His time was before I started getting into soccer, so I only heard his name when people were talking about great players of the past, especially la liga announcers or whatnot.

Thank you. You know I have a huge softspot for Neeskens for many reasons, but I think at the end of the day (at least for a national team) it is the players that make the system more often than not. I think for clubs it is significantly different. In a national team you can't just go out and buy a player that fits your system. And since Holland does not have a Neeskens anymore (and probably don't need him either as we don't have a JC type that needs to be looked after), the system will have to be fitted to what material you have at your disposal. @Carlos and Tiju: I had no clue about Pep Gardiola. But then again I had no clue about Jose Mourinho for a long time either. Great piece yet again Jan. Thank you.

Agree on Bryan Robson/Neeskens, not only similar as players but as coaches very similar. For Country they reached semifinals in Euros - Both got relegated and fired by Premier/Ere Divisions and are considered only good as 2IC I believe. Same old story - Great Players dont necessarily make great coaches. Apart from Ferenc and Jan, I wonder how many other bloggers here had heard of Pep Guardiola before he took over at Barca.
