47 apps, 33 goals and 33 assists??? That's gotta be one of the best seasons I've heard of in terms of numbers
messi in 2012 want to talk to you
@@bg-sj9tx he said one of not the best.
and Italy had the best defenses in the world then
playing against tough defenses also
Honestly Im not too sure that is correct, seems way too much
My grandfather is Italian.
I have only seen him cry when my grandmother died and when he sees Marco van Basten on television.
Even when Marco gives just commentary on a football game in a language my grandfather doesn’t understand.
That tells me how great Marco was, and still is, in Italy.
Amazing!!
That’s a bit strange ngl
@@ordinaryopinion4081 football man. It’s the beautiful game. It does something to you yk?
He’s also great in the Netherlands because he was one of the men who brought us our only international trophy
You post this on EVERY van Basten video.
Verbatim.
Van Basten is the reason I started watching football. When I was 8 years old I didn’t like football but the euros were on and I saw him score a hat tick against England and it was like he was on another level to everyone else. Decades later and I’m still obsessed by him.
Same, and i'm English! Watching that '88 side was a revelation
He was the second best player of that era and for me number 10 of all time
Same age and same story! Its was euro 88!
Maybe he was one of the first to use steroids before testing
doesn't help you in football lol@@user-ct1lf3hf1v
I grown up watching him and crying when he retired. The best striker for me. When he had the ball in the pinalty box, it was almost 100% goal guarantee. Thanks Marco for all of the memories.

Yup! Kobe lived in Italy

Gullit is literally everywhere on this video 🥲 man is haunting me even outside of FUT champs btw would be good if you can make a video on him too
He mentioned him in the ac Milan video
FUT Champs 😂😂😂😂😂
Duh !! MvB played with Gullit next to him or behind him at both AC Milan and Holland, so he would be rarely more than 20 meters away .
Gullit is from Amsterdam...Ajax told him twice he wasnt good enough 😃.Gullit was a beast qiff he couldnt pass you ,he would go through you
@Houssain Al ahmafi he did that on purpose...he knew you would watch..
It's incredible to think that in his short career (only 10 years), Marco Van Basten was fully fit in only 3 (actually the first 3), and until the rest of his career he had to deal with problems with his ankles and knees, and despite these problems, he scored a massive amount of goals, won many trophies and won the Ballon d'Or 3 times.
Imagine what kind of player he could be without these injuries...
He could have a bigger legacy and continue until 2000
You could say the same about Ronaldo. The *actual* Ronaldo - the Brazilian one.
If his knees weren't such a problem, can you imagine what he could have done?

coming from someone who grew up watching 2010s football , for me the quality of strikers during the 80s and 90s were insane , even small clubs had big names. ( Shearer , R9 , Romario , Van Basten , Batistuta , Suker , zamorano , Bebeto , salas , etc) you don’t find players like them these days.

They didn’t won becausevthe wc was rigged
As a Dutch I am so proud of our players it’s so sad that we didn’t win more international trophies we arguabaly have the best best players ever for a country
Pound for pound Holland may be the one country that has produced the best players, certainly in Europe. With a population of around 15 million (and less 20-50 years ago) it is quite remarkable how many technically gifted players have come out of the Netherlands. And they keep coming. Yes, based on technical skill, Holland has underachieved. They should have won in 1974, maybe even in 1978. Not to forget the matches against Brazil in 1994 and 1998. The one in 1994 was a great, great game. Even Beckenbauer himself said around 25-30 years ago in a joint TV interview with Cruyff that Cruyff was the best player to ever come out of Europe. Marco van Basten is one of my all-time favorite players and he was without a doubt the best striker of his era and one of the best of all time.
Stop it! Brasil players shit all over Dutch
Both true.with so little population so much top class players are insane.also netherland influenced football more than any other country..!But at her top moments lost some finals that should have won.
Best players ever are from Brazil in general.
I know him. Can go to debate about best striker ever easy.
@@RobFloyd1967 1970 dutch couldnt win becaus brazil with pele was one of the best wc teams ever
The story goes that he injured his ankle while at Ajax but Cruyff made him play through it which caused permanent damage and recurring injuries.
Well the physio told the management that he is good to go. And he was one of the most essential players in Cruyffs Ajax. So let's say it like this if you are the coach of Tottenham and Harry Kane your best striker is injured and suddenly the physio says he can continue won't you want him to?? That is what cruyff did.
@@hussainabbas9578 I was never blaming Cruyff! Just saying what happened which caused MVB’s ankle issues.
If I remember correctly in his book, it was Fabio Capello. Capello knew it and can't hold his tears in MVB retirement. In Milan he never played with both healthy legs.
@@marcsugi Just Imagine, not fully fit and he won a balon'dor. Fully fit van Basten would be the best Milan and Dutch player ever

