Esce postuma l'autobiografia di Johan Cruyff
Johan Cruyff: My Turn. The Autobiography Macmillan
Risvolto
Johan Cruyff is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in
football history. Throughout his playing career, he was synonymous with
Total Football, a style of play in which every player could play in any
position on the pitch. Today, his philosophy lives on in teams across
Europe, from Barcelona to Bayern Munich and players from Lionel Messi to
Cesc Fabrecas.
My Turn tells the story of Cruyff's life
starting at Ajax, where he won eight national titles and three European
Cups before moving to Barcelona where he won La Liga in his first
season, in 1973, and was named European Footballer of the Year. He won
the Ballon d'Or three times, and led the Dutch national team to the
final of the 1974 World Cup, famously losing to West Germany, and
receiving the Golden Ball as the player of the tournament.
While
on the field Cruyff was in total control, off the field his life was
more turbulent with a kidnapping attempt and bankruptcy. After retiring
in 1984, he became a hugely successful manager of Ajax and then
Barcelona when he won the Champions league with a young Pep Guardiola in
his team. In 1999 Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century, and
came second behind Pelé in the World Player of the Century poll.In March 2016 Cruyff died after a short battle with lung cancer bringing world football to a standstill in an outpouring of emotions. A brilliant teacher and analyst of the game he love, My Turn is Johan Cruyff's legacy.
