Ruud Gullit

So in midfield, he was the missing link.

And then Van Bassen came back from injury after an unbelievable European Championship.

And, you know, he is a player.

The funny thing is, Marco was very small when he was a young kid.

He was very small for a long time.

And he had this ability to play in a certain way with short dribbles, short passes and everything.

But when he grew up, he still maintained that same dribble.

And that made him so exceptional.

It's almost like you have a six-foot-three guy who dribbles like Messi, almost.

The same.

And that makes him so different than anything else.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

So the fact that I could play on different positions was also a disadvantage because I could never focus myself on one side all the time.

I remember with the national team after a while, they put me a lot on the right side because they wanted Van Basten, they had Bergkamp as well.

me on the right side.

And so I had to offer myself sometimes in a position that I didn't like.

That was not my position, but I had to do it just because of the balance of the team and all that.

And I, yes, I was really angry a lot of times about that.

So it was a disadvantage.
