Brief history of the glory of the great AC Milan team

The birth of a great team:

On December 16, 1899, a group of fans gathered in a room of the hotel in Du Nord (Du Nord) set up a sports club - Milan Football and Cricket Club. The founders were: Alfred? Alfred Edwards. After a hundred years of stormy times, it has developed into one of the world's greatest teams, AC Milan, known as the "European Dream Team" and "Devil's Army".

Early AC Milan team:

Early AC Milan's full name was become "Milan Cricket and Football Association" (Milan Cricket---Football Association), referred to as "AC Milan. ". As the appeal of soccer spread, it soon became the most popular sport in the club and the region. In 1905, the club was officially renamed "Milan Football Club". In 1906 and 1907, AC Milan won the Italian National Championship for two consecutive years, and it is worth mentioning that AC Milan was the second team to win the Italian National Championship (the second team to win the Italian National Championship) in history. AC Milan is also the second team in the history of Italy to win the National Championship (after Genoa).

In 1908, some of the players in the AC Milan team (Milan) were dissatisfied with some of the team's operational policies and announced that they were leaving the team to form the current Inter Milan team, which is commonly referred to as "Inter. Dazzling city derby ------ "Milan Derby" In 1939, AC Milan officially changed the name of the team to Italian --- Milan Associazione Calcio., indicating that soccer is the club's main project. AC Milan's home base is located in the "San Siro" district of Milan, Italy. "AC Milan's home base is located in Milan's "Sansiro" district, in the western part of the city. Since AC Milan's main stadium was built in the Sansiro district, the stadium is known to AC Milan fans as Stadio San Siro, owned by the Municipality of Milan. It is owned by the Municipality of Milan.

After the end of the Second World War, the Italian First Division resumed, and in 1947, in order to improve the quality of the league, the FA reopened the foreign aid policy, and Milan finally ushered in the first golden age - the Swedish "Troika" era.

January 22, 1949, is one of the most important days for Milan fans, the 1948 London Olympics swept all the strong won the championship of Sweden Nordahl three brothers in the old three - Gunnar Nordahl officially joined Milan. Nordahl officially joined Milan, this gentleman was born on October 19, 1921, 1 meters 74 tall, weighing 92 kilograms, strong physique makes the defenders scared and difficult to stop. Although only participated in the second half of the 1948-49 season, it proved itself, such as a tiger down the mountain, made 15 appearances, scored 16 goals, Milan eventually won the third league.

The good times had just begun, and then Milan brought in Gunnar? Glenn, Nelson? This was the most famous "Gre-No-Li" combination in the history of soccer, and it played the most beautiful chapter in Milan's history. In the brand-new 1949-50 season, Milan won 27, drew 3, and lost 8 of 38 matches in the league to accumulate 57 points, with a difference of 5 points after Juventus, finishing second. Nodal made 37 appearances and scored 35 goals, a record that remains unchallenged to this day. However this is far from Milan's ultimate goal and will only be a driving force going forward.

The great 1950-51 season finally arrived, and Nodal was a revelation, scoring 34 goals in 37 appearances, especially against Juventus and the Milan Derby in four games, all of which were victorious. In the end, Milan won 26, drew 8, lost 4, scored 107 goals and conceded 39 goals in 38 matches to accumulate 60 points, and finally won the first league title in nearly half a century (Milan's fourth league title). Milan then won the European Latin Cup (played every summer from 1949 to 1957 by the champions of the four Latin-speaking countries - Spain, Portugal, France and Italy) with a clean sweep. In the following three seasons, Milan's Swedish troika traveled south, east and west, shaking the Apennine Peninsula, and although they didn't win the championship, one second and two thirds were enough to write the history books.

Glenn moved to Fiorentina in July 1953 and died in 1991 after a long illness. To make up for Glenn's departure, Milan brought in the famous striker Juan Alberto for 72,000 pounds from Uruguay's Penarol. Alberto Schiafino. Alberto Schiafino from Penarol, Uruguay, for a world record fee of 72,000 pounds. Born on July 28, 1925, he played as a left winger, and was a key contributor to Uruguay's 1950 World Championship and 1954 World Fourth. He came to Milan and formed a new front line with two other Swedes, winning Milan's fifth league title in the 1954-55 season. Throughout the season Milan scored 81 goals and conceded 35 in 34 matches with 19 wins, 10 draws and 5 losses for 48 points, with Schiaffino scoring 15 goals in 27 appearances and Nordahl scoring 27 goals in 33 matches.

