Ruud Gullit was a player who had unusual physical conditions and great determination. He was born on September 1, 1962 in Amsterdam. At the age of five, he began playing in the juniors and during this part of his career he visited two clubs. However, at the age of 17, he began playing in the senior team - HFC Haarlem (the Netherlands), spending three years there. His adult career was extremely abundant, because he visited six clubs during his long 19-year career. These clubs were, among others, Feyenoord Rotterdam, PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan, UC Sampdoria, Chelsea FC. He was the longest guest in AC Milan in 1987-1993, where he was included in one of the best teams in the world in that period. He played alongside such stars as Marco Van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and the Italian legend Paolo Maldini. All
these aspects contributed to winning the European Cup in 1987 and
individually Gullit was awarded the best European football player. After a very successful period in Milan, Ruud moved to UC Sampdoria in 1993-1995. His arrival helped the club win the Italian Cup and win many other important matches. However, in 1994 he returned to Milan for a short period, after which he returned to Sampdoria again. At the end of his career he came to Chelsea London (1995-1998) as part of a free transfer. For old years, Gullit knew he couldn't go to a strong team because he wouldn't play. That's why he moved to Chelsea, which was playing medium at that time.Interestingly, Ruud played in every possible position on the pitch during his career. However, as a senior player, he was mainly a midfielder, gaining really many goals as his position (about 200 goals in career). He currently works as an assistant coach of the Netherlands representation.

He didn't 'visit' teams - he PLAYED for them. Also he wasn't a guest but a PLAYER. And the Netherlands have their NATIONAL TEAM not 'representation'.
OdpowiedzUsuńI'm a Chelsea fan, but I didn't know that Ruud played there for three years. In my opinion, impresive is that he could play in many positions during his career, it isn't common in football world.
