In those 10 glorious years of Milan, he was not Kaka, he could not run the field like a fast horse out of control, crossing the opponent's defense; he was not Inzaghi, always full of desire for victory and unyielding fighting spirit, bravely moving forward, directly piercing into the heart of the opponent; he was even less like Nesta and Maldini, who used his body to form an unbreakable net in front of the goal. He wasn't like anybody, because there wasn't anybody like him, and at that time some people questioned why the Italian team didn't use AC Milan's style of play. Because the team didn't have him. And this he, seemingly inconspicuous, became the most important part of the team, became the best lubricant of the whole team, he is Clarence Seedorf.
Seedorf, who debuted in the "star processing factory", and the DePol brothers, Davis, Witzger and Kruyvet successfully blew a youthful orange storm in Europe, they swept the domestic league and became the domestic treble champions, and in the Champions League, Seedorf firmly occupied the main position with his excellent dribbling and strange ultra-long-range shots. They went all the way through five levels and came to the final stage, facing ac Milan, which was very popular at the time, the infinite vitality of youth finally defeated the rich game experience, Kluivert's goal, one foot to seal the throat, killed the game, helped Ajax 1-0 LEC Milan, and the young Seedorf followed the team and lifted the Champions League trophy for the first time.
With his outstanding performances, Seedorf was invited to join Sampdoria and came to the Apennines, the highest stage in the football world. Seedorf became the only core at Sampdoria, and although he helped the team to win eighth place in Serie A, Seedorf, who was not willing to be lonely, did not stay in the Apennines for long, because there was a club that could not be resisted by players all over the world, and that was Real Madrid. 32 appearances, scoring 3 goals, is a short but happy memory left by Seedorf for Sampdoria fans.
Seedorf, who stepped onto the La Liga stage, did not need any adaptation, he quickly integrated into Capello's tactical system, in the first season of joining Real Madrid, he helped Real Madrid defend the league title, and he also became one of the main players of Real Madrid. In the 97/98 season, the first round of the league, in the same city derby with Atletico Madrid, Seedorf suddenly got up near the midfield line and slammed into a super long-range shot about 45 fans away from the fans, shocking the La Liga arena, and Seedorf's long-range shot began to become famous all over the world.
In the same year in the Champions League, Real Madrid was still invincible, unstoppable, and on the stage of the final, it met the "Zebra Army" Juventus. Juventus was using his body and willpower to fend off waves of Real Madrid's attacks, and at the moment when the Italian was a little relieved, Mijatovic seized the opportunity to score the only goal in the game, but one should not forget Seedorff, who participated in all 11 Champions League games as a main player, and his control of the midfield in the final made Juve's midfield line into an unusually tangled point. Seedorf, who lifted the Champions League trophy for the second time, tasted the taste of the real top of Europe, and in his three and a half seasons with Real Madrid, Seedorf, although unable to conquer Hiddink, has conquered the discerning Bernabeu fans.
In 1999, Seedorf joined Inter Milan, which was in desperate need of a championship proof, where he fought alongside Zanetti, Ronaldo and Vieri. But Inter's blue and black shirt is too heavy for Seedorf, he can not bring inter milan one championship after another like in Ajax, Real Madrid, perhaps in the 02/03 season of Serie A, Inter Milan 94th anniversary, against Juventus, Seedorf in the 6th and 90th minutes, two long-range heavy guns, Seedorf long-range long-range shots, helped Inter Milan to equalize Juventus, became Seedorf's eternal classic at Inter Milan.
In 2002, Sidorf, who was depressed at Inter, decided to move to another team in Milan, AC Milan. In San Siro, Seedorf no longer needs to take on the position of the core of the midfield, because here, there are Pirlo, Rui Costa, Seedorf around these "handsome", playing the "will" of the guardians, and see how many red and black fans have been in Milan for 10 years in Seedorf.
The 26-year-old Seedorf, without the speed of the wind, his ball control looks a little even a little slow, very sticky, but you rarely see him concede the ball, if you do, it must happen when Seedorf is careless, idle and casual, is part of Seedorf's style in Milan, whether it is Rivaldo, Rui Costa, Kaka, he can play a good role as a good midfielder, he always quietly assists those who have exquisite footwork. And Seedorf on the sidelines, who can joke with any team member, Chinese fans gave the nickname of "political commissar" to Seedorf.
The 06/07 season was Seedorf's most glorious season in AC Milan, beating Bayern and Manchester United with his own goals in the Champions League, carrying the old AC Milan into Athens, and the script of The Night of Istanbul was not staged again, the Rossoneri successfully avenged Liverpool, and on the pitch, the picture of Seedorf, who lifted the Champions League trophy for the fourth time, ran wildly, becoming an unforgettable picture for many Westdorf fans.
In 2012, the last league game, Seedorf's over-the-top pass, Inzaghi's anti-offside volley, as if just yesterday, that goal, announced the end of a Milan era, although Seedorf did not win any dazzling personal crown, but in the eyes of many people, he is still a great king, an ageless king who makes football show a different charm.
Seedorf's slow-paced style of play, which may be slowly eliminated in modern football, which emphasizes wholeness and speed, will never be outdated in our memories. When Seedorf returned to Milan to coach, it was as if it were a return of time, as he said: "This is not a return, because I have not left Milan when I come back".
The recollection of the football years that have passed does not need to be consistent with the real memory, because your most perfect part has been permanently preserved in the memory. The moment see sees Seedorf wave goodbye, the last reserved moment of our Milan years, the spirit of Seedorf, and these memories, after our tears have dried up, bring us back to tears – a tribute to the "Commissar" Seedorff
