An extraordinary player who combined every possible attribute of technique, vision, intelligence, timing, class and talent with the physical strength a great midfielder needs. A true baller, living legend!
He was not underrated. If you followed football at that time everyone knew who he was and how good he was. - He also played for AC MIlan, who was elite at the time, so how the fudge was he underrated? -- Heck he played for a powerhouse (on paper) Holland too. Underrated. In your dreams, maybe.
One of the most iconic teams to ever play the game: Kaka, pirlo, maldini, wow. And he clearly stands out, shows his class. It really feels like football was different back then. Can’t imagine what a seedorf transfer fee would be today…
Wrong, at the age of 33-34 he was like a shell of himself, he was even booed by his own fans. Don't get me wrong, Seedorf is one of the best midfielders of all time, but after 2007 the only word i can think of is "decline"
@@wesleyschneider926 no i'm not, you don't know what you're talking about, trust me. I'm italian and i know several Milan supporters, they would tell you the same.
@@paolopetraglia8639 You are right. Even though he was still a good player and had moments of magic that would allow to make a great compilation, on a season long time frame he wasn't THAT good, and that is what matters when you want to win. Also, even though he LOOKS psychically fit, it did not translate in his fitness on the field. At 33-34 he didn't have any speed, for instance, although he was able to somewhat compensate that with his vision and positioning.
God this guy was just the complete package...and to imagine AC had a combination of seedorf, pirlo, Gatuso/Ambrosini, and the icing on the cake kaka to call upon as their midfield options was scary....that Ac Milan team was truly legendary.
One of the best all-around players in modern football. Period. His tremendous deployment gave an extra to the teams where he was, influencing these teams to take a step forward, from being excellent teams to being champions. The numbers that support what I say are there.
I disagree. I felt he got better with age and time. He was very raw at Ajax and Real Madrid. At AC he was consistent, solid and his all round game was better.
Outstanding CM. Had absolutely everything. Combine power n finesse the way very few have ever done so. Despite his trophy laden mantel he remains weirdly underrated.
Me neither. Here he is like Modric and Salah combined in some impossible ultra technical attacking visionary. Never realised he was this good. Actually think he is very much like Bellingham in his movement, amazing anticipation and ability to move his body and the ball in subtle but powerful ways, fast acceleration, brutal strike power and clinical finishing.
Something about the dutch players of the 90's and 00's. Bergkamp, Kluivert, Seedorf, Davids, Overmars, Van Nistelrooy, Van der Saar, etc, etc. They blew my mind as those were the years I was really learning to appreciate and fall in love with the game. The Dutch, despite no other affiliation, have a place in my heart 'til this day. They shaped the qualities of top players for me, perhaps more than any other nation.
Even though he played his last match in '93 and therefore does not entirely fit in that list, I would still like to mention Marco van Basten. Due to an ankle injury he played his last match at the age of 27, and by then he had already won the Ballon d'Or three times. Maybe not everyone sees him as one of the greatest of all time, but that certainly would have been the case without that injury.
Ajax coach players from a very young age to be able to play in every position. They don't care how good you are in your favoured position, they want to see how you cope in all the positions. This is how you end up with all rounders like Bergkamp, Davids, Seedorf, Sneidjer, Frenkie De Jong.
Kobbie Mainoo reminds me of Seedorf in the way he moves; his composure and balance. His close control, passing and vision might be on par at some point in the future but I don't know about his shot (yet). It may proof to be difficult to reach the same level as Seedorf in each regard, goes to show how complete a player Seedorf was.
Came here to say this but you beat me to it. Kobbie is very talented, needs to work on imposing himself more in games which I think he will do when he gets a bit more confident.
He is also very intelligent. Love Clarence the pundit - speaks Dutch, English, Italian and Spanish. These clips are great what a player - power, pace, dribbling, awareness, passing, fitness, and could play anywhere in midfield. Completely underrated in England.
@@clyde.n7578 they both have same the same number of champions league's. both played for amazing teams, but Zidane played for better teams overall at club and international levels. Imo they are just as good.
Thank you for showing how unreal Seedorf was. I don't think he gets the recognition that he deserves - possibly because he did not play in England and he was in Seria A at his peak.
He make other midfiled shine bright, pirlo kaka know that.. no midfielder today has composure when received the ball, he knew what he should did after.. thank u Clerence for being part of my beloved club ❤
As a Liverpool fan since 2006 I can only say this player is like if Firmino + Coutinho were fused into one. The vision, touch, reading of the game, trickery, link up play, finishing, variation bt power and finesse, willingness to take ppl on. It’s like 2 Brazilians into one. Fantastic.