This angle is near impossible to score.
@@WritingGeekNL Yeah, this is a classic.

@@mehyeah2931its true tho people who played in that time said that many times. In fact Gullit said you only had 2 camera’s on the pitch. People would spit on you, kick you when the ball wasnt near etc. Maradona also used to get hammered sometimes, the two footed tackles were crazy 😂
Something missing from the analysis is the elegance with which he played football. It was delightful to watch him play. One of the best player. I remember a stat at Milan from La Gazzetta dello Sport at the time: he did not touch the ball a lot but 7 out of 10 time he touched the ball, it would end up in a goal.
Even as a young English lad growing up... MVB stood out from the rest ... pure class... arguably the most gifted striker I’ve ever seen
Best Striker alongside Ronaldo Nazário! Amazing Basten! That goal in Euro 88 from an unbelievable angle and all those bicycle kicks, he mastered them! My infancy idol!
Marco is by far the most complete striker in modern history. He had it all. His way of playing was timeless.

@@oswaldoguillen2843 R9 lack of heading
You are right. That is why he was dubbed "The Swan of Utrecht "
Lmao that's Messi, he can't head for good. Cr7, was complete and jumps really high.
In my opinion Greatest AC Milan player of all time and they had a lot of legends.
Yeah, in his time AC Milan only had legends.

@@tarekel-maddah1737 arguably
@@tarekel-maddah1737 agree, and Baresi. But most of all out Marco di Basta!!🇳🇱
Weah Shevchenko Rajkard Kaka Pirlo Desai Savicevic...Lot of Milan legends...but one of its own is Van Basten...one of the best striker s of all time
No Wonder when Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived at Juvenus, Capello showed him Van Bastan's videos everyday to help him improve his technique. What a Dutch legend.
Zlatan already knew van Basten at that time. They were together at Ajax.
Zlatan even got in a argue with the trainer, who said he should defend more.
Van Basten told Zlatan to save energy for attacking moments.
So Zlatan said to the trainer should I listen to you, or to (legend) van Basten...
True. Ibrahimovic was still a playground player. Great skill, but a quit poor basic technique. Cruyff once said about ibra : “he has a great technique for a poor footballer, but a poor technique for a great footballer”
Before I saw this comment I saw basten’s movement and style of play and thought zlatan plays like him
@@haaduria32 no no Marco did youth Ajax. When Zlatan left Ajax, Marco came to Ajax.
@@waso778 the part I told is literally in Zlatans book 🙄
What get's me about all these top players from the 80's and 90's is that they mastered the *basics*. Much of the skill work they employed would look simple today, but the difference is that they used them effectively and decisively. All they cared about was finding space as quickly as possible and running towards the goal, no nonsense.
Are football players any different today though? Almost all of them value effect over magic more too...
Today this is done at a higher level, also with use of calculated risks (skills or dribbles). Even defence is better than it used to be. It’s just that they’re not allowed to be as rough as in the past anymore.

