Clarence Seedorf Thread

[Madridista]

You forgot to mention making a bunch of assists and scoring a couple of vital goals.

Ronaldinho can offer more to this team than Seedorf can. Fact is Milan's decline hasn't begun with Ronaldinho arrival. Things started turning shitty well before that and Seedorf's complacence was a huge part of that.

his goals have been of PKs. Pirlo, Pato, Nesta, anyone could have scored them. Dinho is garbage

 

[fengxiaoj]

And off the field as well, Seedorf is ten times more important than Ronaldinho. He is a positive influence in the dressing room, a great and smart conversationalist for interviews, and has a media image of a professional. Also, while he's usually in the news for his constructive business work, and charity, human rights, etc... Ronaldiho makes headlines for his partying, drinking, sex scandals etc...

I definitely know that Seedorf is the one any sane person would rather have on his team.

+1 Well written. It saddens me that not many people care about professionalism and other off the field attributes. I don't care if the players are out partying as long as they don't play like they haven't slept enough during the game on the next day, and complain when they get subbed out early.

Yes Dinho was randomly picked and evrybody is equally good at penalties.

I love you.

Did we buy him to score penalties? Btw, Pirlo, Nesta, and even Pippo are awesome PK takers so we don't need Ronaldinho for that.

maybe they are trying to justify the money he is making and they want to try to get his lazy ass into the game by letting him score

He's still the best at taking them.

Must be that, no way that they actually set him as a penalty taker because he has the biggest chance of scoring and winning points.

Why are we even having this discussion. Its ridiculous that Seedorf would be more important for Milan than Ronaldinho atm.

@ Ronaldo9:
You should know that Farouk is the tragic result of an attempt to clone matherchot. He hates Ron9 and possibly Ronaldinho much the same way and as always without a real reason

Seedorf is the one thats making the team tick and controlling the link between midfield and attack.

In his good days, which is one out of five. That is EXACTLY why Milan needs to replace him with Hernanes, Gourcuff or whoever.

yeah, dinho is the best in the team at taking penalties. followed by pirlo and then possibly borri. although he occasionaly misses, so does everyone and atleast he doesn't go in the same bottom left corner every penalty. (pirlo )


dinho and dorf are both hugely important for milan at the moment. dinho is the main creative output and can create assists and goals from nothing. dorf brings the ball out of the defence and can also score and assist well.

 

[Ashish]

lol dorf and dinho has a great understanding good work seedorf keep it going

 

[DSM]

Ballotelli is great.


What does that matter? If thats the logic then Maldini should have played until he's 90 and Dzeko should fuck off becaise he has never done anything for Milan, why bother even to sign him.


Ronaldinho has better technique, and Seedorf's shooting is better suited for american football.

You counted on Ronaldinho for the first two-three games of the season? What a letdown I have to admit. Thank God Seedorf was there to save the first two-three games of the season.

Seedorf never complained? Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Were talking about a guy who has thrown in a sulk time and time again when he was subbed off and that for all his intelligence, has a huge mouth in the media. btw Ronaldinho moaned about THE CHELSEA COACH for not putting him (which was indeed stupid from Carlo) AFTER he went. As for Leonardo subbing him, Ronaldinho does nothing but constantly praising him in the media. Therefore stfu.


Thats where I stopped reading. I don't care about off the field. Its ability on the field that counts. I don't care if Ronaldinho is the devil himself as long as he does magic on the field.



So now its Ronaldinho's fault for Barca not winning the title? Did you even watch Barca then? There was an underlying systemic problem there and it wasn't Ronaldinho. And the reason Milan couldn't challenge for the scudetto lately is not Ronaldinho, but lack of great striker, Nesta injured all the time w/ no replacement, crap fullbacks and oh yes, your 'conversationalist' probably thinking of his next piece of interview wisdom during every game against minnows, instead of actually pulling his finger, running and focusing.

No Sheva & no Rui Costa meant no challenge for the title after 2006.

 

[Beemer]

Seedorf gave much more than Ronaldinho to Milan

Maybe it's because Seedorf has been around at Milan FAR longer than Dinho?

 

[GreatKalu]

Clarence is a very intelligent footballer. Surely still one of the most intelligent playing today. When Rui and Sheva were around, he was able to play well with them. When Kaka' and Gila were around, same thing. Now he's doing it again with Dinho, Pato and Bori.

Milan will have a very hard time replacing him ... which is why we should bring an alternative to both him and Pirlo, so the new blood can learn from the best.

 

[Sage]

apparently Clarence is being considered by the dutch national team coach?