The 1955-56 season was undoubtedly another unforgettable one, as it was the last season in which Nordahl, the greatest Swedish player of all time, played for Milan. He scored 23 goals for Milan, helping them finish second in the league, and reached the quarter-finals of the inaugural European Champions Cup, losing in the semi-finals to then-formidable Real Madrid, but going on to win the Latin Cup (their second Latin Cup).

At the end of the season Nodal moved to Roma, and during his 8 years at Milan (January 22, 1949 - July 1956) he played 257 matches in the First Division, scoring 210 goals, by far the most in Milan's history, and setting a mythical record - -The league's top scorer in five seasons - 1950, 51, 53, 54, 55. On September 16, 1995 the great and powerful figure of that year passed away due to a heart attack, and since then there has been one more god of war in heaven.

The Swedish "Troika" only left Ledholm, but as the captain of the team, he was the core of the team, under his leadership, the 1956-57 season, Milan's 34 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats with 48 points again on the podium (Milan's sixth league title), the league was defeated by Fiorentina in the league. At the time, Milan was challenged by new forces in the league such as Fiorentina and Lazio, and Milan still got through. Due to the decline of Milan's overall strength, in the following 1957-58 season, Milan fell to 9th place, and in the European competition, the semi-final opponent was Manchester United, who suffered from the Munich air disaster, and then met Real Madrid in the final, the whole game had ups and downs, and the 90-minute battle was tied 2-2, and in the 107th minute of extra time, Hunto scored a goal, and lost the Champions League. The Cup was lost.

In 1958, after the World Cup, Milan killed again, from Palmeiras team poached the world champion Brazil's main center Jose Altafini. Artafini, who was born on July 24, 1938, was a great addition to the Milan team. The Milanese team reassembled the "New Troika", and in the 1958-59 season, with 20 wins, 12 draws and 2 losses in 34 matches, scored 84 goals and conceded 32 goals for 52 points to regain the league title (Milan's seventh), with Artafini scoring 28 goals in 32 appearances. In the following two seasons, Milan finished 3rd and runner-up.

The time for parting came at last, with Uruguayan shot-stopper Schiafino moving to Roma in the summer of 1960. The Swedish hero Ledholm announced his retirement in 1961 after 12 years with Milan, *** playing 359 league matches, scoring 81 goals, winning 4 league titles and 2 Latin Cups. 1976 saw the former captain return to Milan again, winning the league title again 3 years later, which was an afterthought. His retirement marks the end of the Swedish "Troika" era, and Milan will welcome another era.

Step into the glory of AC Milan team

Gianni Rivera, the first player to play for Milan, was born on August 8, 1943, in the city of Milan. Rivera was born on August 26, 1943 in the city of Alessandroia, since childhood preferred soccer, at the age of 13 by the Pedroni coach found, joined the Alessandroia Football Club B team, the team for his special configuration of the coach, a move to teach him. 15 years old participated in the youth league 8 games, and was soon found by the wealthy Milan (in fact, Milan has always been wealthy) to 182,000 U.S. dollars. The original club had to cut their losses for the sake of his future.

At that time, Rivera's body is thin, not tall, off the field as quiet as a rabbit, on the field like a tiger, technical action is very beautiful, control the ball steadily, pass the ball quasi-precise, disk with a passer like no one else's territory, the penalty box shoots the foot fantastic, header kung fu is excellent. The young boy with extraordinary skills, good character and soccer sensitive awareness of Milan's joy, and it is his arrival, Milan ushered in another spring.

In the 1960-61 season, Milan finished second to Juventus after an unfavorable start to the season, but in the 1961-62 season, under the leadership of Artafini, Milan won the championship (Milan's 8th league title) with 52 points, 3 points ahead of Juventus. Rivera scored 20 goals to top the scoring charts, and was selected for the Italian national team in the same year.

The 1962-63 season was an important year in Milan's history, as the team focused entirely on Europe, finishing 3rd in the league, but making it to the final of the Champions League once again, on May 22, 1963 at Wembley Stadium in London, against the Panthers. "Eusebio led the Portuguese team Benfica. Milan's team had Peruvian staring defender Victor Benitez and Brazilian midfielder Viktor Bennetts in their ranks. Benitez, Brazilian midfielder Dino Sanni, and the striker's goal-scoring team. Sunny and the front line scoring machine Artafini composed of the "South American troika", but Eusebio first broke the deadlock in the 18th minute of the first half by dribbling past Trapattoni. In the second half, it was Rivera's turn to perform, and in the 58th and 66th minutes, two excellent passes helped Artafini score twice, and Milan finally turned back to win, and for the first time in European football (Milan's first Champions League).

