Football is a game you play with your brains
There have been lots of brilliant football figures down the years, but none has been as significant as Johan Cruyff.
As a player with Ajax, Barcelona and the Netherlands, he put himself in the pantheon along with greats such as Pele, Diego Maradona, Ferenc Puskas, Lionel Messi and Zinedine Zidane. As coach at Ajax and Barcelona, he built thrilling sides, nurtured a remarkable number of genius players and influenced many of the most important teams in the world.
“Don’t run so much,” Cruyff said. “Football is a game you play with your brains.”
