The Dutch legend claimed that Barcelona of the last four years is the best club team he has seen as he believes it is head over shoulders of the AC Milan side he was a part of.
With Pep Guardiola’s team added silverware galore to the Camp Nou trophy cabinet in the last four years, they have been labelled as the best club team ever while also earning comparisons with Arrigo Sacchi’s AC Milan that were the last side to win two back
to back European titles.
Marco Van Basten came out in the open to talk about the matter, hailing La Blaugrana for the tremendous work they have achieved, while admitting that they are better than the side that held the title before them.
Explaining his statements, the legendary Dutch striker remarked that comparing the achievements of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 with others in the same category makes them stand head over shoulders.
Furthermore, he added that the team dynamics of the Catalan team are stronger than their predecessors. Van Basten claimed that while others before them had players playing for personal glory, the Camp Nou based outfit boasts off professionals working for
the team.
The 47-year-old supported his argument by pointing towards the likes of Ruud Gullit, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, while also taking out time to criticise Gerard Pique for his extravagant social life.
"It's very simple," he said while talking to L'Equipe. "Barca are the best team in history. Simply pick the best teams in history and compare their results. Not even we achieved those results.”
"Their strength is that they are professionals. They live for football, that's what motivates them, not celebrity status.”
"[Ruud Gullit] was a super player, but also a star. Xavi is a super player, but along with that, he likes being with his family. [Lionel] Messi and [Andres] Iniesta are the same too.”
"Perhaps the only one who likes being the centre of attention is [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as a footballer.”
"This is the key to staying at the highest level for all those years."
