Hendrik Johannes Cruijff OON (Dutch: [ˈjoːɦɑn ˈkrœy̆f]), born 25 April 1947 in Amsterdam), known as JohanCruyff, is a former Dutch footballer and is currently the manager of the Catalan national team. He won the Ballond'Or three times, in 1971, 1973 and 1974, which is a record jointly held with Michel Platini, Marco van Basten andLionel Messi. Cruyff was one of the most famous exponents of the football philosophy known as Total Footballexplored by Rinus Michels, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in association football.After his retirement from playing in 1984, Cruyff became highly successful as manager of Ajax and later FCBarcelona; he remains an influential advisor to both clubs. His son Jordi has also gone on to play footballprofessionally.In 1999, Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century in an election held by the IFFHS, and came secondbehind Pelé in their World Player of the Century poll.[1] He came third in a vote organised by the French weeklymagazine France Football consulting their former Ballon d'Or winners to elect their Football Player of theCentury.[2]

Style of playThrough his career, Cruyff became synonymous with the playing style of "Total Football".[3] It is a system where aplayer who moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus allowing the team to retain theirintended organizational structure. In this fluid system, no footballer is fixed in their intended outfield role; anyonecan be successively an attacker, a midfielder and a defender. The style was honed by Ajax coach Rinus Michelsaround the time Cruyff came to prominence.Cruyff was a playmaker, ammunitions provider and marksman rolled into one, with the ability to time a pass that hashardly "been equalled before or since".[4] Nominally, Cruyff played centre forward in this system, but he would dropdeep to confuse his markers or suddenly move to the wing with devastating effect. No one had seen a centre forwardlike that before. Due to the way Cruyff played his game, he is still referred to as "the total footballer."[5]

Cruyff was known for his technical ability, speed, acceleration and dribbling but his greatest quality was vision,based on an acute sense of his team-mates' positions as an attack unfolded. The sports writer David Miller believedCruyff superior to any previous player in his ability to extract the most from others. He dubbed him "Pythagoras inboots" for the complexity and precision of his angled passes and wrote: "Few have been able to exact, bothphysically and mentally, such mesmeric control on a match from one penalty area to another."[6]

Cruyff also perfected a move now known as the "Cruyff Turn." To do this move, Cruyff would look to pass or crossthe ball. Instead of kicking it, he would drag the ball behind his planted foot with the inside of his other foot, turnthrough 180 degrees, and accelerate away outside a defender.

Club careerCruyff played for Ajax, FC Barcelona, Los Angeles Aztecs, Washington Diplomats, Levante UD, and Feyenoordduring his career.

AjaxCruyff joined Ajax youth system on his 10th birthday. He made his first team debut on 15 November 1964 in the Eredivisie, against GVAV, scoring the only goal for Ajax in a 3–1 defeat. That year Ajax finished in their lowest position since the establishment of professional football, 13th.[7] Cruyff really started to make an impression in the 1965–66 season. Cruyff established himself as a regular first team player after scoring two goals against Door

Wilskracht Sterk in the Olympic stadium on 24 October 1965 (in a 2–0 victory). In the seven games that winter hescored eight times and in March 1966, he scored the first three goals in a league game against Telstar (6–2 win).Four days later, in a cup game against Veendam (7–0 win), he scored four goals. In total that season, Cruyff scored25 goals in 23 games, and Ajax won the league championship.In the 1966–67 season, Ajax again won the league championship, but also won the KNVB Cup, for Cruyff's first"double." Cruyff ended the season as the leading goalscorer in the Eredivisie with 33.Cruyff won the league for the third successive year in the 1967–68 season. He was also named Dutch footballer ofthe year for the second successive time, a feat he would repeat in 1969. On 28 May 1969, Cruyff played in his firstEuropean Cup final against Milan, but the Italian team ended up winning 4–1.In the 1969–70 season, Cruyff won his second league and cup "double", but at the beginning of the 1970–71 season,Cruyff suffered a long-term groin injury. He made his comeback on 30 October 1970 against PSV. In this game, hedid not wear his usual number 9, which was in use by Gerrie Mühren, but instead used number 14. Ajax won 1–0.Although it was very uncommon in those days for the starters of a game not to play with numbers 1 to 11, from thatmoment onwards, Cruyff's number was 14, even using the number with the Dutch national team.[8] There has evenbeen a documentary on Cruyff titled Nummer 14 Johan Cruyff[9] and in his native Holland there is a magazine byVoetbal International titled "Nummer 14".[10]

