Marco van Basten is unquestionably one of the greatest Dutch players in history. Between 1981 and 1995, he played professionally. But it’s crucial to note that van Basten, who was only 28 at the time, played in his final official match in the 1993 European Cup final. He was, unfortunately, unable to participate in other formal contests due to a string of injuries.

A Player Devoted to 2 Clubs

One of the best football academies in the world is most likely found in Ajax. Marco van Basten was also a member of that team, as was to be expected. For the Dutch juggernauts, he made his professional debut in 1981. He participated in that team’s games up until 1987 when he was moved to AC Milan.

Only these two teams did van Basten play professionally for. He did, however, also have a fantastic international career. From 1983 until 1992, he was a member of the senior Dutch national team. He played in 58 games throughout that time, scoring 24 goals in all. 

Best Footballer

The stats that Marco van Basten has are astounding. In proportion to the overall amount of professional games he played, he scored a lot of goals. For instance, he was able to win the Ballon d’Or three times, thanks to this. He also played a significant role in Ajax, and Milan’s various championship runs.

Van Basten’s development as a football player was characterized by several factors, including:

Outstanding ball control, superb positioning awareness, unstoppable headers, and also very strong shoots.

Van Basten was a nightmare for the opposition’s players because of this. As previously said, van Basten didn’t begin playing professionally until he was 28 years old. One of his ankles has been giving him a lot of pain from the beginning of his professional career. He was never fully able to recuperate from this persistent injury.
