I was born shortly after the war, though, and was taught not to just accept anything.—Cruyff said in a documentary on TV3 channel (2015).Hendrik Johannes 'Johan' Cruijff was born on 25 April 1947 in, on a street five minutes away from 's stadium, his first football club. Johan was the second son of Hermanus Cornelis Cruijff and Petronella Bernarda Draaijer, from a humble, working-class background in east Amsterdam.

His father's death had a major impact on his mentality. As Cruyff recalled, in celebration of his 50th birthday, 'My father died when I was just 12 and he was 45. From that day the feeling crept stronger over me that I would die at the same age and, when I had serious heart problems when I reached 45, I thought: 'This is it.'

His mother began working at Ajax as a cleaner, deciding that she could no longer carry on at the grocer without her husband, and in the future, this made Cruyff near-obsessed with financial security but also gave him an appreciation for player aids.

Cruyff in the box during the, just before he was fouled for a penaltyIn an interview published in the 50th anniversary issue of magazine, the captain of the Brazilian team that won the, went on to say, 'The only team I've seen that did things differently was Holland at the 1974 World Cup in Germany. Since then everything looks more or less the same to me.
Their 'carousel' style of play was amazing to watch and marvellous for the game.' With regards to role models, Brazilian football manager and former player has mentioned in one interview that he had no idols, though, 'My greatest satisfaction would be to manage a team such as 1974 Holland. It was a team where you could pick Johan Cruyff and place him on the right wing. If I had to put him in the left-wing, he would still play the same. I could choose Neeskens, who played both to the right and to the left of the midfield.
Thus, everyone played in any position.' After 1974 Cruyff retired from international football in October 1977, having helped the national team qualify for the upcoming World Cup. Without him, the Netherlands finished runners-up in the World Cup again. Initially, the reason given for missing the were political reasons given in Argentina at that time. In 2008, Cruyff stated to the journalist Antoni Bassas in that he and his family were subject to a kidnap attempt in Barcelona a year before the tournament, and that this had caused his retirement.
'To play a World Cup you have to be 200% okay, there are moments when there are other values in life.' Coaching career Entry into management with Ajax. Cruyff as manager of Ajax in 1987After retiring from playing, Cruyff followed in the footsteps of his mentor, coaching a young Ajax side to victory in the in (1–0). In May and June 1985, Cruyff returned to Ajax again. In the, the league title was lost to 's PSV, despite Ajax having a goal difference of +85 (120 goals for, 35 goals against). In the 1985–86 and seasons, Ajax won the KNVB Cup.It was during this period as manager that Cruyff was able to implement his favoured team formation—three mobile; plus one more covering space – becoming, in effect, a (from, ), two 'controlling' midfielders (from Rijkaard, ) with responsibilities to feed the attack-minded players, one (, Scholten), two touchline-hugging (from, ) and one versatile centre forward (from, Bosman).
So successful was this system that Ajax won the playing Cruyff's system – a tribute to Cruyff's legacy as Ajax coach. Return to Barcelona as manager. Cruyff playing with Ajax in 1971.
In modern football, Cruyff was one of the brilliant pioneers of the ' position.Throughout his career, Cruyff became synonymous with the playing style of 'Total Football'. It is a system where a player who moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus allowing the team to retain their intended organizational structure. In this fluid system, no footballer is fixed in their intended outfield role. The style was honed by Ajax coach Rinus Michels, with Cruyff serving as the on-field 'conductor'.
Space and the creation of it were central to the concept of Total Football. Ajax defender, who played with Cruyff, explained how the team that won the European Cup in 1971, 1972 and 1973 worked it to their advantage: 'We discussed space the whole time.
Cruyff always talked about where people should run, where they should stand, where they should not be moving. It was all about making space and coming into space. It is a kind of architecture on the field.
We always talked about speed of ball, space and time. Where is the most space? Where is the player who has the most time? That is where we have to play the ball.
