00:00
Frenk Rijkaard.
00:01
Marco van Basten.
00:02
Ruud Gullit.
00:03
Dutch people.
00:04
Magnificent Dutch people.
00:08
I'm happy when I have these two friends close to me.
00:12
It's incredible that we could have this adventure together.
00:18
I thought it was between us.
00:20
Do you have some time?
00:21
No.
00:29
Favourite nickname?
00:31
Favourite?
00:33
Difficult one.
00:35
I don't know.
00:36
Frenkie.
00:38
Marco Lino.
00:40
Gulliman.
00:42
The player you were inspired by when you were young?
00:45
Mario Kempis.
00:49
Johan Cruyff.
00:51
Johan Cruyff.
00:52
Your first day in Milan?
00:56
A great memory.
00:57
It was a lot of fun.
01:00
Beautiful pitches.
01:02
Great pitch.
01:04
Great history.
01:05
And we ate a lot.
01:09
Yes, we ate a lot.
01:11
You can feel the atmosphere.
01:15
You feel like you're here to win something.
01:20
Your best game for Milan?
01:22
I think it was against Steyrau in Bucharest.
01:27
It was a final.
01:30
We completely dominated the opponent.
01:34
For me, it's the same.
01:35
The final in Barcelona.
01:37
Yes, I agree.
01:39
Your first goal?
01:41
I think it was in the final against Benfica in the Champions League.
01:47
Mine?
01:49
Are there many?
01:51
I don't know exactly, but in the same final we scored two goals.
01:57
Those goals were very special.
02:01
I think it was the first goal I scored against Pisa in Milan.
02:05
What was missing in your football bag?
02:10
I wasn't superstitious.
02:12
I wasn't very interested in my shoes.
02:17
Without shoes, it was a bit difficult.
02:19
You can't do anything.
02:20
The exercise you hated the most during training?
02:23
The long run with Pincolini.
02:28
The warm-up.
02:30
Everything without the ball.
02:32
The warm-up.
02:33
I remember I always said that the first part is to survive.
02:38
Then we start with the ball and we start doing the real training.
02:43
I hated everything that Pincolini did.
02:48
I didn't want to run without the ball.
02:50
There were many who said,
02:52
you can only touch the ball once.
02:55
That wasn't very funny.
02:58
Always a touch.
02:59
On the other hand, it was very interesting
03:03
because you learned to see even faster.
03:07
I hated the cage.
03:09
You're right.
03:10
Yes, the cage.
03:12
The cage is also particular.
03:14
Yes, the cage.
03:15
Rugby, I liked it.
03:17
We liked it.
03:19
Your best quality on the pitch?
03:23
Being on the pitch.
03:25
I hope so.
03:27
At least I hope so.
03:29
As a player, I always tried to help my teammates.
03:35
When I did this, it was also a good thing for me.
03:42
I think the desire not to lose,
03:46
the desire to win,
03:49
it's all you need to do this.
03:52
For me, it was always a joy on the pitch.
03:56
I had to have fun.
03:58
When I didn't have fun, it was difficult for me.
04:02
Of course, you have more fun when you win.
04:06
You should do everything you have to win the game.
04:11
Your worst flaw on the pitch?
04:14
When the game was too easy,
04:19
we won easily,
04:22
every now and then I fell asleep.
04:27
You lost concentration.
04:30
Yes, I lost concentration.
04:32
Concentration, yes.
04:34
I've never seen it.
04:36
It's like that.
04:38
Yes?
04:39
Too little concentration.
04:41
Concentration was also important for me.
04:44
There was always a difficult game.
04:51
But when things got easier,
04:55
it wasn't so difficult.
04:58
Not so much.
05:00
Not so much, no.
05:02
The most difficult thing is that there are so many games.
05:06
Sometimes there are games
05:08
that you think you can do a little less.
05:11
Because there's the Champions League.