I have no idea who Mainoo is. I came here only to rewatch Seedorf. Probably the purest CM in football history. Hard to describe to the new generation just how good he was. Even if he didn't score, you knew things were going to happen if this guy was in the middle.
Seedorf was amazing just like his contemporaries but if you want to enjoy watching Seedorf then the raw,younger version at Ajax and Real Madrid was also a joy to watch especially his friendship and connection with Roberto Carlos at Madrid!
His true number should be 1068 as those are all the midfield positions that he covers and excels at. Absolutely insane, the only recent midfielder that still plays and covers all midfield positions like Seedorf is Modric. Just so unique since more and more players are becoming specialised in one single position than multiples❤🖤
Il Professore (The Professor) for his overall intelligence and intellect. A polyglot as he’s fluent in his native Dutch along with English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. He also won four Championship League titles with three different clubs. Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan. He had incredible athleticism, tenacity, ability, skill, stamina, determination and talent.
Plus Milan's midfield at the time so much more enjoyable: Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka and Gattuso - doesn't get any better than that. I'd pick them any day over Zizou, Becks, Guti and Gravesen.
Zidane is way better than him. Zizou was more offensive than him. Zizou brings the danger to you himself. He will not give the ball to someone else to miss the opportunity. He will pass you the ball at the best moment. Zidane is more vertical than him. Don’t let this footage lie to you. I have seen Seedorf missing tone of opportunities to score. But Zidane is not the case. I have never seen a player with Zidane IQ. When Zidane was playing with France, Spain with Xavi and Iniesta, Italy with Totty and Del Pierro or Pirlo, Brazil with Kaka and Ronaldinho and Ronaldo and Robinho and Adriano, France was winning these great team and for the all part of these victories Zizou was orchestrating the game flow. Zidane was not really spectacular like Ronaldinho but he was often making the right call. Zidane was the beauty of football, the elegance of the game in motion. Zidane is the real GOAT.
In seedorfs time and perhaps before 2009, until guardiola came...players played with their own brain deciding on the decisions in real time on the play field..managers like guardiola ruined the game in a way. He tells you if it happens like you do this. If that happens you do this, he doesn't encourage players who want to base their play on spontaneous creativity and decisions that the player would like to take himself, rather he prefers players who will behave as robots to his instructions and carry out exactly as wanted otherwise you are out of the team.
You would've been correct had it not been for the fact that Clarence Seedorf grew up in the Ajax Amsterdam Academy that created the Barcelona and Pep Guardiola philosophy of Total Football. The Barcelona DNA is actually the Dutch DNA that groom Seedorf. Pep doesn't really change player's style; he just teach them how to play on the half-turn, since all his players must be able to beat the press: beit defender, midfielder, or a striker. Seedorf's individuality would've been welcomed by Pep, seeing it would enhance his team. Where Pep takes issue is when one's individuality hinders the team play. I think your observation is very insightful, though I disagree to an extent. I think you overlooked an important aspect of past players as it pertains to modern players; players of the past were more skillful and creative. Yes, I know I just blasphemed...😂
@@malakyahmalla8009 Your insight regarding the link between the Dutch/Ajax footballing philosophy and the playing style cultivated at the La Masia Barcelona academy, renowned for its excellence, is accurate. Nevertheless, it remains entirely plausible that despite Seedorf's shared exposure to these footballing principles that shaped Guardiola as a player, Guardiola, in his role as a coach, took those very principles to new heights, embracing a level of meticulous management that one could argue borders on micromanagement.
@@sdotlondonkid I couldn't disagree with your assessment here. Re micromanagement, let's use Raheem Sterling as an example of Pep's meticulous nature. Though this will be an unpopular opinion, I believe that Raheem is currently one of the most tactically astute players in World Football, and this is down to Pep's relentlessly nature. In fact, Raheem has mastered the art of getting behind the defense, though his finishing is woeful! Raheem was for City what Pedro was for Barcelona. If anyone should be studied as a blueprint of Pep's micromanagement skills it would be Sterling. I put it to you that much of negative attention that Raheem gets is down to his skill of breaking the defensive line. That is why his misses tend to overshadow the above skill taught to him by Pep!