In a league game against AZ '67 on 29 November 1970, Cruyff scored no less than six goals in an 8–1 victory. Afterwinning a replayed KNVB Cup final against Sparta Rotterdam by a score of 2–1, Ajax won in Europe for the firsttime. On 2 June 1971, in London, Ajax won the European Cup by defeating Panathinaikos 2–0. In spite ofspeculation that Cruyff would move to another club (Feyenoord and Barcelona were interested) on 12 July 1971, hesigned a seven-year contract at Ajax. At the end of the season, he became not only the Dutch, but also the EuropeanFootballer of the Year for 1971.1972 was a particular successful year for Ajax and Cruyff. Ajax won a second European Cup, beating Internazionale2–0 in the final, with Cruyff scoring both goals. This victory prompted Dutch newspapers to announce the demise ofthe Italian style of defensive football in the face of Total Football. Soccer: The Ultimate Encyclopaedia says:"Single-handed, Cruyff not only pulled Internazionale of Italy apart in the 1972 European Cup Final, but scored bothgoals in Ajax's 2–0 win." Cruyff also scored in the 3–2 victory over ADO Den Haag in the KNVB Cup final. In theleague, Cruyff was the top scorer with 25 goals as Ajax became champions. In the autumn, Ajax won theIntercontinental Cup, beating Argentina's Independiente (1–1 and 3–0) and then in January 1973, they won theEuropean Super Cup by beating Rangers 3–1 away and 3–2 in Amsterdam. Curiously, Cruyff's only own goal cameon 20 August 1972 against FC Amsterdam. A week later, against Go Ahead Eagles (6–0), Cruyff scored four timesfor Ajax. The 1972–73 season was concluded with the another league championship victory and a third successiveEurope Cup (Ajax — Juventus 1–0).In the summer of 1973, Cruyff was sold to Barcelona for 6 million guilder (approx. US$ 2 million, c. 1973). On 19August 1973, he played his last match for Ajax (Ajax — Amsterdam 6–1), the 2nd match of the 1973–74 season.

BarcelonaHe further endeared himself when he chose a Catalan name Jordi for his son. He helped the club win La Liga for thefirst time since 1960, along the way defeating Real Madrid 5–0 at their home of Bernabéu. He was also crownedEuropean Footballer of the Year.During his time at Barcelona, Cruyff scored one of his most famous goals, The 'Phantom' Goal.[11] In a game againstAtlético Madrid, Cruyff leapt into the air, twisted his body so he was facing away from the goal, and kicked the ballpast Miguel Reina in the Atlético Madrid goal with his right heel (the ball was at about neck height and had alreadytravelled wide of the far post). The goal was featured in the documentary En un momento dado, in which fans ofCruyff attempted to recreate that moment. The goal has been dubbed Le but impossible de Cruyff (Cruyff'simpossible goal).

Note that Cruyff played two games with Paris Saint-Germain in 1975 during the Paris tournament. He had onlyagreed because he was a fan of designer Daniel Hechter, who was then president of PSG.[12]

United StatesAt the age of 32, he signed a lucrative deal with the Los Angeles Aztecs of the North American Soccer League(NASL). He had previously been rumored to be joining the New York Cosmos but the deal did not materialize.However, he did play exhibition games for the Cosmos. He stayed at the Aztecs for only one season, but was votedNASL Player of the Year in that time. The following season, he moved to play for the Washington Diplomats. Heplayed the whole 1980 campaign for the Diplomats, even as the team was facing dire financial trouble at the time. InMay 1981, Cruyff played as a guest player for Milan in a tournament, but was injured. As a result, he missed thebeginning of the 1981 NASL soccer season thereafter, which ultimately led to Cruyff choosing to leave the team.