Every player had to understand the whole geometry of the whole pitch and the system as a whole.' The team orchestrator, Cruyff was a creative with a gift for timing passes. Nominally, he played centre-forward in this system and was a prolific goalscorer, but dropped deep to confuse his markers or moved to the wing to great effect. In the between West Germany and the Netherlands, from the kick-off, the Dutch monopolised. At the start of the move that led to the opening goal, Cruyff picked up the ball in his own half.
The Dutch captain, who was nominally a centre-forward, was the deepest Dutch outfield player, and after a series of passes, he set off on a run from the centre circle into the West German box. Unable to stop Cruyff by fair means, brought Cruyff down, conceding a penalty scored. The first German to thus touch the ball was goalkeeper picking the ball out of his own net. Due to the way Cruyff played the game, he is still referred to as 'the total footballer'. Former French player states, 'I loved the Dutch in the '70s, they excited me and Cruyff was the best. He was at the heart of a revolution with his football. Ajax changed football and he was the leader of it all.
If he wanted he could be the best player in any position on the pitch.' Cruyff was known for his technical ability, speed, acceleration, and vision, possessing an awareness of his teammates' positions as an attack unfolded. Despite his relatively unimpressive stature and strength, Cruyff's tactical brain and reading of the game were exceptional. 'Football consists of different elements: technique, tactics and stamina', he told the journalists Henk van Dorp and Frits Barend, in one of the interviews collected in their book Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff.
'There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing.
You can divide tactics into insight, trust and daring. In the tactical area, I think I just have more than most other players.' On the concept of technique in football, Cruyff once said: 'Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1,000 times. Anyone can do that by practising. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.' As noted, 'Johan is so technically perfect that even as a boy he stopped being interested in that aspect of the game.
He could do everything when he was 20. That's why he's been very interested in tactics since he was very young.
He sees football situations so clearly that he was always the one to decide how the game should be played.' In 1997, Dutch journalist Hubert Smeets wrote, 'Cruyff was the first player who understood that he was an artist, and the first who was able and willing to collectivise the art of sports.' Sports writer David Miller believed that Cruyff was superior to any previous player in his ability to extract the most from others. He dubbed him ' in boots' for the complexity and precision of his passes and wrote, 'Few have been able to exact, both physically and mentally, such mesmeric control on a match from one penalty area to another.' According to 's -winning striker, 'He Cruyff was pretty intelligent, too! A real football brain.
He had superb control, he was inventive and he could perform magic with a ball to get himself out of trouble instinctively. He got a lot of goals, and although he was so skilful, he didn't show off – he played to the strengths of the players around him.
This side would really keep hold of the ball.' Importance of style and identity as cultural values in football Winning is an important thing, but to have your own style, to have people copy you, to admire you, that is the greatest gift.
We showed the world you could enjoy being a footballer; you could laugh and have a fantastic time. I represent the era which proved that attractive football was enjoyable and successful, and good fun to play too.—Johan CruyffRegarded by many as Europe's first true football superstar, Cruyff is often mentioned alongside the pair widely considered the finest to have played the game, Pele and Maradona. As a player, he greatly helped turn the previously backward and obscure (at both club and international level) into a world-class powerhouse in the 1970s.
In 's words, 'without Cruyff, Holland Netherlands wouldn't have had a footballing tradition.' Cruyff is always considered to be an indisputable icon in Ajax's history, especially in (1966–1973). He was instrumental in Ajax's transformation from a semi-professional club into a dominant force in European club football. Cruyff inspired Ajax to win the European Cup three times in succession at the beginning of the 1970s before moving to Barcelona in 1973 and helping the club win their first La Liga title in 14 years. In 1974, he led the Netherlands to their first and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament. — Gabriele Marcotti, 2016Cruyff was regarded by many as one of the few truly great players who made the transition to being a great as well.