Van Basten was and is my all time favourite player. It’s criminal how his career ended. Considering he was regularly playing against the toughest/best defenders week upon week, his achievements are amazing.
the foul at 8,37 was criminal
뭔가를 해서 찢어졌다
Such a shame his career met its end at only 28 years old...he was outstanding,such a class,one of the best of all time,definitely top 5 of all time for me
For me better than cr7
Thank you so much for this documentary. I grew up with Marco. Still remember his debut, his gosld. One of the greatest players I’ve ever seen.
He was much more than just good . He had everything what an excellent player needs. Technical , intelligent , strong and fast . He was more compleet than any other player.
I'm Dutch and winning the Euro1988 event was one of the greatest things I can remember. But even I didn't realize he was THAT good!
Finally, the one and only Marco van Basten! The predator, the gaol machine deserves more than he has! MVB❤️
van Basten is an absolute legend! One of the best players ever.
I can still remember his time at Ajax and AC Milan well. As a little boy I watched Ajax matches with my father. I also think he was the best striker In and round the 16 meter area
He used to live near by. And as then I guess 18 or 19, he was really patient in giving the kids in the neighbourhood pointers on their technique. And once we played a game, the "kids against him". I believe he still managed to win :D
He was as I remember a really, quite friendly guy; he didn't have any "super star syndrome". And I guess he still doesn't.
That’s pretty awesome..it’s also, nice to know he was playful off the pitch
My mother used to live in the same flat as him in utrecht. She said that even as a little kid he was like that.
@@ryandebruijn5761 Damn that's cool mate! Love hearing some random stories like this
It's honestly really cool to see that carry over later into his TV analysing stuff. Although it's probably a shame he's no longer a trainer, since we really really could use alot of those right now.
33 goals in 46 games for Milan was superb. In Italy back then, goals were difficult to score, and was a low scoring league due to small size of pitches and the defenders were best in the World.
Yeah if mbappe for example could get 39 goals and 26 assists in 46 games for PSG in 2021/22 in Ligue 1, imagine what Van Basten could get

I just got Romario in pes a week back! Absolutely lethal, in that game
@@mesf430 are you implying that he wasn't good in real life? Lol
@@no_one7456 no
How good was Romário? If Romário had have played 98 and 02 world cups, He could have been considered the football king. Unfortunately, for a lot of reasons, includind his personality, he wasn't summoned. In 1994, Brazil would be out of the world cup, so he was called against the coach willing, and he destroyed in the game facing Uruguay, what leaded Brazil to the cup and after, champion of the cup. This year, Romário was ellected the FIFA best player of the year.
My favourite all time player of any era. He was truly World Class.
Such memories, what a suberb striker he was, and I'm a Feyenoord Rotterdam fan from the cradle to the grave. Says it all. Marco, thank you!
im from 82 and i remeber that when we use to play we were pretanding to be someone, and van basten was always on our lips.even if he retired at 28 he is a LEGEND period.
Top work again one I really wanted to see, most complete centre, the man had crazy numbers and out of this world finishes. All I want now is the Shevencko video
His stats do not do van Basten justice.
The man has a grace and style to him that just made it a joy to watch him play football. He would make football look easy.
After winning the European Championship in 1988, van Basten grew into a legendary status in the Netherlands. Just mentioning his name during the 90s would give every man in the Netherlands goosebumps.
He is a legend. Played with a messedup ankle since his early 20's and still won 3 ballondors. I wish we could go back in time and see what would happen without his injury.
In my view , still the greatest centre forward ever; he had everything - shooting, heading, dribbling, hold-up, assists and of course finishing.
And no matter left or right.

And Adriano b4 his family death.
What if you mean
First UCL I ever watched, AC Milan-Goteborg 4-0, Marco scored all four; to me, Van Basten is the best ''true 9'' in history. Plain and simple. Unfortunately he couldn't play past 1994 so that he gets more acknowledgement and trophies and break some more records. His instinct was something !

Genuinely deserves to be in the conversation with Maradonna, pele and cruyff for the third best player of all time imo.
Honestly, 3 balon dors at the age of 28? He has a half of fame level career and he retired before he hit age 30, like Raymar said, If he wasn’t plagued with ankle injuries, I’m sure he’d have been the first player with 5 balon dors

6:27 When people talk about THE Van Basten goal, this is it. In the European Championship Final.
And of course it was not against some mid tear team and goal keeper. Against Daszajev who was one of the best goal keeper at that time. He was nominated the best goal keeper in that year despite they have lost in the European Championship Final agains Netherland.

