While the two were similar in that they were quick on their feet and a constant menace on the flanks for FC Bayern and FC Hospital, their playstyles were quite different.

Ribery was more skillful and quicker on-the-ball. He was also comfortable with both feet, making his dribbles devastating. Ribery was also a better team player and more of a creator on the pitch. He did well in utilising his teammates and also bringing them into play.

Robben, on the other wing, had quicker sprints with insane top speed and was deadlier on the finish. He was selfish at times and was one-footed, but we all knew what his left foot could do. He would cut inside, curl the ball, and bam, the dudes just running to the corner flag with his arms wide. Robben also had better stamina and was able to make crazy runs in the 90th minute.

So yeah, both top top legends, but vastly different playstyles for players playing in a similar position.

Could you elaborate further to a non-German?

Korean given names feel much more personal as they are technically unique. As in: the parents get to be creative when naming their children.

Meanwhile, the surnames mean much less on personal terms. When your surname’s called in the streets, you’ll never think someone’s looking for you.

So yeah, I feel it would be better for Min-jae’s morale and motivation if his given name was used more frequently in Bayern.

Fun fact: ‘Son’ is a less common surname in Korea, accounting for 0.8% of the population. Meanwhile, ‘Johnson’, a relatively common surname in the US, accounts for 0.6% of the population.

Leon Goretzka, especially now that his form’s coming back.
