achieve what he set out to do: winning. He's unfulfilling his talents by being at arsenal at that time!

[@cbarclay99]

Especially as he was not offered a new deal by Arsenal. My guess is that Arsene's doctors were telling him that RVP's injuries would soon terminate his career at the top level. That was what happened. After one good season at United, RVP's career went downhill quickly.

[@cbarclay99]

@@advlou I can't think of any other explanation as to why Arsenal did not offer their best player and captain a 3 or 4 year contract other than they did not expect him to last 3 or 4 years. Wenger took the same ruthless view with Wright and Vieira. Both were allowed to go when apparently still at (Vieira) or close to (Wright) their peaks but they then declined quickly. Wenger had a doctor in the south of France on whose judgement he relied.

[@Confaderal]

​@@cbarclay99 Tbh, Arsenal players were taking turns being injured during that period. Rosicky had one and a half season rehab-ing. RVP's injuries would be considered 'normal' compared to the others. I think he should last for at least 3 more seasons at the top. 4-5 if he decides he could play second string.

[@crunchysauce]

He was injured almost 80% of his time at Arsenal. As soon as he recovered and had a full season, he then left for Utd.

[@thegoonerduvigneau8550]

Arsenal stuck with him even though he was always injured. Remember Arsene got rid of Adebayor over RVP when he decided to play a 433 formation and up until that point Adebayor had already had his breakthrough season (07/08), whilst we were still waiting for RVP. No one in football at the time talked about RVP being World class. Because of his injuries he didn't blossom into a world class player until he was 28/29. So no he would not of been in Sir Alex's or anyone's else radar earlier. He gave Arsenal 1 and half good seasons and Man U one good season. The reason some Arsenal fans feel letdown by RVP, is not because he left for Man Utd, but because after Asrene stuck with him all those years, once he finally made it, he F'd off. He is was a good player he played for Arsenal. As for being a Arsenal legend, no he doesn't come into that category. I see him now as being more a Man utd player.

Philosophy and psychology when put on the table from the sporting elites in their field is very transferable to the audience to digest/ learn from to apply to our respective fields. From a “selfish” point of view when RVP talks about learning from the top players and leaders at Arsenal it makes me cry inside thinking about those days! This is what has worried me about the state of our club now. If I’m Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney or Emile Smith Rowe now, who am I looking up to? We are doomed 😄

[@IFoundGodInEminem]

A proper Man United legend. Love this guy, I only hate that he didn't join us sooner and that he only got to play one season with the actual United before it all fell apart right from his second season. Would've retired at United with atleast a couple more trophies if Fergie had continued for a couple more years.

[@IFoundGodInEminem]

@V T 1) He's not a one season wonder. He was an elite Premier League striker before he even joined us. 2) He is a legend for delivering the 20th title in Fergie's last season. He will forever be remembered for that. 'Clueless' is a word thrown around by boring, pedantic lumps of shit like you who think their opinion is the end all be all of fan opinions. I will call Rafael da Silva a fucking legend if I want. No 'real' legend of the club would have a problem because they are secure about their status at the club.

Switched off after the first 2 questions. Hope it got better

Rvp should be a coach and eventually a manager. I think he can improve the Manchester United so much. Ole should hire him to help the team and eventually leave him. He can be our Hansi Flick.

He is a Gunner first.

agreed. cuttn ppl off...things of a spiritual n physical nature r very important for one's growth....very natural process. 10:16

22:07- MORAL SELFISHNESS REMINDS ME OF what the Dean said when I was going for my Master's Degree. "Lastly be selfish in this program, what do I mean by that, do all that you need to do to make sure that YOU finish this program at the stipulated time, and acquire the grade you desire to get, and don't put friendships or relationships above this... In this sense be selfish. Help when you can, but put yourself and your essential priorities first"

Really disappointed to hear how Van gaal treated him. Definitely still had valuable performances and knowledge to be used and passed on to the younger players at the club at the time 😮

[@FearTheIndoorHorseRancher]

“High performance” is completely self explanatory. The whole concept of this channel and the way you frame questions is so dumb. 😂

One of the best man utd strikers regardless of the time he spent with us

Mr Robin Van Persie. What a priviledge to hear your thoughts and your stories. Mate, you have "the right stuff". Period. What a great human being, such empathy to be a sound person not just to himself, but more importantly to others. Bro, your friends and family are lucky to know such a person with such great character. As a footballer, always always....always deeply feared you when you were with the Gunners. What unbelivevable talent, for a stretch there a pure goal machine. I am so glad that you will always be a Man U legend and contrubutor to our rich history. Unbelievable podcast and insight. LVG is an asswipe...

[@joshuabarker5770]

united legend! we let him down bringing LVG in

[@charlieoriordan3861]

As an Arsenal fan i do understand why you left, it hurt but i understand. Thank you Robin for your service to Arsenal Football Club.

48:19 - Funny Arsené Wenger Story of Inspiring Radical Self-Ownership and responsibility.

[@ismailaden7]

One of my fav players at Arsenal since the day he joined along Pires , Reyes and The king but as soon as he left us I despised him without knowing what he went through .with those fools at helm Arsenal lost great players who could have easily won the league if they would added few players.

[@tjfaber3071]

Very intelligent 👌 👍 rvp 👌 👏

[@caspergaming4136]

He was my fav player when at united

[@greyeyedb8012]

Might want to rethink your introduction, He is not and will never be an Arsenal cult hero after not only walking out on the club but to join Utd

[@lakadayzikal]

Hey RVP ,are you sure Mason Greenwood is not your son.? Just kidding but the boy is your clone i hope he plays like you or better. Cheers mate, United loves you more