LevanteIn January 1981, Cruyff played three friendly matches for FC Dordrecht. Also in January 1981, manager JockWallace of English club Leicester City made an audacious attempt to sign Cruyff. Despite negotiations lasting threeweeks, in which Cruyff expressed his desire to play for the club, a deal could not be reached as he instead chose tosign with Spanish Segunda División side Levante.[13] In March 1981, Cruyff took the field for the first time forLevante. Injuries and disagreements with the administration of the club would blight his spell in the SegundaDivisión, as he was only able to amount 10 appearances after his signing, scoring two goals. Having failed to securepromotion to the first division, Levante did not keep the financial agreements that were specified in Cruyff's contract.

Back in the Netherlands

After his spell in the USA and a short-lived stay at UD Levante inSpain, Cruyff returned to play in his homeland, rejoining Ajax on 30November 1980 as "technical advisor" of trainer Leo Beenhakker, Ajaxbeing 8th in the ranking of the table of the Dutch League then after 13games. Ajax would finish 2nd in 1980–81 in June 1981 after 34 games.In December 1981, Cruyff signed a new contract as player for Ajax.His already since November 1980 expected return was on 6 December1981 against Haarlem (4–1 home win), Cruyff scored the first goal. Inthe 1981–82 and 1982–83 seasons, Ajax, along with Cruyff, becameleague champions. In the 1982–83 season, Ajax also won the DutchCup (KNVB-Beker). One notable incident from this era was a famous goal he scored against Helmond Sport in 1982while playing for Ajax. Cruyff scored a penalty the same way Rik Coppens had already done it 25 yearsearlier.[14][15][16] He put the ball down as for a routine penalty kick, but instead of shooting at goal, Cruyff nudgedthe ball sideways to his Ajax teammate Jesper Olsen who in return passed it back to Cruyff who tapped the ball intothe empty net, as Otto Versfeld, the bemused Helmond goalkeeper, looked on.

FeyenoordAt the end of the 1982–83 season, Ajax decided not to offer Cruyff a new contract. This angered Cruyff, who responded by signing for Ajax's archrivals Feyenoord.[17] 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. Apart from a tormented Cruyff, this was mainly due to the strong playing Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman. Despite his relatively advanced age, Cruyff played that season all league matches except for one. Because of his performance on the field, he was voted for the fifth time as footballer of the year. At the end of the season the veteran announced his final retirement. He ended his Eredivisie playing career on 13 May 1984 with a goal against PEC Zwolle. Cruyff played

his last game in Saudi Arabia, bringing Feyenoord back into the game with a goal and an assist.[18]

for a penalty.

As a Dutch international, Cruyff played 48 matches,scoring 33 goals. The national team never lost a matchin which Cruyff scored. In his second Dutch nationalteam match, a friendly against Czechoslovakia, Cruyffwas the first Dutch international to receive a red card.He received a one-year suspension from the RoyalDutch Football Association.

Accusations of Cruyff's "aloofness" were not rebuffedby his habit of wearing a shirt with only two blackstripes along the sleeves, as opposed to Adidas' usualdesign feature of three, worn by all the other Dutchplayers. Cruyff, however, had a separate sponsorshipdeal with Puma.[19]

Cruyff led the Netherlands to a runners-up medal in the1974 World Cup and was named the player of thetournament. Thanks to his team's mastery of TotalFootball, they coasted all the way to the final, knockingout Argentina (4–0), East Germany (2–0), and Brazil(2–0) along the way. Cruyff himself scored twiceagainst Argentina in one of his team's most dominatingperformances, then he scored the second goal againstBrazil to knock out the defending champions. TheNetherlands faced hosts West Germany in the final.Cruyff kicked off and the ball was passed around theOranje team 13 times before returning to Cruyff, whothen went on a rush that eluded Berti Vogts and endedwhen he was fouled by Uli Hoeneß inside the box.Teammate Johan Neeskens scored from the spot kick togive the Netherlands a 1–0 lead, and the Germans hadnot even touched the ball. Only during the latter half ofthe final was his playmaking influence stifled by theeffective marking of Berti Vogts, while FranzBeckenbauer, Uli Hoeneß, and Wolfgang Overathdominated the midfield, enabling West Germany to win2–1.[20] Cruyff received a yellow card during half timefor talking to the referee.

