I am italian and an AC Milan fan since 1980. Milan in the era of Berlusconi has been a legendary team, Sacchi's Milan by FIFA is considered the best football team of history. The champions passed in those quite 30 years were incredible, Rjikaard, Gullit, Van Basten, Baresi, Maldini, Ancelotti, Donadoni, Desailly, Boban, Savicevic, Weah, Papin, Nesta, Kaká, Schevcenko, Inzaghi, Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa and many others. But apart all, Marco Van Basten has a special place in all the Milan's fan heart and in mine. I don't know if he is the best striker of all time and it doesn't matter, the rankings are not very significant, but surely, few other players gifted to me so many emotions. He literally danced on his feet with the ball, he was excellent with all the two feet, the killer insinct of a striker and the ability of a true number 10. When he left football at the age of 28, was the worst day for me in the football world. When I think of that day, I actually cannot hold back the tears. This is the video of the goodbye to the football by Marco Van Basten and the greetings by his fan. Fabio Capello's tears, a coach known for his rudeness, are emblematic. Grazie di tutto Marco Van Basten, Thank you for all. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZicnpR6ytLTZqM.html

The world needs Holland to be great again what world class players they produce over the years

The greatest striker ever. He had no weakness to his game.

The reason of his lack of goals you mentioned in midseason was that he played as an attacking midfielder behind striker Johnny Bosman at that time. He later claimed back his role as striker because... well he was the best.

Van Basten, Ronaldo Nazario and Gerd Muller were the greatest 9's in all of modern football history.

Marco van Basten was my all time favorite. I will never forget 1988 EC finals. Years later I met him near the beach, already retired. Weirdest moment in my life and as vivid as today. He's in the top of my list of heroes.

Technically, the best footballer I ever saw. He was intelligent, he was tough and he was imaginative. It was a shame that a player who played with such joy had his career ruined by such persistent cynicism.

Would go for £250 mil in his prime nowadays. Great player.

The complete player. We'd be speaking about him in the same class as pele and maradona if he stayed fit.

How good was Van Basten ? No matter who he was playing against. No matter how successful they were or how good their current form was, you would be shocked if Van Basten didnt score. Think about it. He was world famous, he was no surprise to any team but nobody could stop him. When it comes to presence on the pitch, his reputation, his aura, his attitude, I can only compare it to the feeling one would get while being in a snipers sights. Technical. Clinical. Efficient. Two good feet. Powerful in the air. Fast, agile & very tactically astute. Van Basten is the epitome of a European striker. To this day he remains the benchmark, the standard bearer all other centre forwards are judged by. Thats how good he was. He was a 2 goal head start for whatever team he played for.

Just imagine the Dutch '98 WC forwards that could've been. Van Basten (33) and Kluivert, with Bergkamp close behind them on 10.

Nice video once again! What a player...one of the best I've seen! it's such a shame that injuries cut his career short, when he was essentially still in his prime. Such a complete and prolific striker; he had it all: speed, shooting, skill, power, heading, two-footedness, passing, intelligence, hold-up play, movement, elegance...and he won so much in his short career with Milan, Ajax, and even the Euros with the Netherlands with an assist and an incredible goal in the final. It's a shame that he didn't get to play at the 1994 World Cup, as maybe with him (fully fit, that is), they could have done better and he could've gotten some World Cup goals, which would have added to his legacy, and might have led him to be ranked more highly among the all-time greats.

Best number 9 ever. What a legend🔥

THAT goal in the final of Euro 88 will forever be remembered as one of THE best goals of all time. Absolutely fantastic volley from a near impossible angle but not just that he also had the sheer audacity to even attempt it. First time on the volley, wham, bam 2-0 up and already in the history books.

The most elegant and talented player I have ever seen.

retired at 28 .. but playing with an injured ankle already since the age of 23. what he succeeded would have been al lot more even before he retired, let alone if whe still would go on playing.

best striker of all time

Absolutely brilliant striker. Some of his headers were harder than I could kick the ball

Thank you for the compilation and keep up the good work !

Actually, at the age of 26, his career was already over, a Hugh drama for every football fan in the world, especially in Milan. Diego Maradonnà once said "The most complete and graceful striker ever´. He was the favorite of many among which Kobe Bryant!

One of his legendary goals for holland at the euros and you showed it on a split screen ?

Retired at 28 (basically), one of the biggest what ifs

This is my favourite player 🔥🔥🔥 I use to watch his every Saturday morning before i went to pkay football my inspiration. Very sad when he had retire 😢

I don't understand why people get hyped around with Nazario [ ofc he's a joy to watch ] & talk less about Muller and then almost no one seems to praise Van Basten much as he should be!

