Van Basten leads tributes to Michels
Holland coach Marco van Basten today led the tributes to Rinus Michels, the man who pioneered "total football", who has died at the age of 77.
Playing under Michels, van Basten’s spectacular volley completed Holland’s 2-0 win over the Soviet Union in the 1988 European Championships final, the only trophy ever won by the Oranje.