His greatness was summed up by the former Dutch international Johan Neeskens, 'If you look at the greatest players in history, most of them couldn't coach. If you look at the greatest coaches in history, most of them were not great players. Johan Cruyff did both – and in such an exhilarating style.' Cruyff is undisputedly regarded as one of the greatest and most influential managers in history of the game, despite his top-level coaching career only lasted 11 years with two clubs. In July 2011, website Football Pantheon included him on its list of the top 50 greatest managers of all time. However, Cruyff's coaching legacy was about not just trophies and records but also the style and identity.As the manager of AFC Ajax, Cruyff was able to implement his favoured team formation (3–4–3): with three mobile defenders; plus one more covering space – becoming, in effect, a defensive midfielder, two 'controlling' midfielders with responsibilities to feed the attack-minded players, one second striker, two touchline-hugging wingers and one versatile centre forward.
So successful was this system that Ajax won the Champions League in 1995 playing Cruyff's system. The starting point of his system was always the doctrine of dominating the game with ball possession. When lost against Barcelona in the European Cup in 1994 with 4–0, remarked about the system Cruyff was using:That was a big lesson for me. They showed us how important it is to possess the ball. I hadn't understood it until then.
I learned how important it is to have control of the ball in European matches. As Guardiola (2016) and Laporta (2017) mentioned, – with all his qualities – is considered as the best of Cruyffian school (of football).I'm a footballing romantic just like Cruyff. We like football that is attractive, attacking and easy on the eye. When you win playing like this it's twice as satisfying. (.) I've always played attacking football: my footballing ideals are very clear and well-defined. I've grown up at Barcelona with that style and that's the one I like.
I think it's good to win like that, by taking the initiative right from the off. —, June 2010I met him, I played against him and we had some exchanges. We shared many ideas and I personally have been influenced by Johan Cruyff and this Dutch generation of football. (.) I have a big respect in general for the Dutch school, and Johan Cruyff especially, because let's not forget he is the product of a school in Holland which was around before him. People like Rinus Michels, who influenced his players too, because this is not an isolated way of thinking. Johan Cruyff had it too - that personality, the character to say 'yes, I believe in this game, and I'm strong and brave enough to apply it on the pitch.' That's what I admired.
I haven't always been understood. As a footballer, as coach and also for what I did after all that. But OK, and weren't understood either. That's what you learn: people go on bothering you until you're a genius.—Johan Cruyff in his My Turn: The AutobiographyBorn in the heavily damaged, Cruyff came from a humble background and lost his father as a child.
This had a great influence on his future career and character. He was renowned for his strong.
His character, both in and beyond the footballing world, was much described as the complicated combination of an idealist, individualist, libertarian, collectivist, romantic, purist, pragmatist, rebel, and even despot. Dutch sportswriter, a close friend of Cruyff, once said of him, 'Johan Cruijff is absolutely religious, though he never goes to church.' In August 1973, Ajax players voted for to be the team's captain in a secret ballot, ahead of Cruyff. And Cruyff decided his time in Amsterdam had come to an end. He joined Barcelona just weeks later, two years before the Spanish dictator died, maintaining to the European press corps en route that he chose Barcelona over rivals Real Madrid because he could never join a club '. As he recalled in a documentary on TV3 channel, 'I remember my move to Spain was quite controversial. The president of Ajax wanted to sell me to Real Madrid.
Barcelona weren't at the same level as Madrid football wise, but it was a challenge to play for a Catalan club. Barcelona was more than a club.' At the end of the 1982–83 season, Ajax decided not to offer Cruyff a new contract. This angered Cruyff and he responded by signing for Feyenoord.
Cruyff's season at Feyenoord was a successful one in which the club won the Eredivisie for the first time in a decade, part of a league and KNVB Cup double.Cruyff's strong personality played a historical role in the eternal struggle between and, the two rival brands that were born from the political divisions between the two Dassler brothers. Cruyff was a big fan of 's King boots and by 1974 had signed a sponsorship deal with German sportswear and equipment supplier. At the 1974 World Cup, Johan Cruyff was under contract with Puma in a deal that prohibited him from promoting other sports brands. As the tournament approached, Cruyff flatly refused to wear 's trademark three black stripes on his No. The Netherlands national football association had little choice but to honor the wishes of their best player, and Dutch officials eventually persuaded Adidas to design a separate jersey just for Cruyff, with just two stripes running along the sleeves. Jersey number 14. Cruyff and Danny Coster getting married on 2 December 1968At the wedding of Ajax teammate, on 13 June 1967, Cruyff met his future wife, Diana Margaretha 'Danny' Coster (b.
