Samenvatting

The autobiography of one of the greatest footballer players of all time, Johan Cruyff.

`Before I knew Cruyff I knew nothing about football’ Pep Guardiola `He was one of those great, great footballers that made you excited whenever he got the ball and began to play. The kind of football he played changed the game and still has an impact today’ Bobby Charlton `Cruyff did more to make the beautiful game beautiful than anyone in history’ Gary Lineker `If he wanted to he could be the best player in any position on the pitch’ Eric Cantona Johan Cruyff was one of the greatest players in football history. Throughout his career he was synonymous with Total Football and his philosophy of the game is the stuff of legend. In My Turn, Cruyff tells the story of his life, from street football to signing for Ajax aged ten, where he won three European Cups before moving to Barcelona in 1973 for a world-record fee. There he won La Liga in his first season, and was named European Footballer of the Year. In total he won the Ballon d’Or three times, and led the Dutch national team to the final of the 1974 World Cup. After retiring in 1984, he became a hugely successful manager of Ajax and then Barcelona, leading the Catalan giants to their first European Cup with a young Pep Guardiola in his team. While on the field and in the dugout Cruyff was in total control, yet away from the game his life was more turbulent, including a kidnapping attempt and bankruptcy, and here he discusses it all with his trademark wit and honesty. Cruyff’s death in March 2016 brought world football to a standstill. He was a brilliant teacher and outspoken analyst of the game he loved and changed forever. My Turn is the full story of his incredible legacy.

'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.