I love your video's and the feeling you express in your voice!

Thank you for making these videos.

"First touch and ball control 8/10". No way. His technique was out of this world. He could do so much with a ball in a small space. His bicycle kicks and scoring ability with both legs (and head) are the result of his technical talent

Really great video, keep it up bro👍

Great tribute to one of the legends from the lowlands, thanks!

Giving 2/10 for longetivity to a player who had 9 (!!!) seasons with higher goal per game ratio of 0,5 and 10 seasons when he played more than 20 games is a bit ... khm ... inapprehensible.

Best player in history..⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The swan of Utrecht....simply the best.

The season you mention, where he only score in the beginning and the end of the season, MvB was ill. He had Pfeiffer. So he was out in the middle of the season.

Imagine the records he would have got without his ankle injury. Probably the best ever.

Top 3 players of all time. Shame he had to retire at 28. An absolute diamond of a player in absolutely the best club team of all time( ac milan)

An incredible player. P.s. Have you done one on Weah?

He was one of the most gifted and humble players in history.

He was the perfect striker from the 80's 90's

You missed his better goal, the bicycle kick. A true work of art. At the time he was my idole, and I also cryed when he retired. Never forgotten how my Benfica dried him down in that 90 champions final... We would deserved to win the champions that year, but Milan was at the time a power house, Gullity, Rickard, Van Basten...

He was something else. When he was playing with Ruud Gulith, they were a match from heaven. Great futbol

What a player, my favorite of all time, loved Van Basten, scored all sorts of goals and it says something that you were surprised when he didn’t score. Best ever goal scorer in my opinion.

good work mucker...

Van Basten, gullit, rijkaard 🙏🏆

Nice video, you are from Portugal?

As far as I am aware, Marco Van Bastern is the principal reason the tackle from behind was finally outlawed in the 1990s. I saw Bergkamp play for Arsenal and at Wembley against England. The Arsenal fans love Bergkamp but as a similar player, Van Bastern was a different level.

Juro não sei como é que não tens mais views e subs. Fazes videos com muita informação, uma boa narração e com boa qualidade, mereces mais honestamente. Espero não ser chato mas, se conseguises Fazer um Vídeo destes do Zanetti ou do Matthäus seria épico. Digo te já se não der ou não tiveres a possibilidade sem problema. Continua com o bom conteúdo 👍

respect for the good video

i am a milan supporter from milan since my childhood he was my god litterally my fav of all time with baggio.

Best striker of all time.

Sad that he went out at his peak. Would've been 29 in USA94'.

Great video

how GOOD was Van Basten? Ronaldo7 can score another 1000 goals and will still not impresses me as watching MVB playing, he was such joy to watch

His autobiography is an excellent read

Any ranking that puts van Basten behind the ridiculously trigger happy Roberto Carlos, is a little flawed. However, this is still an intersting and well-done video.

He was glorious.

Thanks for making a video about my youth idol and fellow dutchman Marco van Basten. Not all your statements are correct, I think you looked at the wrong sources. I know all facts and statistics, because I simply remembered them from that time. he made his debute at the age of 17 in 1982, and scored. The next season Van Basten played 20 games, mostly as substitute and scored 9 times. In 1983/84 he became the first striker of Ajax, after Wim Kieft left to Pisa. Despite he missed 8 games because he get ill (Pfeiffer) he became national league topscorer with 28 goals in 26 games. He won the silver boot as vice European topscorer. In 1984/85 he won the national league. He became topscorer again with 22 goals in 33 matches. The next season Van Basten became european topscorer with 37 goals in 26 matches. It was the season when the problems with his ankle injury started. Van Basten became for the 4th executive time topscorer in his last season at Ajax with 31 goals in 27 matches. In the European Cup winners cup final van basten scored the only and winning goal for Ajax. In 1987/88 van basten missed most of his debute season at AC Milan because of his ankle injury. At the end of the season Van Basten made his international breaktrough during EURO 88 with 3 goals against England, the 2-1 in the last minute of the semi finals against Germany and his famous volley in the finals against Russia. The next season van basten did okay in the Italian league with 19 goals in 33 matches, but he played his best matches in the European Champions League. At the end of 1988 Van Basten won his first ballon D'Or as European Player of the year. AC Milan reached the finals that season, and Van Basten scored 2 goals. He bacme the topscorer and MVP of the tournament with 10 goals in 9 matches. Despite missing 8 games because of his ankle injury van basten became Serie A topscorer the first time with 19 goals in 26 games. Art the end of 1989 van basten won his 2nd ballon D'Or. AC Milan won the European Champions Cup again. Van Basten scored 4 goals in 10 matches, and gave the assist on the winning goal of Rijkaard in the final. The next season was the least of Van Basten's time at AC Milan. He only scored 11 goals. The next season Van Basten came back strong and became for the 2nd time topscorer of the Italian league with 25 goals in 31 matches. Milan became champion. The following season Van Basten improved himself again scoring 12 goals in the first 8 league games, including 4 goals against Napoli. The same month Van Basten scored 4 goals against Gothenborg in the fist edition ot the Champions league, including a bicycle-kick. Van Basten was considered the best player of the world at that time. But than his ankle gave up. At the end of 1992 van basten won his 3th ballon D'Or and the 2nd edition of the FIFA world player of the year. In the spring of 1993, at the age of 28, van basten tried to come back in 3 matches, but his ankle couldn't holp up any more and he played his last minutes in the lost Champions league final agianst marseille.

