Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit is appointed the head coach of the Netherlands national football team in august 2001. Holland will use a 4-3-3 tactic similar to that one used by Ajax (Wim Kieft) and FC Barcelona (Marco van Basten).

It's time to bring some glory and fame to Holland. |

The Dutch total football totally destroys Germany. Holland takes a 3-0 victory against the rivals after goals from Barcelona stars Patrick Kluivert and Phillip Cocu; and Ajax's 18 year old wonderkid Rafael van der Vaart. The match also saw the international debut for Heerenveen's centre back Tieme Klompe.
Holland - Germany 3-0 1-0 Patrick Kluivert (penalty) 2-0 Phillip Cocu 3-0 Rafael van der Vaart

I honestly don't seem to know Tieme Klompe. 3-0 is a great win, even though I think your squad is better than Germany.

Tieme Klompe is a super defender in CM01/02. A potential he didn't reach in real life. He gets real expensive, real quickly so I never entered the bidding for him. I'm surprised that he ended up in Galatasaray instead of Germany, England or Italy.

Yeah, those stats are actually crazy. I'm curious: in game, in which season are you? (as Klompe is already in Galatasaray in the screenshot, but he was in Heerenveen in his debut vs. Germany)

Price was a bit too high for Ajax (and the defence have several top prospects. Better to save the money for Willem II Tilburg's Denny Landzaat. Could see him as a natural replacement for veterans Aron Winter and Richard Witschge. |
