Magic of Litmanen: Dutch clubs will soon be flooded with Finnish-named talents

Approximately two decades ago, one of the most famous European footballers, the Finnish Jari Litmanen, made an unexpected impression on Dutch football.

During his career, the forward played for the teams of Amsterdam "Ajax", "Barcelona", and "Liverpool", and hung up his boots after nearly five seasons with the HJK team.

The Finnish media received interesting data - Dutch and neighboring countries' football clubs will soon be flooded with local talents born during J. Litmanen's golden age and receiving the Scandinavian name Jari in honor of the striker.

With the "Ajax" team, now 45 years old, the celebrity has won five league titles, three cups, the Champions League, the European Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup.