The most complete striker ever not doubt

The best player ever...

Scoring with both feet and head as well

Nice!!

He was simply the best and still is if you compare him with Messi or Ronaldo. Marco van Basten ti ameremo per sempre!

Mano, já fizeste algum video sobre o Karl Heinz Rummeniege?

It wasn’t his great performances in Ajax that earned him his spot in AC Milan it was the fact he got injured for a whole season I think it was that made him affordable for Milan. I remember Rudy Gullit having a transfer fee that was like 10 times bigger than van basten because van basten had 2 screws in his ankle. That Dutch trio in Milan happened because of Ajax’s incompetence and honestly it was Johann cruyff fault for playing him with a messed up ankle.

Next video Recommendation-Video on tony Adams Plzzzzzzzzz🙏🙏🙏

Retirement before 30 wasn’t uncommon back then. You need to take that into account just how far the professional game has come on and it’s ability to improve players longevity.

The greatest all round centre forward to have played the game. Took Tony Adams years to get over 1988 in the Euro's.

For sure one of the BOATs! Best of all time!!

He didn’t injured his ankle while in Milan His ankle was destroyed when he played for Ajax ( and was in constant pain) so he just decided to do surgery again to clear it. But never recovered Get your facts right please

Top 15 player of all time IMO

FORZA MILAAAAAN!!!! At the end of May 2021, we'll see both Van Basten & Sheva in Milano, celebrating OUR 19TH SCUDETTOOOOOOOO!

Marco van basten legenda hidup pesepakbola belanda & ac.milan

First touch and ball control: 11/10 simply perfect Icon factor: 11/10 people still talk as "the new Van Basten" when new striker talent starts

Hero!

Nice background track, Id?

Marco van Basten is in my book a complete striker.and a all-time great.he could score from any angle.injuries cost him and the soccer world .

Im proud he is born in Utrecht and lead the nation to the first cup in history 💪

My Top 4 strikers Hugo Sanchez Van Basten Romário Ronaldo Diferent styles but the same level

6:50 11:25 why are there sound of people arguing in the background

The entirety of Holland so wished for van Basten to return with Bergkamp, Kluivert etc. The injury took a while to nationally digest. To compare him to R9 (Nazario de Lima) is a bit apples-to-papayas because there's a generational difference. Soccer took a leap in pace. And yes if you have seen R9 in real life (I did) you know he is the BOAT. Van Basten did have the height (1.88m) for headers and overhead kicks. But in his era, he was as big of a star as Zidane, R9, Maldini, no doubt. And in Holland, he remains perhaps the biggest icon after Cruyff.

Longevity should've been at least a 6. He was at the middle part of his career.

at leat 9/10 for first touch/ball control

Do a video on Patrick Kluivert The Dutch R9

He left on top

Waiting for the Dennis Bergkamp video

Am planning to start out a KZfaq channel like this thats why am asking

And to think that since 1986 he'd never been able to play without pain because of that ankle. He would have been even better

7 goals in 16 is a down period… that’s insane.

A great striker

u missed his winner in the uefa-cup final with ajax

Best striker ever

Bro is your channel monetized ........because the video clips you is copied from somewhere else which can cause copyright infringement

I like your videos, if you like my music you have permission to use it for your videos 🎧🎶🔥❤️

From another planet “ il cigno di Uthrecht

Imagine if he played at least for 2 or 3 years more Football history would be very different

Mondrian as a football player.

How good was Van Basten? just about one of the best players I've ever seen in my 48 years..... and I've seen quite a few, I can tell you. I've seen GREAT strikers but he was in another league to most of those. He almost scored goals for fun, it was effortless....

diadora legend.

Best nr 9 in history.

where's BAGGIO??

First touch and ball control 8/10?😂 It should be 11/10
