Seedorf's glorious

Do not worry the Rossoneri fan: Seedorf has signed for Juventus. The Dutchman has not taken the same path a year ago to take another former genius of Milan as Pirlo, but the new location is more exotic: the Brazilian Botafogo, where he demonstrated during the next two seasons as the class is imperishable. At 36 years, and presented as the most important signing in the history of Brazilian football, Seedorf is already a glorious name that is known to the players club of Rio de Janeiro.

Theirs was not introduced any: and on his arrival at the airport was received and acclaimed by 1500 voices with honors receiving his new idol. Then it would be airlifted to do Engenhao Stadium, where thousands of fans were waiting for his new club at a rally in the myths that were present Carioca soccer as Mario Lobo Zagallo or Jairzinho, former players of the club. Or more than that. There enfundaría and his new shirt that had printed on the back that adorns the stars number ten.

His move to Botafogo no coincidence: Seedorf is married to a Brazilian and has an apartment in the neighborhood of Leblon, in Rio de Janeiro, in recent years. Before accepting the offer of his new club, Seedorf has been training with Los Angeles Galaxy, where he plays his friend and former teammate at Milan, David Beckham, and had a large range of American and other club in Europe and the classic this summer of the emerging China Super League. However, to the delight of the Brazilian bent, Seedorf will carry the bloom of the Lone Estrela.

There are only Kanu, Litmanen and him. In that magnificent generation that broke in the mid-nineties in Ajax Van Gaal's hand and lifted the Champions League, only Nigeria (Portsmouth), Finnish (no team) and Seedorf are still active. But Clarence only has continued to the highest level, as it did a year ago the meta Van der Sar.

After adapting to the big leagues for a year at Sampdoria, forming a superb midfield with round and return to Madrid European glory, go through the Inter with good performance but without titles and sign for the Rossoneri rivals, where he was Rui Costa with first and then Kaka, Pirlo and Gattuso a midfield to remember who won two Champions Leagues, the Panther has decided to move away from the demands of European football, but Brazil will try to return the glory to Botafogo, seventh in the last championship and not win the Brasileirao since 1995.

I have no doubt that Seedorf, the only player to have won the Champions League with three different teams, might have remained important in Milan, where as a hook or lying on the left would have continued teaching class with the Rossoneri bloom, with which last year was a fixture in the Champions League (seven games as a starter) and went home 15 times in calcium and four from the bank. Not as an indisputable, but if something Seedorf has shown in recent times is that it was still an important piece and one of the football team differentials in northern Italy.

However, the transition times Milan lives in the template and, besides the Dutch, other symbols as Nesta, Inzaghi and Gattuso also leave the club this year . So, the reconquest of the Scudetto last year after the Nerazzurri domain will have been the last great success of Clarence in a decade unforgettable as AC Milan. Now begins a new stage as glorious, but do not think anyone can doubt whatsoever that it already was before joining the Brazilian club.