At the same time, Milan qualified for the Intercontinental Cup against Santos, led by Pele. Milan won 4-2 at home, but were beaten by 4 goals in a row in the away leg when they were leading 2-0 (a repeat of Milan's Champions Cup victory a few years later), and then lost 0-1 in the play-offs two days later for the Intercontinental Cup (the predecessor of the Toyota Cup, which was held in a separate home-and-away competition).

Because of Rivera's outstanding performance, that year, the best players in Europe ranked second in the selection, the first is the famous Soviet Union goalkeeper "Octopus" Yashin, and Rivera was less than 20 years old, ask the world of football today, Ronaldo, Zidane can be compared to him? Maybe Kaka can have a go.

Perhaps it was a case of too much fame too soon, or too much expectation, but the following seasons, Rivera's performance was average. The team's performance declined again and again, finishing third in 1963-64 and second the following year, but dropping to 7th in 1965-66, and finishing 8th in the league in 1966-67, despite winning the F.A. Cup (Milan's 1st F.A. Cup), with captain Cesare Maldini's life in the hands of the team's leader. The 1966 World Cup saw a mediocre performance by Villa, who were also criticized for their poor performance in the tournament.

At this critical moment, the owner recalled Nerio Rocco, the coach who had led Milan to its first Champions League. In the 1967-68 season, Milan recovered, under the guidance of Rocco, 18 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses in 30 matches, scoring 53 goals and conceding 24 goals for a total of 46 points to regain the title (Milan's 9th league title), leading the 2nd place by as much as 9 points. And the European field is also high, good news, in 1968 Rotterdam, Netherlands, 2-0 defeated the German Hamburg team won the European Cup Winners' Cup laurels (Milan's first Cup Winners' Cup). That year another legend came to life, the Prince of Milan, Paolo Maldini. Paulo Maldini, the Prince of Milan.

In the following 1968-69 season, Milan were runners-up in the league, and went all the way to the final of the Champions League, where they were up against Ajax, the newest team in Europe, led by Cruyff, and won the Champions League (Milan's second Cup) on May 28, 1969, in a 4-1 victory at the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain. 2nd Cup), with Platty scoring a hat-trick in the 10th, 39th and 75th minutes, and Somani adding the icing on the cake in the 66th minute. Some years later, Milan in the Champions Cup again 4-0 tease Cruyff led the European dream team - Barcelona, perhaps Milan is Cruyff's eternal nightmare, but it is his 3 favorite students created another Milan's glory, which is an afterthought. At the end of the same year, Milan beat Bilardo by a total score of 4-2? Perón (Chelsea Perón's father) led the Argentine Plata University team to win the Intercontinental Cup (Milan's 1st Intercontinental Cup) for the first time.

It was these performances that led to Rivera being named European Footballer of the Year in 1969, and then in the 1970 World Cup, facing West Germany in the semi-finals, the two sides were tied 3-3, and at the crucial moment, Rivera came on to score the crucial goal that sent the West Germans packing.

Just as Milan was winning, the FA once again imposed restrictions on foreign players, and the Red and Blacks suffered great losses, finishing 4th in the league in 1969-70, and losing all three seasons from 1970-73, finishing second for three years in a row, but winning the FA Cup twice (in the 1971-73 seasons), and winning the FA Cup twice (in the 1972-73 seasons). Season two won the FA Cup (Milan's 2nd and 3rd FA Cup), 1972-73 season again crowned European Cup Winners' Cup champion (Milan's 2nd Cup Winners' Cup).

In the 1973-74 season, Milan's defense of the European Cup Winners' Cup was lost, and the league slipped to 7th, so Rocco, the famous manager of the generation, resigned from his post at the age of 62 and returned to his hometown. Although Rocco left, but he brought endless glory to Milan, and left a large number of excellent coaches to the world soccer world. These include Luigi Radice, who led Torino to the league title in the 1975-76 season. Ladisce, who led Napoli to the league title in the 1989-90 season, Alberto Bianchi, who led Napoli to the league title in the 1992-96 season. Bianchi, who led Napoli to the league title in the 1989-90 season, and Nevio Scala, who led Parma to the league title in the 1992-96 season. Scala, who won the European Cup Winners' Cup, League Cup, and Super Cup, was dismissed for not being able to play in the Champions League, and was replaced by current Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti. And Cesare Maldini, the manager who led Italy's 21-year-old national team to the European title. Maldini,

The greatest of all is undoubtedly gold medal-winning coach Trapattoni, who won seven league titles in Italy alone, coached Bayern Munich in Germany and is now the head coach of the Italian national team, which is aiming to win this year's European Championship.

