Quotes taken out of proportion and spinned by lazy journalists.
Nothing to see here.

Why do you make ludicrous stataments and will write 7 Paraphraphs to justify the same?
It has never mattered about the quality of a defense. Anyone with a decent footballing knowledge knows 8-10 people defending is 1000 times more powerful that 4 of the greatest defenders alive defending with no body to support them. That is what Jupp did to turn Bayern from a bad defensive unit to a Fortress which could not be breached.
The point is Robben said he was happy to take a draw after going down, confident to finish the game. He said MU parked the bus and defended and it was hard to break them down because they just defended?
What is the Big Deal. You have to be stupid to actually not agree with that.
They freaking defended and that is what he is saying? So what's the big deal?
He should say I loved seeing MU artistic form of defending with a changing pattern and tenacity to defend?

"It was not easy, as our opponents didn't leave any gaps. We wanted to play football but they tried to stop us. The English were just playing on the counter and have played very defensively, it was almost like in handball.
"But when you go a goal down you have to be pleased with a draw. 1-1 is a very good result that we can take home with us and then we just have to finish it off next week."
This is completely ridiculous. Robben said nothing negative about Manchester United. I'm actually shocked how many people belive he did just because the newspaper wrote this first sentence in their article even though they couldn't bring up any quotes that would've confirmed it at all.