Cruyff retired from international football in October1977, having helped the national team qualify for theupcoming World Cup. Without him, the Netherlandsfinished runners-up in the World Cup again. Initially

the reason given for missing the 1978 World Cup were political reasons given a military dictatorship was in power inArgentina at that time. In 2008, however, Cruyff stated to the journalist Antoni Bassas in Catalunya Ràdio that heand his family were involved in a kidnap attempt in Barcelona a year before the tournament, and that this had causedhis retirement. "To play a World Cup you have to be 200% okay, there are moments when there are other values inlife."[21]

Managerial career

Ajax

Johan Cruyff during his farewell match against BayernMünchen in 1978

After retiring from playing, Cruyff followed in the footstepsof his mentor Rinus Michels, coaching a young Ajax side tovictory in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1987 (final:Ajax — Lokomotiv Leipzig 1–0; goal by Marco vanBasten). In May and June 1985, Cruyff returned to Ajaxagain. In the 1985–86 season, the league title was lost toGuus Hiddink's PSV, despite Ajax having a goal differenceof +85 (120 goals for, 35 goals against). In the 1985–86 and1986–87 seasons, Ajax won the Dutch Cup (KNVB-Beker).

It was during this period as manager that Cruyff was able toimplement his favoured team formation—three mobiledefenders; plus one more covering space - becoming, ineffect, a defensive midfielder (from Rijkaard, Blind, Silooy,Verlaat, Larsson, Spelbos), two 'controlling' midfielders(from Rijkaard, Scholten, Winter, Wouters, Mühren,Witschge) with responsibilities to feed the attack-mindedplayers, one second striker (Bosman, Scholten), twotouchline-hugging wingers (from Bergkamp, van't Schip,De Wit, Witschge) and one versatile centre forward (fromvan Basten, Meijer, Bosman). So successful was this systemthat Ajax won the Champions League in 1995 playingCruyff's system - a tribute to Cruyff's legacy as Ajax coach.Terry Venables as England manager was an advocate of thissystem, based on free-flowing football and intelligent andincisive individuals carrying out seemingly simple functions, in the Euro 1996 semi-final versus Germany, Englandused this system effectively.[22]

BarcelonaIn 1988, Cruyff returned to Barcelona as manager. At Barcelona, Cruyff brought in players such as Josep Guardiola,José Mari Bakero, Txiki Begiristain, Goikoetxea, Ronald Koeman, Michael Laudrup, Romário, Gheorghe Hagi, andHristo Stoichkov. Under Cruyff, Barcelona won La Liga four times between 1991 and 1994, and beat Sampdoria inboth the 1989 European Cup Winners' Cup final and the 1992 European Cup final at Wembley. They also won aCopa del Rey in 1990, the European Super Cup in 1992 and three Supercopa de España.Cruyff used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day prior to undergoing double heart bypass surgery in 1991 while he was thecoach of Barcelona, after which he gave up smoking. He also led the anti-smoking campaign developed by theHealth Department of the Catalan autonomous government. Cruyff juggled a cigarette pack 16 times in ananti-tobacco video sponsored by the Catalan Department of Health.[23][24][25]

Johan Cruyff 8

With 11 trophies, Cruyff was Barcelona's most successful manager, but has since been surpassed by his former pupilJosep Guardiola who achieved 15. He has been the club's longest serving manager. However, in his final twoseasons, he failed to win any trophies, and fell out with chairman Josep Lluís Núñez; this resulted in his departurefrom the club, and he vowed never to coach again.While at Barcelona, he was in negotiations with the KNVB to manage the national team for the 1994 World Cupfinals, but talks broke off at the last minute.[26]

