Like most people born pre-1970, Gullit has taken a while to get his head around the idea of professional esports players. "When we announced Team Gullit we had 3,200 players want to join us," he said. "And it's not all about play, play, play," Gullit stresses. Team Gullit co-founder Corne Dubelaar says the aim of the team is to provide a professional approach to gaming. Many soccer clubs, including Manchester City, Paris St Germain, Roma and Schalke already have esports teams and in the Netherlands interest is surging.
