The Forgotten Midfielder Who Was So Good At Everything, Nobody Believed He Was Real

Clarence Seedorf is the only footballer in history to win the champions league with 3 different clubs.
While there have been many great jack of all trades throughout football - Clarence Seedorf was not just great at doing everything on the pitch - he was absolutely world class.
To me, he was truly one of the most complete midfielders in history - but at the same time, he really is underrated. He should be up there in discussions of the greatest midfielders the game has ever seen, and I'm here today to convince you why he deserves it.

Seedorf crying after winning the CL with Milan making him the first n I think still only player to win CL with 3 different teams will always be my biggest Seedorf highlight. It was literally like seeing someone get a lifetime achievement award when they were still young and in real-time. It was like it was surreal to even him.

yup. only 1 player in history to do it. just shows how important he was and how underrated he is. deserves to be talked more in top midfielders OAT conversations

[@frankdehaan9640]

I'm from The Netherlands, Seedorf has a bad image here.. it's sad. He missed a penalty in the WC i think, and never played at the level he did at his clubs for the national team,. Mostly because we had so much midfield talent, they posted him on the left, like you mentioned in the video they did at Real, to fit in more 'attractive' players. When Seedorf talks, he sounds smart (he is) and he knows what he wants, this is perceived to be 'arrogant' in my country which is a big no no here. He never got the love from The Netherlands he clearly deserves. I had wished for him to have some more luck in his international career, and he would be loved like everybody loves Giullit. This man deserves a statue in Milan tbh. One of the biggest legends of the game, period.

[@RaymarFootball]

very interesting points my man. Yup, Seedorf fits so well anywhere that many of his managers didnt put him where he should really be

[@weihuatang171]

@@RaymarFootball If he were good enough other players would make room for him not the oppsite. So the reason is simple: he is not good enough. Can you image sacrificing Zidane to fit in other player? Maybe only for Maradona, the most powerful player in the world.

[@RaymarFootball]

@@weihuatang171 they dont really play the same role though 😂 and not good enough? He played for top clubs his whole career and was always a starter and had the most appearances for the club

[@pritapp788]

He deserves a statute at Ajax as well. As for his lack of success with the Netherlands: during Seedorf's career peak the Dutch had loads of cr@p, outdated coaches like Hiddink and Advocaat who couldn't get the best out of him and preferred to rely on hard working midfielders like Cocu and van Bommel... Cocu and van Bommel over Seedorf, for Christ's sake!! Van Basten meanwhile didn't even pick him in 2006 and 2008 when he was at his peak. Once he was removed from the toxic Dutch NT environment and given the chance to work with clever coaches like Capello, Heynckes and Ancelotti, Seedorf shone like a diamond.

As a Milan fan, Clarence Seedorf was part of my childhood and I was astonished every time I saw him playing. He was just not a fantastic player but also a great man, always humble and ready to help his teammates. His pure class was a pleasure to see every time he played. With Pirlo and Gattuso came out a perfect chemistry for midfield. And don't forget this man won 4 Champions League with 3 different teams (Ajax, Real Madrid, and Milan). I really miss this type of players, he is always in our hearts.

One of the greatest midfielders of all time. The best out of that excellent mid-90s generation of Dutch footballers (Bergkamp, Kluivert, Davids, De Boer, Van der Sar, Staam, Cocu, etc), though arguments can surely and properly be made in favor of others. I wouldn't call him underrated, though. He's considered one of the GOATs where I'm from, and probably throughout Latam, Spain and Italy, as well. Maybe it's an English-language media thing--having never played in the PL nor really stood-out during Euros or in the WC--or maybe it's a generational thing, who knows.