After Rocco's departure, the team's seven-year German defensive stalwart Heinz? Schneeringer announced his retirement, and Milan was left with Rivera alone to support the red and black flag.

In 1974-76, Milan finished 5th and 3rd in the league. In order to stop the decline, former hero Ledholm (one of the Swedish Troika and Milan's captain) stepped up to rejoin Milan in the 1976-77 season, and despite falling to 10th in the league, the FA Cup was won once again (Milan's 4th FA Cup). In 1977-78 Milan moved up to 4th place in the league, and in 1978-79, after 3 years of tireless work, they finally regained the league title (Milan's 10th league title), which had been missing for 11 years.) Importantly in this championship team was Milan's future wonder-coach Capello, and another legend was brewed when the ingenious Ledholm pushed the under-18-year-old Baresi into the first division as a free agent.

At the end of the season, at the age of 36, Rivera retired in a hurry and said goodbye to the green field, playing for Milan for 20 full seasons, making 510 league appearances, scoring 122 goals, winning 1 European Footballer of the Year, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 2 Champions Cups, 2 Cups of Champions, 3 league championships, 4 F.A. Cups, and making 65 appearances on behalf of his national team to finish as the runner-up at the World Cup in '70. In the club's centennial celebration of the selection of the best players of the 20th century, another talented scorer Bastian lost to Rivera by one vote, he said this: "I am just a small stage in the history of AC Milan, while Rivera is eternal!"

Perhaps the free arrangement of the underworld, perhaps the times make heroes, 20 years ago Rivera from the hands of Ledholm took over the red and black flag, 20 years later he handed over to the Baresi. Yet who knew that what awaited Milan after Rivera's retirement was a vacuum?

The AC Milan team in the doldrums

The clock was turned back to May 8, 1960, when a farmer's family in a small northern town called Travagliato, Italy, added a little boy to their family. Time traveled as if it were 10 years later. The boy began his soccer career at the local club. On the soccer field his character is a little shy and even timid, but skillful, broad vision. 14 years old after a friend recommended to Milan to participate in two consecutive tests, the first time to play defender, the second as a free agent, including Trapattoni, Vitali, Rivera and other unanimously appreciated, and from then on with the red and black army united in a bond. At the time of the manager Riedholm immediately recognized him as a horse of a thousand years old, less than 18 years old, was entrusted with the important task, invited away the defense general Tulone to make way for him, as a free man on April 23, 1978 began his debut performance in Serie A, 2-1 victory over Verona, he is the world's greatest steel defender, the embodiment of integrity, a symbol of loyalty - Franco? Barresi.

However, the Riviera was too old to retire, and the FA once again restricted foreign players. The 1979 team finished third, but after the season there was a scandal involving Milanese bosses suspected of involvement in football betting fraud, players suspected of gambling, and match-fixing at Lazio, and the team was forcibly relegated to the second division by the FA.

After the relegation, most of the players of the team have to climb another branch, far away, but Baresi stayed, because he insisted on a life motto - a good man does not serve two masters. 1980-81 season in the second division of the Milan bravely won the championship, back to the ranks of the first division, but due to the strength of the weak, 1981-82 season only ranked 14th. In the 1981-82 season, Milan finished 14th and fell into the second division again. This time, however, Baresi chose to be loyal once again, and he said a very simple but touching sentence: "I am a member of AC Milan, and I am determined to stay!" After a season of hard work, Milan once again returned to the First Division as champions of the Second Division, and from then on Milan began to embark on the path of revitalization, completely free from the unbearable nightmare.

His character and skills y impressed the Italian national team manager Bealzot, and eventually Italy won the 3rd World Cup, the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Italy won the championship, there are two things jaw-dropping, the first is that Rossi has just finished two years of sitting in the ball banned from being selected for the national team, scoring 6 goals to get the best scorer and the best player of the title; the other is that the second league The other was the selection of Baresi, a League Two player, to sit at the back, and Italy became the second team after Brazil to win three world championships.

