22 OCT Fenerbahce - Ajax Europa League Group Play

[Orange14]

Well.. in the 1980's the situation of the Dutch football did look even much worse.

But look at the pool of talent that emerged by the late 80s! Rijkaard, Koeman, van Basten, Gullit, Wouters, van't Schip and these guys won Euro 1988. I don't think there is a comparable group of players in the country right now.

In the early 80's / middle 80's there were some Dutch football trainers that said:

"With guys like Rijkaard in your team, you will never win a war".
