I knew nothing about football before knowing Cruyff.' – Pep Guardiola 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. Off the field his life was more turbulent, surviving a kidnapping attempt and bankruptcy. This honest and unflinching autobiography also explores his life after retirement, when 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. My Turn is the inspirational account of a legendary football hero, voted European Player of the Century, in his own words. 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.

My Turn

A Life of Total Football

By: Johan Cruyff

The autobiography of Dutch soccer legend Johan Cruyff, whose remarkable life and impeccable style have influenced star players and clubs for decades Johan Cruyff embodied a footballing philosophy that now dominates coaching and playing styles in all the leading club sides around the world. You can dispute whether Cruyff was the greatest player ever -- he was certainly one of the top three -- but he is undoubtedly the player who single-handedly changed the nature of the game. My Turn tells the story of Cruyff's remarkable career, built on the techniques he learned playing in the streets of postwar Amsterdam while hoping to be noticed by the city's famous club, Ajax. He would eventually inspire that team to eight league championships and three European cups. He won his first of three Ballons d'Or at twenty-four in 1971. In 1973, Cruyff was sold to Barcelona for a world-record transfer fee. He led the Catalans to victory in La Liga for the first time since 1960, and went on to leave a lasting mark on Spanish soccer. In the 1974 World Cup, Cruyff propelled the Dutch team to the final for the first time. Cruyff's lasting influence, however, is not in the medals he won, but in the style of play he epitomized and then applied to the Barcelona and Ajax teams he coached. His vision of "Total Football" transformed the way soccer was played, and its dazzling fluidity became the basis of the most admired sides around the world. He was the sport's uncompromising genius on and off the field of play.

By: Johan Cruyff,Sytze de Boer

Johan Cruijff praat zoals hij voetbalt: vaak intuïtief, ongrijpbaar, met een duidelijk doel voor ogen, en meestal een stap verder dan de ander. Dus is het logisch dat degenen die het oppervlakkig beluisteren, vooral de anekdotische kant van de 'Cruijffiaanse uitspraken' zien. Dit citatenboek is voor hen die Cruijffs ware visie achter zijn woorden willen ontdekken, en laat zich eveneens lezen als een beknopte biografie.

Johan Cruijff - Mijn voetbal

handboek voor winnaars

By: Johan Cruijff,Jaap de Groot

Johan Cruijff legt de 14 basisprincipes van het voetbal voor iedereen begrijpelijk uit. Uit alles blijkt waar hij voor staat: mooi, aanvallend voetbal, veel aandacht voor de voetballer zelf en bovenal: spelplezier. Dat is de grootste motor van succes. Zijn visie is niet zo maar een mening maar een overtuiging gebaseerd op tientallen jaren ervaring op het hoogste niveau. Een visie waarmee hij zichzelf en veel andere talentvolle spelers naar de absolute top bracht en waar nog elke dag aan wordt gerefereerd. ‘Voetbal is simpel. Maar simpel voetballen blijkt vaak het moeilijkste wat er is.’ Johan Cruijff ‘Met Johan heb ik nog altijd het gevoel dat hij er is. Hij is nog dagelijks op de achtergrond aanwezig.’ Ronald Koeman op Helden.nl ‘Johan was niet alleen onze beste voetballer ooit, hij was ook een icoon, trendsetter en kunstenaar.’ Metro ‘Zijn voetbalculturele en voetbaltechnische waarde is onbetwist – en alleen al daarom verdient Johan Cruijff – Mijn verhaal zijn grote publiek.’ AD