Players who are muscular and powerful like him, they usually tend to be quite wooden and basic, but this guy was sauve, had guile, elegance and composure on the ball to go with his unmatched physicallity. In many ways he was a perfect fit for the PL. I remember how raw and inconsistent he was at Ajax and Real Madrid, but at AC and also at Inter, his all round game just developed so incredibly well and he became a midfield enforcer off the ball and a midfield mastero on it. Must have been such a difficult player to play against. Rocket of a shot as well.
Kobbie Mainoo with the right coaching.....Maybe one day...who knows. However, four champions league titles with: Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan is from a different planet!
He was a titan of the midfield! I have a request, i would like to see a video made by you about Pavel Nedved, another titan of the midfield, a complete video like this one, not only with goals, but goals, passings and dribbling.. thank you if you do it❤
@@subliminal_donkey true! Pavel Nedved was the diamond tip of the team, but it was a great team composed by very good players, no doubt! Talking about my childhood when I started to love Nedved i say Nedved, Trezeguet and Del Piero were my Messi, Suarez and Neymar when I was an 8-9 years old kid in 2002 and 2003.. in that period Juventus was wonderful! Too bad Nedved missed that UEFA Champions League final at Old Trafford against AC Milan another great team, but i'm convinced if Nedved was in the final Juventus would have won the game and the trophy because Nedved in 2003 was too much good, but Juventus had not a sotitute of him, in AC Milan there were Rui Costa and Rivaldo like Attacking midfielders, while Juventus had not an alternative in that role (the alternative was Camoranesi but he was not in his prime and however his primary role was right midfielder second role central midfielder and only third role attacking midfielder) This is Juventus 2002/03 probably my favourite Juventus of all of time: . Buffon . Thuram Ferrara Montero Birindelli . Tacchinardi . Zambrotta E.Davids . Nedved . Trezeguet Del Piero Coach: Marcello Lippi Nowadays i'm disappointed with Juventus, i hope Juve can early return the ancient Juve.. one of the most beautiful team in the world..
The fuck? You should put some respect in his name and stop calling him uNdErRaTeD. 87 caps is pretty good for his calibre of player, and yet you disrespect a legend calling him uNdErRaTeD. What's next? RvN is underrated? Stupid comment.
Seedorf was the perfect player, he literally had EVERYTHING in his locker and was good enough to play in any position. He was more complete then Zidane, Veira, Pirlo, Scholes. He is underrated in hindsight because he could do everything at a highest level. If he was Brazilian...
Possibly the most complete footballer ever he could do everything he could score, assist, dribble, defend and he had that Dutch flair imo he is the greatest midfielder of all time.... you heard that right THE GREATEST
Combine the strength of a bear, lungs like a horse, technique like a magician, a shot as a rocket and the iq of Einstein on the pitch = Clarence Seedorf.
shit he was good. no he was too good. I never thought there's a player playing 20 years ago beining able to play at the top level today. But he would do it! He has every thing. Literally everything a footballer needs! Skill, pace, inteligence, goals, power, ..
Damn that turn at 1:37 Seems insignificant and simple but it's such an important move to eliminate the opponent who was pressing and free up the team mate on the run.
Everyone saying Mainoo is the new Seedorf. He certainly has alot of potential, and he is very young..however I do feel like those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Give it time, maybe he wont be, maybe he will succeed Seedorf, who knows.. the bar is high though that's for sure..maybe in 10 years time he will 4 champions leagues under his belt.
An extraordinary player who combined every possible attribute of technique, vision, intelligence, timing, class and talent with the physical strength a great midfielder needs. A true baller, living legend!
The only person close is Toure YaYa
sincerely, i see him to be zizou's direct replacement
Rate scholes higher
As I remembered, Seedorf in his younger day were known for his physicality and stamina, along with Edgar Davids

Too bad Nedved missed that UEFA Champions League final at Old Trafford against AC Milan another great team, but i'm convinced if Nedved was in the final Juventus would have won the game and the trophy because Nedved in 2003 was too much good, but Juventus had not a sotitute of him, in AC Milan there were Rui Costa and Rivaldo like Attacking midfielders, while Juventus had not an alternative in that role (the alternative was Camoranesi but he was not in his prime and however his primary role was right midfielder second role central midfielder and only third role attacking midfielder)
This is Juventus 2002/03 probably my favourite Juventus of all of time:
. Buffon
. Thuram Ferrara Montero Birindelli
. Tacchinardi
. Zambrotta E.Davids
. Nedved
. Trezeguet Del Piero
Coach: Marcello Lippi
Nowadays i'm disappointed with Juventus, i hope Juve can early return the ancient Juve.. one of the most beautiful team in the world..