They started dating, and on 2 December 1968, at the age of 21, he married Danny. Her father was Dutch businessman Cor Coster who also happened to be Cruyff's agent. He was also credited with engineering Cruyff's move to in 1973. The marriage is said to have been. Contrary to his well-known strong personality and superstar status, Cruyff led a relatively quiet private life beyond the world of football. A highly principled, strong-minded and devoted family man, Cruyff's football career, both as a player and as a manager, was considerably influenced by his family, in particular his wife Danny. He and Danny had three children together: Chantal (16 November 1970), Susila (27 January 1972), and (9 February 1974).
The family has lived in since 1973, with a six-year interruption from December 1981 to January 1988 when they lived in, the Netherlands.In 1977, Cruyff announced his decision to retire from international football at the age of 30, despite still being lean and wiry, after helping the country qualify for the. This move, shrouded in mystery and met with disbelief back in late 1977, was only finally stripped of its mystique in 2008, when Cruyff explained his decision in an interview with. It was while still living in Barcelona as a player in late 1977, Cruyff and his family became the victims of an armed attacker who forced his way into his flat in Barcelona. And the man who was then the ultimate football superstar was confronted with the choice between family values and a highly promising World Cup glory at the end of his international career. But for Cruyff, family comes first. In the interview with Catalunya Radio, he said that the attempted kidnap was the reason he decided not to go to the World Cup in Argentina in 1978. As he recalled, 'You should know that I had problems at the end of my career as a player here and I don't know if you know that someone put a rifle at my head and tied me up and tied up my wife in front of the children at our flat in Barcelona.
The children were going to school accompanied by the police. The police slept in our house for three or four months. I was going to matches with a bodyguard.
All these things change your point of view towards many things. There are moments in life in which there are other values. We wanted to stop this and be a little more sensible. It was the moment to leave football and I couldn't play in the World Cup after this.' Cruyff named his third child after the patron saint of, St Jordi, commonly known in English as of Lydda.
This was seen as a provocative gesture towards the then Spanish dictator General Franco, who had made all symbols of Catalan nationalism illegal. Cruyff had to fly his son back to the Netherlands to register his birth as the name 'Jordi' had been banned by the Spanish authorities.
Cruyff's decision to go to such great lengths to support Catalan nationalism is part of the reason he is a hero to Barcelona supporters and Catalan nationalists.Jordi Cruyff has played for teams such as Barcelona (while father Johan was manager), Manchester United,. His grandson, plays at. The younger Cruyff wears 'Jordi' on his shirt to distinguish himself from his famous father, which also reflects the common Spanish practice of referring to players by given names alone or by nicknames.
Pep Guardiola, Ronald Koeman, and Joan Laporta were among Cruyff's closest friends. Estelle Cruijff, a niece of Cruyff, was married to for 12 years (2000–2012). Religious views Cruyff once described himself as 'not religious' and criticized the practices of devoutly Catholic Spanish players: 'In Spain all 22 players make the before a game; if it worked, every game would be a tie.' That widely quoted statement earned him a place on lists of the world's top athletes. But in the 1990s, Cruyff told the Dutch Catholic radio station RKK/KRO that as a child he attended Sunday school, where he was taught about the Bible, and that while he didn't go to church as an adult, he believed 'there's something there.'
The Dutch evangelical broadcaster EO posted an interview conducted before Cruyff's death with his friend, the editor-in-chief of magazine. 'People don't know the real Johan Cruyff', Derksen said.
'I have on occasion had beautiful conversations with him about faith, because we both went to the same kind of schools and learned about the Bible. And it stays with you.' Cruyff is also said to have had an attachment to Jewish culture, having grown up in the Amsterdam municipal populated by a sizeable Jewish community, and more prevalently because of his lifelong connections with – a football club with such strong Dutch Jewish influences that some have even dubbed it a 'Jewish club'.
