A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Frits Barend and Henk van Dorp interviewed Johan Cruyff from 1974 to 1986 for Vrij Nederland and from 1987 to 1997 for Nieuwe Revu. Cruyff also made countless appearances on their popular radio and TV shows in Holland. In Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff: The ABC of an Obstinate Maestro, which was authorised by Cruyff, Barend and Van Dorp have brought together the best of their interviews and features on Johan Cruyff. The book offers a scintillating portrait of a phenomenal sportsman, who still grips mass audiences with his opinions on football, his quirky statements, his analyses and general unpredictability. Not only was Cruyff a joy to watch in action - as the coach of Ajax and Barcelona he has also been a stadium filler with his characteristic brand of attacking one-touch football, which has had such an impact on the game all over the world. Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff deals for the most part with Cruyff's own personal 'ABC'. Responding to critical and probing questions from Barend and Van Dorp, the idiosyncratic maestro talks on various wide-ranging topics: the glory of Ajax in the seventies, the 1974 World Cup, the Netherlands team, his 'second love' Barcelona, the Ajax system, Feyenoord, his son Jordi, players such as Koeman, Rijkaard and Van Basten, the strategy of attack, taking a penalty, doctors, saying goodbye, God and life beyond football. The interviews read like personal memoirs and offer a kaleidoscopic view of the sporting life of Holland's most famous soccer star ever.
