A retired Dutch footballer and former Manager of A.C. Milan, Clarence Seedorf is regarded by many as the best midfielder of his generation, and was chosen by Pelé as part of the ‘FIFA 100’. Having appeared in 87 matches for the Netherlands, he is one of the most decorated Dutch footballers of all time, and is the only player to have won the Champions League with three different clubs: Ajax, Real Madrid and A.C. Milan.

Incredibly intelligent man.
Almost as if we're surprised by it? May it be because he's a mere footballer/sportsman? I have listened to many an Oxford graduate who were not as impressive.
Two days ago he accepted Islam ❤️
How can he not be when he speaks 5 languages?
Totally - regarding his intelligence. He speaks like 1000 languages. Was a great footballer and I’ve always loved his humility.
@Serenity
How do you know that or are you just a keyboard warrior laced with a tonne of toxicity. But yes, Clarence is extremely intelligent.
Sitting on the table so he can see the audience clearly, wonderful gesture.
Suriname is proud of you Clarence!
One of the most decorated Dutch players ever.
Outside football, He has a master's degree in Business from Bocconi University in Milan. And speaks six languages fluently.
Incredible.
It is 7 languages
@@fromspace6774 even better
he came to end his carrer in Brazil because his wife is Brazilian and he played for Botafogo. He was frequent in Brazilian TV, speaking portuguese!... great guy!
instablaster.
Surinamese man🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
I always got the sense this guy was a class act and this proves it
WEPS 89 true that! I second
I’m only 4 mins into it and I’ve come to this conclusion
Extremely surprised by his demeanour..What a man..He just demands attention , really listen to every word he has to say...One of my favourite footballers ever but great human being
Clever, articulate and classy man. Of course, outstanding footballer
I'm an AC Milan fan for over 20 years and Clarence Seedorf was my absolutely favorite player during all this time. And his mind and the way he thinks was obviously projected in the style he was playing. Thank you for this great talk. I just want all of us to be aware how lucky we are: we have CZcams with tons of useful and interesting videos on it which are free precious food for our mind. Let's appreciate it, please. And Clarence stated it very well that if we have time for playing PS or stuff like that, it means we also have time to read a book or to have a CZcams lecture on arts, philosophy, electronics, ocean life etc. Please, use your time properly, know the value of it and remember - you're lucky. Thank you!
Lol when I typed "Seedorf interview", I had no idea he'd given an Oxford interview speaking like a true scholar and thinker. Wow
The Professor
One of my favourite footballers. Won the Champions League with three different clubs and could really dominate a midfield battle. Intelligent on and off the pitch. Legendary
Nice bloke. Not often professional footballers are genuine. May all your dreams come true Clarence
What a class act. As a supporter, I'm proud to have witnessed him wearing the shirt of AC Milan. Clarence ❤
Much respect for Clarence. Great player and great person as well.
Class act.. His whole soccer career as well as his life. Respect...
*Football.
One of my favourite footballers of all time. Guy was a genius.
I’m an Utd fan. I always admire Seedorf. Great player , even a greater man.
So Proud to also be Dutch - Seedorf is a legend - super intelligent on the ball and also in English !!
Milan legend!
This is such an underrated session. I can only say that the group did not fully utilize the opportunity. He is very composed, collected and extremely thoughtful with his answers.
One of the greatest!!
You betcha! What a great gentleman he is!
Clarence has always proven to be a champion on and off football pitch. we miss you leggenda. GO AC Milan
Forza Milan!
A Great Player & a humble man. quite like his suit too
Remember him being absolutely class on the park, but didn't know just how great he was, off the park too.
Great player and man, so humble
A God amongst men.
True.
A great man amongst many ordinary men would be a better and truer way to express it, even if less expressive and less eloquent.
Don't get carried away in over praising people. It won't take away from your admiration and it'll stay true statement for the duration of someone's character staying intact.
Wow wow wow wow , one of the greatest midfielders of all time is here as well? This is just brilliant, HE is just brilliant 👏👏
9:14 the Drive to achieve the objectives thanks you great leader Clarence
Loved this and will cherish these 48.27 minutes forever. Thanks Oxford Union for this opportunity. You are empowering us. 👍
Was suprising when he mentioned "taarabt and Morocco I personally had big expectations from adel he is much better adult now and more responsible and professional player " his awareness and understanding of life is remarkable it is part of his football life but nothing to do with the game .this guy is more that a legendary footballer this brother is AWAKENED SOUL
One of most successful Dutch football players, if not the most. 4 champions leagues, and won trophies with every european club he played with.
Legend... beast... Gentleman, a complete midfielder
I like his voice.
This needs 1 million views excellent talk. Thank-you!
" Do I empower people or do I work on fear "?
" Do I encourage people to be creative or do I kill the creativity because I wanna control everything?"
This guy is my inspiration.
And he was this thoughtfull at age 16, one of Hollands greatest players
He was already thoughtful in nursery school, where he took care of the other toddlers. There are some books written about Seedorf.
Amazingly talented Clarence what a beautiful mind and brain
Seedorf wij als Surinamers zijn trots op jou
Ik als Marokkaan ben ook trots op hem. een geweldig mens en voetballer. voor mij een van de beste voetballers aller tijden.
ZEKER WETEN JIJ BENT ONGETWIJFELT EEN VOORBEELD VOOR ONS SURINAMERS,EN OOK VOOR ANDEREN,..BIG UP BRO !!!!!!!!!!
Great leader and an even greater human being.
Glad I saw him when he was young and came to the head team. Still have one photo, begin of his career, very happy with that.
Great example for everyone and enjoyed to see him on the pitch 👌pure masterclass On and Off the pitch. Proud to be Ajax fan ❤️💯
The most underrated player in all of Dutch history. From the moment he left to Italy, he couldn't do anything good.
Fully confident he left The Netherlands, said he couldn't learn anymore, here. In his case he was right.
It's sad that this gentleman, and first class player never was to flourish in the national team. He had opinion against him, people just branded him a "smart ass". We have a tradition of missing penalties, yet Seedorf's seems to be named first, always.
If anyone is allowed to judge players, and people, it's Clarence Seedorf.
A great mind and great athlete too!
Respect respect and respect for you Sir Clarence Seedorf!
Yes he WAS a great player (eventhough from the wrong team) but much more important he IS a great man.
Real class, amazing person.
Hi! I have a suggestion. It could imply some effort, but in the description of the video (just above the video) would be amazing to see each question with their time/link.
Thanks for this channel, it is amazing!
He is a public speaker like he was a player: Classy.
Known in Bra(s!)il as the one who plays with a tuxedo on. Such an elegant intellectual.
what a legend. more of this
Great player and Legend, Only thing I don't like is his Milan team beating us LFC in UCL final 2007. But top draw career and he deserved his success.
What about LFC beating us in 2005? That is more tragic for us, than that one in 2007 for sure!
Seedorf is like Scholes: One of the greatest central midfielders of all time, who was rated highest by his peers.
A class act, and a world class player throughout his career.
Scholes is an excellent player...but clearly inferior to Steven Gerrard....in terms of individual achievements...scholes is nowhere near Lampard let alone Gerrard......
@Mark Owusu ok Gerrard was included in the champions league XI of the 21st century(only English player to do so)...has the record for most premier league XI appearances with 8.....has a ballon d'or top 3 finish....2 time English player of the year...has far more England caps then scholes..do you have some facts...or is it just hoopla
I think that view you have expressed is probably one of the reasons why the Engliah team did not win trophies during that time. Scholes was more respected and appreciated from outside the Premiership. Most non-English players from around Europe and outside Europe, who played with and against Scholes hold him in higher regard.
I pray God give u the strength too continue ur goodness in life
The bass in his voice actually damaged the ancient manuscripts around him.
Wise and intelligent
Thnx Seedorf
Pure class.
Well spoken Seedorf
seedorf has more to him than his football identity but it is interesting to see how dominate he can be in the world of football it is almost it only little world which is isolated from society rules. His playing style was purely based on footballing vision it doesn't matter how fast you can run but how quickly you can think and move the ball around.
A class act
Respect
Class act.
Example of the human being, never change his behaviour he is good to all even in real life.
A really wise man!
What a class act
dignified
Legend
Very intelligent.
Grande Clarence!
Seedorf respect bro!!
This is the professor of football .
Bruh he is all around even outside the pitch
Underrated comment
According to Ruud van Nistelrooy Clarence Seedorf is the stronges human being on earth.
World class player world class human 👏👏👏👏