05:14
When you have to play on Sunday before,
05:17
you're a little less focused every now and then.
05:20
The music you preferred to get into the mood of the game?
05:24
It depends on the era.
05:27
We played here in the 90s.
05:30
So I listened to all the music from that era.
05:36
I didn't listen to a lot of music.
05:41
Yes, I loved reggae music.
05:45
But it was popular at the time,
05:48
not for the people in general, but for me.
05:52
In our time, we didn't have...
05:55
What's it called?
05:56
Coffee.
05:57
Yes, we didn't have it.
05:58
No, not in our time.
06:00
There was always music from Milanello.
06:05
And when we passed the first traffic light,
06:10
the music stopped.
06:13
Do you remember a Coro della Curva?
06:15
A Coro?
06:17
Yes, the anthem.
06:19
Milan's anthem was always with us.
06:22
It wasn't a Coro, but...
06:26
There was something with Marco...
06:31
Salti per noi.
06:33
Vinci per noi.
06:35
Salti per noi.
06:36
Vinci per noi.
06:37
There was a type of song.
06:40
Even if you want to sing...
06:45
At the beginning, we didn't understand Italian very well.
06:49
We thought...
06:52
Who is Hugo Lasagna?
06:55
Hugo Lasagna.
06:56
But it was all over the stadium.
07:05
Hugo Lasagna.
07:07
Hugo Lasagna must be a phenomenon.
07:10
He was in every stadium.
07:13
Who is Hugo Lasagna?
07:15
It was all over the stadium.
07:20
Your favourite Italian word?
07:22
Uh...
07:24
We know.
07:25
Pass, pass.
07:26
We know.
07:27
You start.
07:28
The first word was...
07:31
Enough.
07:32
Enough.
07:33
It's a nice word.
07:34
Enough.
07:35
It was the first thing I said.
07:37
Everything was enough.
07:39
Enough good, enough good, enough strong.
07:42
Enough.
07:43
Who was the most punctual?
07:45
I think Marco.
07:46
I think so.
07:47
He must be punctual.
07:50
Because when I crossed the ball,
07:52
even if he wasn't there,
07:53
I couldn't score.
07:55
But all three of us were...
07:57
Punctual enough.
07:59
Punctual enough.
08:00
Yes.
08:01
Who was the most competitive?
08:03
Who was it?
08:04
Marco.
08:05
Marco.
08:06
I don't know.
08:08
Who was the strongest?
08:10
Ruth.
08:11
No.
08:12
No.
08:13
All three of us.
08:14
All three of us, yes.
08:16
I think all three of us had a different talent.
08:21
Together, together.
08:23
But together it was complete.
08:25
Dutch.
08:29
Magnificent, Dutch.
08:31
One word or sentence to describe Arrigo Sacchi?
08:36
The master of the orchestra.
08:39
How nice.
08:42
Very nice.
08:43
Arrigo Sacchi wanted me
08:45
and thanks to him
08:47
I came to Milan
08:49
and also with the help
08:51
of my Dutch colleagues.
08:56
Great coach.
08:58
I think he's a fanatic.
09:00
That too.
09:02
One word or sentence to describe Fabio Capello?
09:07
Very intelligent
09:10
to put the right team
09:12
with the right players.
09:14
Very intelligent
09:16
to understand the game.
09:19
A winner.
09:21
Yes.
09:22
Winner.
09:24
A big winner.
09:26
He was always big.
09:28
But when he laughed
09:30
it was something very special.
09:32
You didn't have him as a coach
09:34
but as a teammate.
09:35
One word or sentence to describe Carlo Ancelotti?
09:38
Yes, a master.
09:40
Him too.
09:42
I remember at the beginning
09:44
he taught me a bit
09:46
how to move
09:48
in Milan's tactics
09:50
in midfield.
09:52
He was always an example.
09:55
A great friend.
09:57
For me he's a great person.
09:59
I like him as a person.
10:01
Your favourite uncle.