Seedorf and pirlo are two of the most underrated player in the football history...True genious 👍♥️
He scored another beauty in the benefit game for Ukraine last week!
The comparisson may not be perfect, but I feel that Camavinga has a similar playstyle, with more agility but less strenght.
Spot on, Camavinga lack the final third effectiveness but he's only 20, it should come with age
Put some respect on his name! Ridiculously underrated even in his own country!
Well he played shit at the home team. No way to deny that.
Should he have been used better , 100%
The fuck? You should put some respect in his name and stop calling him uNdErRaTeD. 87 caps is pretty good for his calibre of player, and yet you disrespect a legend calling him uNdErRaTeD. What's next? RvN is underrated? Stupid comment.
Its his *awareness and finesse for me*. Guy was jus too good
what a player he was. he never got the recognition he deserved.
what do you mean?
EXTRAORDINARY. This VIDEO IS UNDERRATED
I love him as a player but the man is just as impressive . His mentality and attitude sustains to this day .
It is how effortlessly he does it for me. Makes it look almost easy!
wow! I most certainly enjoyed that. what a player. extraordinary
One of the best central midfielders in history true legend and cl winner with 3 different clubs
One of the best ever. Pretty much the perfect midfielder. Him and Ronaldinho was just on another level technique wise. Wizards of football.
hes the midfielder i hope camavinga can develop into
I wanted to comment this, but then found yours. 100% agree.
Patrick Vieira for me
100% this is who camavinga needs to be studying. He has the talent and physical traits to reach that level.
Stop It... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂camavimga who blows hot and cold never
He got No. 10 in such a talented team for a reason
When I watch kobbie Mainoo play. I can remember a of Clarence Seedorf
And this was at the end of his career, when he was at Real Madrid he was an absolute beast
Kobbie mainoo plays like this ❤️
Seedorf for sure one of the best midfielders of all time
He had the skills and the shooting power, he is still in great condition if he wanted to play. What a legend.
Seedorf was the perfect player, he literally had EVERYTHING in his locker and was good enough to play in any position. He was more complete then Zidane, Veira, Pirlo, Scholes. He is underrated in hindsight because he could do everything at a highest level. If he was Brazilian...
One of my all time favorites
Possibly the most complete footballer ever he could do everything he could score, assist, dribble, defend and he had that Dutch flair imo he is the greatest midfielder of all time.... you heard that right THE GREATEST
What a player he was
who here because of kobbie mainooooooooooo
He is the first kobbie mainoo
pure flair this guy
He’s been reborn in Mainoo
Strength, stamina and elegance
everything you want from a midfielder, Seedorf has it all
Combine the strength of a bear, lungs like a horse, technique like a magician, a shot as a rocket and the iq of Einstein on the pitch = Clarence Seedorf.
Made playing football look effortless❤
Who came here because of Kobbie Mainoo❤
Even seedorf himself told that mainoo’s playstyle is similar as his. The way we saw him on the pitch, he’s composed.
Me too...i'm come here because i looking mainoo skill like seedort
Me too 😅
Me too came because kaka
Not me
shit he was good. no he was too good.
I never thought there's a player playing 20 years ago beining able to play at the top level today. But he would do it!
He has every thing. Literally everything a footballer needs! Skill, pace, inteligence, goals, power, ..
We can understand that each player in football history is unique and will never be repeated. Lets stop comparing
Rated but yet very underrated
It’s made you made a compilation of Seedorf this good from when he was actually past his prime lol
Pep encourages individual skill to help the team and system!Predictability makes routines easier for the players in the team!
This guy and pirlo in the same mid field... Just oozes class
This guy is too good
Damn that turn at 1:37
Seems insignificant and simple but it's such an important move to eliminate the opponent who was pressing and free up the team mate on the run.
😮it’s as if I am watching Koobie Mainoo 2 years from now. Similar style - press resistance - calm and composed
Fantastic video. Class player, Seedorf is a legend. First song was good, rest wasn't to me, but hey. That's life.
The guy was so underrated
Everyone saying Mainoo is the new Seedorf. He certainly has alot of potential, and he is very young..however I do feel like those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Give it time, maybe he wont be, maybe he will succeed Seedorf, who knows.. the bar is high though that's for sure..maybe in 10 years time he will 4 champions leagues under his belt.
Seedorf's close control and first touch is even more valuable in today's game of tight spaces where every team looks to press.
