Seedorf wants the EC and the Olympics

October 5th, 2007 | By: Jan | 8 Comments »

Foppe de Haan announced that Clarence Seedorf has called him. “Seedorf called to say that he wants to go to the EC 2008 with Marco van Basten’s Oranje and he wants to come to the Olympics with my team as dispensation player. I will wait till May 2008 with announcing the selection and the dispensation players, but hey…it’s good to know.”

Seedorf must have thought: sitting on the bench for Oranje is that tiring, so I can easily play some games with the youngsters…

I think Milan forbid Dario Simic to play in the Olympics last time. I can see them doing that again.

Just read a comment from Marco van Basten: he was totally surprised about the Olympics phone-call Clarence had made to Foppe de Haan. A journalist asked San Marco about it and he was flabbergasted. He said that the deal between players and him is that players who play the EC cannot play for the Olympic team. He also said that he didn’t expect AC Milan to be happy with an important player playing two major tournaments in the off-season.

To be continued?

clarence is our best player (and ruud) - if he feels strong enough to go to 2 major tournaments he should be allowed to do so. it’s up to him. with his eventual participation the olympic games will have a totally different dimension.

clarence,clarence,clarence - he is my hero! (and leo,but this is a different story)

@goose: hehe,i have never watched football at the olympics (actually i’m not too much interested in olympics) so it will be a first to me too:-)

clarence should win this power struggle - his more diplomathic,he use more subtly the media than marco.
