Robbens style blame injuries

You're referring to the infamous "injury excuses" of Frank de Boer, the former Dutch national team coach, and current Ajax manager!

Frank de Boer was known for his... creative explanations for his team's losses and injuries. Here are some examples:

1. "The grass was too long": After a 2-1 loss to Denmark in the 2012 European Championship, De Boer blamed the long grass on the pitch for his team's poor performance.
2. "The ball was too heavy": During a 2013 friendly match against Germany, De Boer claimed that the ball was too heavy, which affected his team's ability to control the game.
3. "The referee was blind": After a 2-0 loss to Belgium in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, De Boer accused the referee of being blind, saying that he missed several key fouls committed by the Belgian players.
4. "The players were tired from the warm-up": Before a 2015 friendly match against France, De Boer claimed that his players were exhausted from their warm-up routine, which affected their performance in the game.
5. "The players were distracted by the fans": After a 2-0 loss to Turkey in the 2016 European Championship qualifiers, De Boer blamed the Turkish fans for distracting his players, saying that they were too loud and intimidating.

These quotes have become infamous in Dutch football circles, and De Boer's tendency to blame external factors for his team's losses has been widely mocked.
