Regardless of the boss Berlusconi, coach Sacchi and Capello, AC Milan at that time relied on these three outstanding Dutch stars to achieve hegemony at least in the center and frontcourt. 1989 beat Bucharest 4-0 in the Champions League final, 1990 beat Benfica, and the three Dutch scored all five goals. More importantly, the participation of three Dutch people at that time was a kind of confidence support for the resurrected AC Milan.
Van Basten is the greatest and most tragic of the three Dutch people. 1988, 1989 and 1992, the three European Golden Globe Awards, can be compared with cruyff and Platini, and Van Basten has just taken over the position of the top ball stars of these two predecessors in the Netherlands and Serie A ... Van Basten, born in 1964, is a childhood wish. Starting from Ajax, Van Basten won the European Golden Boot Award with 37 goals of 1986. Van Basten conquered Berlusconi, the new owner of AC Milan, and became the backbone of AC Milan's recovery together with his compatriot Gullit. In his first season in AC Milan, Van Basten was troubled by injuries. He scored only three goals in 1 1 game, so he became a substitute in 1988 European Cup. However, from the hat trick against England to the zero-angle volley against Dasayev, Van Basten not only won the European Cup, but also won his first European Golden Globe Award.
1988-89 season, the league goal of 19 and the two goals in the Champions League final made Van Basten win the Golden Globe award again and again. 199 1-92 season, van basten won the league's top scorer again with 25 goals. 1992-93 season is the happiest and most painful season for Van Basten. From scoring again to winning the Golden Globe Award, from 1993 knee surgery to being kicked off the bench against Marseille in the final, Van Basten never returned to the stadium. 1995 August 18, Berlusconi Cup, Van Basten waved to the San Siro. "I'm leaving."
Compared with Van Basten, Braided Gullit was the handsome talent that AC Milan relied on at that time. It can be seen from his transfer fee of $8.5 million at that time that it was the highest in the world. In Eindhoven, Gullit is an all-round player, except the goalkeeper, who can attack and defend. When he came to AC Milan, Sacchi preferred to put Gullit on the front line. Compared with Van Basten's task of attacking the city and pulling out the village, Gullit felt that he was the commander of the whole team. The contest between him and diego maradona on the Apennine Peninsula at that time always attracted countless eyes. However, Gullit is also a man of temperament, and the friction with Sacchi, the club and the local gangs in the team has accumulated over time. From 65438 to 0993, Gullit left AC Milan for Sampdoria on loan, but when Gullit led the team to reverse AC Milan at San Siro, Berlusconi couldn't wait to bring it back, but this relationship was doomed. At the end of the season, gullit moved to Sampdoria permanently and then to the Premier League.
Van Basten and Gullit 1987 joined AC Milan, and Rijkaard 1 year later. 1987-88 After winning the league, Berlusconi continued to spend money like water to expand his Milan. Berlusconi prefers borghi, who performed well in the Toyota Cup, but Sacchi asked two other Dutch people what they thought of Rijkaard. The answer can be imagined. Sacchi successfully persuaded Berlusconi to buy Rijkaard into the team. It is said that braida, the general manager, bought Rijkaard in Sporting Lisbon that year. In order to avoid accidents, he stuffed the contract into his underwear.
In the first season of joining AC Milan, Rijkaard was in poor condition due to injury and family reasons, but in the Champions League final of 1989-90 season, Rijkaard not only successfully completed the defensive task but also scored the only goal. Compared with the first two companions, Rijkaard is more practical and simple. 1992-93 season, with the growth of albertini and the joining of lentini, Papan and Bo Ban, the competition in the midfield of AC Milan was particularly fierce, and Rijkaard gradually lost his main position. Unlike Gullit's protest, Rijkaard chose to quit peacefully and return to Ajax for $2 million. Two years later, it was Rijkaard who passed Kluiwitt directly and helped Ajax beat AC Milan.