The Rising AC Milan Team

In May 1980 the Italian Football Federation once again opened up its foreign aid policy, limiting each team to two foreign aiders. Milan returned to the first division and purchased foreign aid year after year, but the results were only in the middle of the table, even in 1985, the "golden boy" Rossi and "Prince of Milan" Maldini joined, the team still did not improve, completely sick, must be drastically reformed.

February 1986 was a turning point for Milan, when the rich man Silvio Berlusconi paid $20 million for a new team. Berlusconi bought a majority stake in the club for 20 million dollars, thus manipulating the power of life and death of Milan. It is his tireless efforts and almost gambling a series of investment and decision to create the history of Milan and even the entire European football history of the greatest "Dutch Three Musketeers era", become the world football world's most beautiful scenery.

Berlusconi was born on September 29, 1936 in Milan, had obtained a law degree, his father was a local bank official, by genetic influence, as a child, showed shrewd business talent, the student period through the help of classmates to help make the examination paper and get extra income. 26 years old when he set up a construction company, in the 60's in Milan real estate boom and make a fortune. 1978 years old 42 years old, he set up a cable TV station, and the company was the most famous in Milan, the most famous in the world. In 1978, at the age of 42, he set up Cablevision, a privately owned commercial TV station that by law could only broadcast locally, but by buying American TV series cheaply and inserting advertisements he recorded himself, he quickly gained a national audience, and by 1986 had captured 80% of the national commercial TV market.

Today Berlusconi is a rich man with more than 500 companies, including Italy's three largest privately owned television stations, the largest publishing company, the famous AC Milan soccer team, as well as banking, insurance, and other businesses. Forbes magazine estimated in 2000 that he ranked 21st on its list of the world's richest people.

In addition to his great business achievements, he has twice been elected Prime Minister of Italy and is currently seeking re-election. His name is a symbol of power in Italy, the lion of the construction industry, the emperor of department stores, the czar of journalism, and the tycoon of soccer.

As Hubert Kipling, one of the founders of Milan, put it, "The man who is the most powerful man in the world. As one of the founders of Milan, Hubert Kipling, said "red is the color of the devil, and black exudes terror", in February 1986, Berlusconi took over AC Milan immediately after the transformation of the adjustment, the high price of Giovanni? Giovanni Galli, the jade-faced Yama Masaro, enough to make the San Siro burn Donadoni and other big names, in April dismissed the team's famous star and coach Ledholm, another Milan player of the past Capello began to take the helm. His intentions were clear, aiming to win the title, but the results did not satisfy him.

So he continued to look for a suitable coach, and at this time there is a person who broke into his vision - this is the creation of Milan has a great career Sacchi. Sacchi was unknown at the time, just in the second and third teams wandering, 1985-86 season led Parma to the second in the second division to the second, 1986-87 season in the second round of the FA Cup eliminated Milan, the game Sacchi fully demonstrated his regional defense, aggressive attacking tactical ideas, in the stereotypical defensive Italian football world is like a blow to the wind. In the game, Sacchi fully demonstrated his tactical ideas of zone defense and aggressive attack, which was a refreshing breeze in the stereotypical defensive Italian soccer world. It is this point y impressed the thirst of Berlusconi, 1986-87 season ended, he defied other people's concerns and suspicions, resolutely Milan coach's letter of appointment to the April Fool's Day born, by the shoe businessman changed to become a coach in the hands of the Sacchi. Sacchi in any case could not have imagined that there will be such a strange encounter, but also excited tears.

Sacchi character persistent, never give up, for people rigid, arbitrary, very not together, but Berlusconi convinced of their own judgment, decided to put all the bets on the Sacchi, with people do not suspect that people do not use, and accepted Sacchi's purchasing plan, which includes the Dutch Three Musketeers, is determined to do a great job, the real interpretation of the profound meaning of red and black.

In the Milan clubs have changed drastically, when the big recruitment, in the world's lowest altitude country - the Netherlands is the emergence of some very good players, seems to be specifically for Milan to prepare. In fact, the Netherlands is not only famous for tulips and windmills, soccer has never lack of talent, a generation of pride Cruyff swept the world that year is a clear example.

Luther? Gullit, born on September 1, 1962 in the Amsterdam suburb of Allem, his father is Surinamese, his mother is Dutch, and he inherited his father's skin color and his mother's dexterity. 9 years old when he began to play football, taller, playing as a striker, the header of the ball is very good, and was nicknamed the "lion's head". 12 years old Cruyff in the tenth World Cup, the world's largest football team, the world's largest football team, the world's largest basketball team. The 10th World Cup, and sitting next to the TV set Gullit watched like a drunk, at the same time, the heart of the wish to play like Cruyff. 16 years old to join the Ajax youth team, the second year into the first team; 18 years old into the Alam team; 20 years old into the Feyenoord team to help the team to get the second in the league, and in the European Union Cup into the quarter-finals, and since then attracted the world's attention.