FORZA CLARENCE!
Dutch players are very intelligent and nice on the interview.

12:57 "You've got so many leaders in one space and AH AH AH AH"
True king on Ucl. You Cant change my mind
I would hope that he is given the opportunity to be the Dutch National team manager! Especially after the display at Euro 2021...
pround of my milan legend
Rockefeller?
That is a very funny joke at 17:50 !
Why doesn't the host even introduce him?
schoenbaard because literally everyone knows who the fuck he is
schoenbaard the video starts with audience audio clapping so clearly the introduction was edited out😑
I hope Seedorf coaches in the MLS.
Is it only me or does anyone else think that 90's & 2000's had a better set of midfielders across the leagues than now ??
Still salty about that champions league loss I see Clarence 😂
I love these videos 👌
I do remember him and cafu schooled Cr7
Rood Van Nistelrooy too
true pan african
What's up with the awkward perching on the desk?
How is it awkward? Stop being preposterous
Did you watch the video? He explains that he wants to see the audience better
@@peterlowery8412 He needs to rewatch it... Just find his comment petulant
The Professor
Coach made a blunder that day of replacing Crespo instead of Shevschenko
Form is temporary. Class is permanent.
Hi Clarence, I'm interested in communication. I studied communication
🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
His speech his education his IQ is propably higher than all of this guys there.
He's been like this since he was a teenager. Mister know it all.
Toch ongelofelijk om te zien idd. Zat net nog ff een oude te kijken met Wilfred Genee 😭🤣, geen spat veranderd. Prachtige voetballer, prachtig mens 👍
What a brain.