10:05
I close with Silvio Berlusconi.
10:07
Yes, there's only one president.
10:09
That's the sentence
10:13
we always knew
10:15
when he was there.
10:17
He was our president
10:19
of our time.
10:21
For me he's number one.
10:24
Yes.
10:25
I agree.
10:27
I think he's the best
10:29
I've had.
10:31
He inspired the team.
10:33
He was always there.
10:35
Always close to the team.
10:37
He set a good example
10:39
of how to win
10:41
and how to behave.
10:44
He was a philosopher
10:46
in the way
10:48
we had to play.
10:50
Not only on the pitch
10:52
but also off it.
10:54
The opponent that impressed you
10:56
the most in your time at Milan?
10:58
It has to be Maradona.
11:00
For me personally
11:02
it was Vjerkovic.
11:05
He was a great player.
11:09
But he was also nice.
11:11
Yes, he was very nice.
11:13
For me it was Maradona
11:15
but also Inter.
11:17
I always liked the derby.
11:19
Against a team
11:21
that was very strong.
11:23
Your favourite Italian food?
11:26
Spaghetti and tomato.
11:28
Do you have some time?
11:30
I still eat
11:32
every day
11:34
at home with my wife
11:36
because she knows
11:38
how to cook Italian food.
11:40
For me it's Bucatini all'amatriciana.
11:42
Favourite place in Milan?
11:44
Piazza di Uomo.
11:46
San Siro.
11:48
We're in the city of fashion
11:50
so who was the most careful
11:52
about his look?
11:54
I think it's Marco.
11:58
He always dresses the same.
12:04
He was Frank
12:06
without a doubt.
12:08
For me it's Lentini.
12:10
Lentini was more...
12:16
When we arrived
12:18
we were
12:20
the worst
12:22
people to dress.
12:26
But after a year
12:28
you learn a bit.
12:30
Who was
12:32
more extravagant
12:34
was Lentini.
12:36
Marco still dresses like an Italian.
12:42
What job would you like to do
12:44
if you weren't a footballer?
12:46
Psychologist.
12:48
Gymnastics teacher.
12:50
I don't know.
12:52
Something on TV.
12:54
What's your favourite
12:56
activity outside of football?
12:59
Golf.
13:01
What's the relationship
13:03
between you two today?
13:05
I'm always
13:07
happy when
13:09
I have these two friends
13:11
close to me.
13:13
We still see each other
13:15
we eat together
13:17
we play a bit of golf
13:19
we talk about a lot of other things.
13:21
We all live in Amsterdam.
13:23
We talk about everything, even Milan.
13:25
We're in another phase of our lives.
13:27
I'm just
13:29
sometimes
13:31
in moments like this
13:33
I'm very proud
13:35
that we had
13:37
the chance to play together
13:39
for so many years.
13:41
I'm also lucky
13:43
to have won so many things
13:45
because Frank
13:47
and I knew each other
13:49
when we were 12 years old.
13:51
It's incredible
13:53
that we could have this adventure
13:55
with Marco
13:57
I've known him since I was 17
13:59
when I was 17
14:01
I never thought
14:03
I'd be here
14:05
talking about a time
14:07
with so many trophies
14:09
I'm so lucky.
14:11
I'm very grateful
14:13
to have
14:15
been part
14:17
of a
14:19
great team
14:21
we were strong
14:24
I'm proud
14:26
to have been part
14:28
of this team.
14:30
I think it's also
14:32
the response of the fans
14:34
after so many years
14:36
that they say it was a football
14:38
that everyone liked.
14:40
This is the best compliment.
14:42
It's great to be here
14:44
especially
14:46
because Milan
14:48
is celebrating
14:50
125 years
14:52
of existence
14:54
so
14:56
it makes us happy
14:58
to be here
15:00
in this special moment.
15:02
Forza Milan!

15:48
and you?
15:50

15:52
Say hi

15:56