In 1983, at the age of 36, Cruyff joined the Feyenoord team, and his pure ball skills and the quality of the soccer masters, superhuman awareness gave Gullit a great enlightenment, with an idol and role model on the side, Gullit made rapid progress. 1985 again transferred to the Eindhoven team, and began to soar. I don't know how many clubs there are in Holland, but Gullit seemed to run through every one of them, a bit like a young martial arts warrior who visits all the schools of the world. And then two transfers to Milan, Sampdoria, Chelsea, Newcastle United and so on, continue to continue their own fickle and adapt to all the characteristics.

Gullit as a free center back, flexible, fast, accurate passing, header shot power, more amazing is that he has strong organizational skills, wide vision, wide range of activities, his pace is rare, the ability to take the ball over the opponent is rarely rivaled. After Cruyff changed to Ajax coach, Basten came out of nowhere, but Gullit led the Eindhoven team in the 1985-87 three seasons against Ajax 5 wins and 1 draw, 3 times the Dutch First Division Championship, individuals won 1 time the best scorer (27 goals), 3 times in a row was named the best player in Holland, and became the successor to Cruyff there is an all-attacking, all-guarding type of Soccer superstar, people also gave him a beautiful name - "black tulip" (tulips in the best).

March 21, 1987, AC Milan to 8.5 million U.S. dollars to buy into the account, began to have a legend.

Everyone has only heard of the white crane, this time grew new insights, and it is two - the Urechins swan and the black swan.

Just four years after the king of the ball Maradona descended into the world on the same day, October 31, 1964, on the other side of the world in the Netherlands, Urechins, Mark? Van Basten came to earth at the age of four. Basten came to earth, at the age of 4, with his family moved to the capital, in the famous Ajax stadium near the home. 7 years old into the Ajax junior team, at the age of 17 years old to become the team's professional players, fortunate enough to get the Cruyff's authenticity, hard work and training to make progress quickly. 3 April 1982 against the Nijmegen debut in the game, the replacement is Cruyff (the classic moment can be regarded as a change of two In 1984, he won the European "Silver Boot" with 18 goals, and in 1987, he won the European "Golden Boot" with 35 goals, so it can be said that the sesame seed blossomed. Because he played with unparalleled elegance, known as the "swan of Urechins". 1986 November 19 evening signed a contract with Milan, the transfer fee of 12.5 million dollars.

On September 30th, 1962, Frank Rijkaard was born in the city of Aix-la-Chapelle. Rijkaard was born in a slum area of Amsterdam, he and Gullit the same Surinamese ancestry, in the love of soccer father's influence, began to play football at the age of 5, at the age of 6, and Gullit and both into the "cradle of the stars" Amsterdam Bru ...

At the age of 12, the children's football team of Amsterdam Bru. He joined the Ajax junior team at 12, the national junior team at 16, and the national team at 18, when Gullit was still on the bench.

Rijkaard adhered to the essence of the Dutch all-attacking all-defensive style of play, the defense of the ferocious snatch without mercy, the midfield organization is organized methodically, through the needle as if the flow of water, the attack on the charge of the breakthroughs, especially headers repeatedly built a miraculous success. 1985 Cruyff coaching the Ajax team, very valued Rijkaard and let him serve as the captain, hand-pointing so that he quickly became the best midfield player in the world football world. The best midfielder in the world.

In 1987, Gullit and Bastian left for the Apennines, and Rijkaard was very isolated in the team, depressed, in poor condition, and played poorly, and was reprimanded by Cruyff and then left the team in a rage, and parted ways with his mentor.

Finally joined AC Milan in 1988 as promised, and from then on began the mesmerizing Three Musketeers era.

World domination of the Milan dynasty

The much-anticipated 1987-88 season finally began, in the first 10 rounds of matches 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses only 10 points (then the implementation of the 2-point system), the League Cup was eliminated, this is the gold to build AC Milan? Gullit, Ancelotti, Galli, Donadoni were in poor form and were constantly injured. Berlusconi couldn't sit still any longer, he summoned Sacchi to San Martino Hills, just when the media unanimously thought Sacchi was out, after consulting Baresi and Galliani, Berlusconi announced that Sacchi stayed on.
