Ten Greatest Soccer (Football) Nations in the World – # 8

on to number eight despite being a small
country the Dutch have produced an
enormous amount of great footballers
throughout the years Johan Cruyff Johnny
Reb Ronald Koeman ruud gullit Marco van
Basten Frank Rijkaard the list goes on
and on in addition to producing great
players they produce fantastic coaches
who’s hitting kawada ounce ronald koeman
again Marco van Basten as a coach Johan
Cruyff and of course one can never
forget the late great rinus michels the
architect of the total football scheme
that’s what really puts Holland on the
map the fact that they have
revolutionised a tactical game Holland’s
Total Football scheme required every
player to play every position at the
same time so that means if Johan Cruyff
was playing striker and he’d come back
to the fan he’s expected to play as a
defender in his room every player can
interchange positions with ease much
like the way the Brazilians can move the
ball with these the dutch won the
eurocup in 1988 they finished runner-up
in the world cup in 1974 and 1978 was
especially intriguing about their 1978
runner-up position at the World Cup is
that their star player Johan Cruyff did
not play one can only speculate what the
Dutch would achieve a do enjoy have
played in 1970