No doubt about it..
Thank you so much for this Beautiful story about one of the best of the Dutch players!
Thank you for uploading I missed u😘
To the young ones: This video is about a legend in football who has etched his name on the minds of many.
Im a huge CR7 fan..i started watching football from 2007...thanks to ronaldo....but watching your videos...i get to know how great the other legends were...thanks for that
There is a lot of amazing players in history.
Not to be rude, but I never really saw Ronaldo as someone that has one truely special talent. He has this weird combination where he's exceptional at almost everything, but he's not truly special when it comes to anything except for maybe heading the ball or his work ethic off the pitch. He was an exceptional dribbler till he turned ~30, but not as good as Messi or Ronaldinho or Hazard. He has a phenomenal 'weak foot', but not as good as Sneijder or Kroos or Beckham. His finishing is superb, but it's not as good as Lewandowski, Van Basten or Ronaldo Nazario. He has style and some flair, but not that special touch that Bergkamp or Zidane had. CR7 is special for me because he is the most well rounded forwards maybe ever, but certainly not the best forward for me.
@@suckieduckie well rounded forward is too far there are a plethora more well rounded. E.g Baggio off the top of my head
@@blank1933 Maybe, but can you point out to me why he's more rounded? As far as I can tell Ronaldo is one of the few players that can actually play rightwing, leftwing, and striker.
@@suckieduckie it is not about positions it is about ability, baggio could pass dribble shoot hold the ball, run and jump all to a high standard. Cr7 never had all of those abilities at once, they were staggered if he had one he lost the other
Happy to have lived through the golden days of Dutch Soccer, with Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard still playing in the EreDivisie. Than playing for AC Milan and winning the EuroCup! Just look at the pictures of the Dutchies celebrating this win and in the 'grachten van Amsterdam' (Amsterdam's Canals). Great time to be a Dutch boy growing up.
For him (and us as a Nation) it was too bad that he got those ankle injuries. And the fiasco of 1990 World Cup... Always heard that Van Basten and other players wanted Johan Cruyff as Coach of the national team. The Dutch League chose a different coach and the team never was a team from the start.
Remember that a lot of great (international) strikers once played in the Dutch League: Ronaldo; Romario; ZLatan and Suarez are some the most recent once. They all learned from Van Basten
Van Basten was a beast. Back in the early 90's stuff about him was scarce around here and whenever something about him came in the paper kids would cut him out to hang him amongst the legends. Here in Portugal we would always idolize our national players and then Pele, Van Basten, Maradona, Raijkaard, Ronaldo... that's how big he was, he was amongst the legends.
The sad thing is , if he was playing football ten years later they could of fixed his ankle , van nistelrooy apparently had a very similar ankle issue and it was able to be sorted thanks to developments in surgery, as a AC Milan fan of that era , he will forever be my number 1 forward .
That volley at 6:33 is still one of my favourite goals ever 🔥
I always love raymar's review. He is so astonishing. Listening to raymar's review about basten it shows that what a world class player he could have been just like today's Messi or Ronaldo. But injuries didn't make his career go over for a long term
Great video. Made me look back at the Euro 88' tournament... it looked very good.
Gullit, van bastan and rijkaard 💥💥 deadly trio
As a Dutchman I grew up watching this guy, he is from the same neighboorhood as I in Utrecht. He was an amazing player. And you're right he almost never missed a penalty kick. Unfortunalty one he did miss was in in the semi final at the Euro 1992, still remember that :(
:(
My dad would love to see this video . Marco , Rudd , Franco Beresi , Brian & Micheal Laudrup & Roberto Bagio are just some that come mind . That era really had some solid players .
Nice video...never really knew much about Marco Van Basten, but now I do.
People saying Zidane scored one of the greatest goals in a cup final, clearly haven't seen the Euro 1988 final. Absolutely out of the world Goal 👏👏👏
Hmm no one say that lol goal van Basten everyone says number one.
Van Basten was almost impossible to stop in a fair way, so he was attacked and put down endlessly and it was too much for his body.
The thing about van Basten was that he wasn't just a poacher - he made his goals too, with sublime finishing, a great touch, and often from the near the edge of the box. Plus, as pointed out in this video, he also assisted many times too. Quite honestly, he is definitely one of the best strikers of all time. Shame about his early retirement.
Love your videos from Kirkcaldy Fife in Scotland keep up the good work
