Michael John Reiziger ((:ˈmɑi̯kəl ˈd͡ʒɔn ˈrɛi̯zəɣər), born 3 May 1973) is a retired Dutch footballer who played mainly as a right back. After making a name for himself at Ajax, with whom he won one Champions League, he went on to represent four teams in four different countries, most notably Barcelona for which he played in 249 official games in seven years. Reiziger played one full decade with the Dutch national team, representing the nation in three European Championships and the 1998 World Cup, finishing fourth in the latter tournament. ==Club career== Born in Amstelveen, North Holland, Reiziger started his career with hometown's AFC Ajax, making his first-team debuts at the age of 17 then serving two consecutive loan spells, with FC Volendam and FC Groningen: with the latter, in the 1993–94 season, he scored a career-best six goals, while operating also as a midfielder. Upon his return to Ajax, Reiziger established himself as a renowned defensive element, helping the club to, among other conquests, the 1994–95 Champions League. In 1996 he signed for A.C. Milan, but after an injury-hit season, he departed for FC Barcelona, where he spent the following seven years, arriving at the same time as countrymen and former Ajax boss Louis van Gaal: almost never an undisputed starter, he did manage to feature heavily for the Catalans, amassing more than 200 overall appearances and helping the club to back-to-back La Liga titles. In 2004, Reiziger moved to Middlesbrough on a Bosman transfer. He scored once in the league for ''Boro'', against Aston Villa in December 2004. However, after another campaign dealing with several injuries, he left and returned to the Netherlands, playing his final two years at PSV Eindhoven (in his second, he won the league, and was also reunited with Ajax, ''Barça'' and national team mate Patrick Kluivert, although the two rarely ever played).〔(PSV release Kluivert and Reiziger ); UEFA.com, 11 May 2007〕 After retiring, Reiziger settled in Barcelona. He later went on to coach Sparta Rotterdam at youth level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Reiziger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