It would be nice to see Clarence play in the world cup

it'd be nice but he'd really only help them if he was a defender.... there defense is really poor... funny i dont remember the dutch having THIS poor defense in in the past

 

[Calum1903]

Pedro might tell me I'm talking bollocks, but I think it's best for everyone if Clarence doesn't get in the Dutch World Cup squad. He just seems to cause trouble, and I'd actually like to see Holland do well.

Besides, if Clarence goes to South Africa he'll just spend all his time on humanitarian activities and hanging out with Nelson Mandela.

 

[crazy4milan]

Clarence should go to the WC as a pundit. What he did during last year's CL, talking with ESPN England (1st half) and ESPN Latinamerica (2nd half) have made him my favorite ever.

 

[Ashish]

pedro might tell me i'm talking bollocks, but i think it's best for everyone if clarence doesn't get in the dutch world cup squad. He just seems to cause trouble, and i'd actually like to see holland do well.

+1 :d

don't you worry, even Brama is more likely to go to the WC than Seedorf

well, well, well... Seedorf and Oranje... one strange long story itself...

I don't see why Seedorf should cause trouble there, but I don't care really

 

[Az.]

Plus his body will need a rest from football after a long Serie A season ,and there`s also the risk of him getting injured .

Im quite sure we will invest in the summer in new midfielders and he wont start anymore ,but he will still be a valuable asset to the squad .

Best thing to do like c4m said : pundit .

 

[GreatKalu]

I don't care what he goes as ... a player, pundit, coach, presidential delegate, entrepreneur, etc. Just let him be there, to commemorate football, love, peace, freedom, equality, justice, non-violence, reason, belief, dreams, ambition, hard work, success and life, in general

But if I were the Dutch coach, I'd find it hard to leave him out of the squad. I mean, have VDV and Sneijder been all that much better than him this season?

Seedorf the example for Milan to follow

As AC Milan bid to confirm their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League by beating Olympique de Marseille, Leonardo picked out evergreen Clarence Seedorf as the man most likely to lead their advance.

'Example to follow'
In a topsy-turvy season for the Rossoneri, Seedorf has been a model of consistency; a major reason why Leonardo is looking ahead to the rest of the competition with optimism. "He is a master at being the deciding factor, even after so many years he has such an inspiring desire," the coach said. "He is the example to follow." The 33-year-old was a key figure under Carlo Ancelotti, but many expected his role to be reduced following Leonardo's appointment in the summer.

'Confidence'
The erstwhile Netherlands international, however, is proving as indispensable as ever. Seedorf has been a mainstay in midfield while the tactics and personnel have changed around him. Leonardo started the season with two holding midfielders, but as his side struggled he switched to a more attacking formation. "I had a great relationship with Ancelotti, but I have to admit that changing coach was a great motivation for me," the former FC Internazionale Milano player said. "Leonardo gave us confidence even when we were going through hard times at the start of the season. We grew thanks to some good performances and I think he played a key role in that development."

Hunger
Having won the European Champion Clubs' Cup four times with three different teams, Seedorf could be forgiven for resting on his laurels, but he is hungry for more. "We want to qualify for the next stage of the competition, and we are so close to doing that, but more than qualifying for the last 16, what we really want is to win the UEFA Champions League. I think we have the right spirit, a positive attitude: we believe we can do it."

Commanding performance
Milan beat Marseille 2-1 on Matchday 1, but face a real challenge to repeat the feat at San Siro where they have not won in four UEFA Champions League games. Another commanding performance from Seedorf could again make the difference. As he stakes a late claim for a recall to the Netherlands FIFA World Cup squad, it would come as no surprise should he do so. "I don't care about that at the moment, I'm totally focused on what is happening here in Italy with my team," he said. "I'm doing everything I can for Milan. Then we just have to wait and see. What I can say for sure is I will do my best."

Self explanatory ... really.

[ReBorned]

Hahahahaha i've just listen to the Macedonian TV... The girlfriend of George Clooney, top model Elisabetta Canalis cheated him with player of AC Milan... who? Aaaaa.... yes he!
Clarence the mad dog Seedorf!!! You sneaky bastard!

 

[Ashish]

Respect

 

[Madridista]

One thing that Seedorf hasnt mastered is to shoot the damn ball LOW ON THE GROUND, instead of blasting it in the stands all the time.

 

[KujaIX]

i thought seedorf was a true gentleman, but getting george clooney's girlfriend to cheat on him. tut tut clarence, get your own girls.

 

[Sasha]

I would love a Seedorf-Canalis sex tape. My fetish to the max! (Black guy, white girl)
