The Dutch Three Musketeers refer to the three Dutch men's football players who were active in world football from the 1980s to the 1990s. They refer to Marko Van Basten as the center. , Luther Gullit, who attacked the midfield, and Frank Rijkaard, who played as a midfielder.
The Dutch Three Musketeers once gathered in the Italian Football League AC Milan from 1988 to 1993 to play. During this period, the Dutch Three Musketeers helped AC Milan 3 Italian Football League titles, 2 Toyota Cup titles and two consecutive seasons to win the UEFA Champions League, and created 58 unbeaten league games in the 1992-93 season. The longest unbeaten record in the five major European leagues.
In 1987, Luther Gullit, who was in charge of attacking the midfielder, was invited by Silvio Berlusconi, the owner of AC Milan Football Club, to join AC. Milan Football Club, in which Luther Gullit’s transfer broke the world football transfer fee record at the time. Gullit is not a classic midfielder, but more like a shadow copy striker. His physical fitness is very good. Gullit in the player era has comprehensive skills. His height is more than 190cm, but he has both speed and jumping, physical fitness and tactics. Consciousness and skills at the foot are both top-notch. The coach can put him in any position, and he can play out of the top five in the world at that time. When the team needs a long pass to attack, Gullit can go up to the front line with Marco Van Basten and rely on a strong body to grab the first point; when it needs ground advance, Gullit can retreat. Going to the midfield as the main starting point of the offense, passing organization and dribbling breakthroughs are extremely threatening.
Rijkaard is stable, solid and talented, and has won the trust of his teammates and fans. He is tall and has excellent skills at his feet. The technique is comprehensive and superb, the defense is "one man is the one who plays the role, but the man is not open", and the defense is quite stable and reliable. Running fast, fighting bravely, strong welding action, good at tight marking and filling, is the hub of offense and defense. The counterattack is fast, the line of sight is wide, the long pass is accurate, and the long shot is quite powerful. Heading and tackles are his two magic weapons, and he also has a strong sense of attack. Rijkaard is the one with the most average technical level and the most stable performance among the Three Musketeers. He is the defense master of the Three Musketeers. Although his personal honor is not as good as Gullit and Van Basten, Rijkaard is the real core of AC Milan. Someone has asked Batistuta’s most troublesome defender. Who? Batistuta cite a few people and added that there is another midfielder who has left a deep impression on me. He is Frank Rijkaard.
Marko Van Basten, Van Basten in the player era has played for Ajax in the Netherlands and AC Milan in Serie A. He has been a club in his career Won 2 times the UEFA Champions League champion, 3 times the Eredivisie champion, 4 times the Serie A champion and many other honors, personally won 3 times the European Footballer, 1 FIFA World Footballer, 4 times the best of the Eredivisie Important honors such as the shooter, the top scorer in Serie A twice, and the European Golden Boot once. Van Basten’s playing style in the player era is very similar to that of his predecessor John Cruyff. Van Basten’s speed, strength, and technique have reached or exceeded the level of John Cruyff’s peak. Marko Van Basten was the most comprehensive center forward in football at the time. His passing, dribbling, and breakthrough skills were all available. He was able to hit the world wave and play new tricks with headers. He has balanced left and right feet, is tall, but does not lack small skills. Van Basten is the most perfect center template. On August 17, 1995, Van Basten announced his retirement due to injury. If it were not for injuries, he should have achieved higher achievements.
