🚨🗣️ Ruud Gullit on why AC Milan had one of the greatest defences line in football history:
"We worked relentlessly on our physical condition and tactics. Everything was built on discipline, positioning and teamwork."
"In training, we'd play with just a goalkeeper, four defenders and two midfielders against eleven attacking players."
"I played as a right winger against Paolo Maldini every day. I couldn't score. It was impossible."
"Even Marco van Basten couldn't score. Maybe you had a chance from long range, but breaking through that defence? Impossible."
"Imagine it just four defenders against eleven attackers, and nobody could penetrate. That back four of Mauro Tassotti, Alessandro Costacurta, Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini was unbelievable."
"Their movement was perfect. They defended as one unit, like a machine. Every step was synchronized."
"If you couldn't beat them and had to pass backwards, they immediately stepped forward together. They controlled every inch of the pitch."
"Everything they did was perfectly coordinated. Playing against them felt like trying to beat a machine."

Nous sommes le 3 juillet. Il y a 64 ans, l’Algérie devenait officiellement indépendante. Une date volontairement chargée de symboles, avant que sa célébration ne soit fixée au 5 juillet, choix voulu par Ahmed Ben Bella pour faire du 5 juillet 1962 la réponse historique au 5 juillet 1830, date de la prise d’Alger par l’armée coloniale française.
En ce jour, rendons hommage à toutes celles et tous ceux qui se sont battus, souvent au prix de leur vie, pour une Algérie libre, souveraine et indépendante. Gloire à nos chouhada et à tous les artisans de notre liberté. 🇩🇿
Une défaite contre l'Argentine, on l'aurait tous accepté.
Mais pas comme ça, déjà à la CAN j'ai pas compris pourquoi beaucoup ont accepté le cirque face au Nigeria.
Même contre la RdC qui était faiblarde tu fais un vieux match mais tu prolonges Petkovic.