His open support helped candidate Joan Laporta to victory in Barcelona's recent presidential elections. He continuedto be an adviser for him, although he held no official post at Barcelona.Known as a player's coach with deep convictions with regard to his philosophy of the game, he is considered avisionary and his presence at Barcelona was said to have changed many things and this was the beginning of what isknown as the "Dutch influence" at Barcelona.[27] The style of play Cruyff introduced at Barcelona came to be knownas tiki-taka and was successfully adopted by the Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 winning Spanishnational team.[28]

On 26 March 2010, Cruyff was named honorary president of Barcelona, in recognition of his contributions to theclub as both a player and manager.[29] He was stripped of this title by new president Sandro Rosell in July2010.[30][31]

Proposed return to AjaxOn 20 February 2008, in the wake of a major research on the ten-year-mismanagement, it was announced that Cruyffwould be the new technical director at his boyhood club Ajax—this would be his fourth stint at the Amsterdamclub.[32] However, Cruyff announced in March that he is pulling out of his planned return to Ajax because of"professional difference of opinion" between him and Ajax's new manager, Marco van Basten. Van Basten said thatCruyff's plans were "going too fast", because he was "not so dissatisfied with how things are going now".[33]

On 11 February 2011, Johan Cruyff has returned to Ajax on an advisory basisafter agreeing to become a member of one of three "sounding board groups".[35]

Outside football

In the Netherlands, and to some extent Spain, Cruyff is famous for his one-liners that usually hover between brilliantinsight and the blatantly obvious. They are famous for their Amsterdam dialect and incorrect grammar, and oftenfeature tautologies and paradoxes.[44] In Spain, his most famous statement is "En un momento dado." The quote hasbeen used for the title of a 2004 documentary about Cruyff's life: Johan Cruijff - En un momento dado. In theNetherlands, his most famous one-liner is "Ieder nadeel heb z'n voordeel" ("Every disadvantage has its advantage")and his way of expressing himself has been dubbed "Cruijffiaans." Cruyff rarely limits himself to a single linethough, and in a comparison with the equally oracular but reserved football manager Rinus Michels, Kees Fensequated Cruyff's monologues to experimental prose, "without a subject, only an attempt to drop words in a sea ofuncertainty (…) there is no full stop".[44]

In November 2003, Cruyff invoked legal proceedings against the publisher Tirion Uitgevers, over its photo bookJohan Cruyff de Ajacied (Johan Cruijff the Ajax player), which used photographs by Guus de Jong. Cruyff wasworking on another book, also using De Jong's photographs, and claimed unsuccessfully that Tirion's book violatedhis trademark and portrait rights.In 2004, Cruyff ended sixth place in the election of De Grootste Nederlander (The Greatest Dutchman).In 2010, the asteroid (minor planet) 14282 Cruijff (2097 P-L) was named after him. The International AstronomicalUnion (IAU) officially ratified the naming of Cruijff on 23 September 2010. After Josef Bican and Ferenc Puskás,Cruyff is the third football player to have an asteroid named after him.[45][46]

Cruyff had a small hit (No.21 in the charts) in the Netherlands with "Oei Oei Oei (Dat Was Me Weer een Loei)."Upon arriving in Barcelona, the Spanish branch of Polydor decided to release the single in Spain as well, where itwas rather popular.[47]

Johan Cruyff 14

FamilyOn 2 December 1968, Cruyff married Danny Coster. Johan and Danny have three children together: Chantal (16November 1970), Susila (27 January 1972), and Jordi (9 February 1974). The family has lived in Barcelona since1973, with a six year interruption from December 1981 to January 1988 when they lived in Vinkeveen, TheNetherlands.His son Jordi has played for teams such as Barcelona (while father Johan was manager), Manchester United, andAlavés. Interestingly, the younger Cruyff sports "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. It isalso related to the commercial claim of "name and fame" of his father to the name Cruyff-Cruijff.His grandson, Jessua Angoy, currently plays for the reserve side at Wigan Athletic.
