	rediff.com: World Cup Legends - Johann Cruyff
		While most soccer stars are known for distinctive playing styles, Johann Cruyff is credited with initiating a whole soccer movement, that of "Total Soccer".
		Cruyff's gift to soccer was a revolutionary approach where players were encouraged to play attacking soccer without being tied down to a role or formation.
		Agreed, Brazilian soccer arouses passion for its free-flowing style, but it was Cruyff who introduced unbridled flair to the sport.

		The Netherlands, with Johan Cruyff outstanding, beat Argentina 4-0 and Brazil 2-0 to announce their arrival, while West Germany, after a somewhat shaky start to the tournament, and led by the "Kaiser" Franz Beckenbauer were at the top of their game to beat a brilliant Netherlands side.
		Earlier on in the tournament, East Germany's 1:0 win over their political enemies from the west may not have had much meaning in the sporting sense since both teams had already qualified for the next round.
		Johann Cruyff and Co played some great attacking football, but they were not alone in that.

		A brilliant if tempestuous star, Johann Cruyff's goals helped Holland into the 1974 World Cup final, although the man who played a great part in "total-football" eventually finished with a loser's medal.
		Cruyff, one of the all-time greats, was born in Amsterdam in 1947 and at 19, and in his first season in Ajax's first team, was the Dutch league's top scorer and helped destroy Liverpool in the European Cup.
		In 1973, Cruyff joined his old Ajax boss Rinus Michels, for £922.000, and helped Barcelona win the Spanish league and cup.

		Cruyff brought a whole new dimension to the game with the way he played and Holland's Total Football team of 1974 was a joy to watch.
		Cruyff also won the European Footballer of the Year award three times, so it's not just my opinion we are talking about here!
		Cruyff only played in one World Cup, even though many assume he led Holland to a second final appearance in 1978.

	Soccernet.com Euro 2000 News: Cruyff jibe won't keep me quiet, insists Davids
		Those damning words from the man who inspired the Total Football side of 1974 were eagerly repeated and reported by a Dutch media whose dislike of Davids is mutual.
		There is much sympathy for Cruyff's view that Davids is an artisan among artists, a feeling intensified by the iconographic status he has been granted, his face and special glasses projected on to the skyscrapers of Rotterdam as a symbol of the Dutch side.
		For all his efforts to muzzle himself at their training base here in Hoenderloo near Arnhem, the 'Pit-bull' was unable to avoid snapping back.

		While the critics, Johann Cruyff the most prominent, make withering attacks on the likes of Edgar Davids and Dennis Bergkamp, it is coach Frank Rijkaard who is under the most pressure.
		The irony is that it is Cruyff, a former mentor of Rijkaard, who has been his worst critic during the past fortnight.
		Hanging Judge Johann is not, however, persuaded towards a stay of execution.

		Johan Cruyff blev snabbt en symbol för FC Barcelona och ingen enskild spelare har nog betytt så mycket för ett lag, förutom Diego Maradona när han i stort sett ensam lyfte Napoli från bottenlag till italienska mästare.
