Marco van Basten - football made him an invalid, but he remained a legend The summer of 1988. The European Championship in Germany. The Dutch national team loses in the first match against the strong Soviet team. To get out of the group, they must beat the English national team. The head coach of the “Oranjes”, Rinus Michels, has an ace up his sleeve. A 23-year-old striker who missed the spring preparation for the European Championship due to injury and did not play in the first match. Michels goes all out and brings in the young striker, who scores three goals against the English and becomes the best player and scorer of the tournament. His name is Marco van Basten. His goal in the final is still considered one of the best in the history of football. He risked his own health to become great. And his retirement at the age of 28 reflected all the pain he had endured during his career. #football #soccer
