Johan Cruyff: The Man, The Myth, The Legend



Johan Cruyff, or for the more historically correct fans, Hendrick Johannes Cruijff. One of the greatest footballers ever, if you disagree, you don't know your shit. This dude invents moves, reinvents football, and just plain shits on people with his foot skills. Anyone who grew up playing soccer, and had a good coach, definitely will remember learning the Cruyff turn. Yeah, that's this guy. Look at that lettuce, epic. For those of you who are still doubters, this guy won the Ballon d'Or three times. Only three other players have done that, Lionel Messi being one of them. Cruyff was a child of Total Football, a philosophy that was based on no set positions, allowing players to move freely filling in for one another to keep form. Changed the game. Dude, won Eurpoean Player of the Century, that's right a century. Would've won World Player of the Century if it weren't for some guy named Pele. His clubs included Ajax, Barcelona, and the Los Angeles Aztecs. Yeah, he played for the MLS, before it was the MLS, that's how legendary he is. Check out the video above, and yeah he doesn't always score in the video, but let me tell you, the shit this guy is doing with the ball is ten times more difficult then scoring on a big ass fucking net. Peace.
