  • “I am 32-years-old and perhaps this would have been my last European Championship,” Seedorf told La Gazzetta dello Sport.



    “It was a dream to play for Holland, but I already had that dream taken away from me for the World Cup in Germany.



    “Therefore I couldn’t have done anything else other than pull out or I would have been going against my integrity.



    “Why did Van Basten have preconceptions about me that influenced the way he valued me as a player?



    “Once he said I was like a Hollywood star. I wish Holland all the best at Euro 2008, but it’s better than Van Basten takes players he trusts to Switzerland.”
