It is generally accepted that many successful people have some element of luck, but Cruyff's success is inevitable, and his hard work is the root cause of that inevitability.

Cruyff was born on April 25, 1947, in a poor part of Amsterdam, the son of humble fruit and vegetable sellers. Due to poor family conditions, Cruyff grew up malnourished and thin, but this did not affect his love of football.

From an early age, Cruyff longed to join Ajax Football Club, and at the age of seven, Cruyff taught himself how to play football.

No place, go to the beach near home; No sneakers, just barefoot, even in winter, and often for hours on end.

As long as enough love, no difficulty can stop the pace of progress.

It was only when the running of the teenager caught the eye of Ajax's youth team coach that Cruyff was admitted to the club.

In the club, Cruyff is not the best player, even because of the thin body was almost eliminated.

Cruyff has worked harder and is determined to stay here and be the best player.

Other people train five hours a day, he will stick to the eighth hour; When someone else does something three times, he will repeat it five or even ten times.

Finally, in his first season with the junior team, Cruyff stunned Dutch football by scoring 74 goals and was no longer told he was not good enough.

After World War I fame, many excellent domestic clubs, such as Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and other giants have to Cruyff olive branch.

It can be said that no matter which team to join, will have a great boost to his future development, but he did not move, but chose to stay in his understanding of the Ajax team.

There are regrets after the glory

Cruyff, as one of the most influential players in world football, has always been regarded as a myth in the history of world football. As good as he is, his career is not without regrets.

Cruyff's achievements are well known. He has won the Dutch Ligue 1 championship nine times, the European Champions Cup three times and the European Footballer of the Year three times.

He led his players to four Spanish Liga titles and the 1991-92 European Cup. Cruyff's strength can be seen in every accolade.

As you may have noticed, the World Cup is not one of those honors.

Cruyff came very close to winning the World Cup, but he led the Netherlands to their first World Cup finals in 1974 and all the way there before losing to Germany in the final.

A record of 1:2 denied him a top podium finish, and Cruyff's failure to win any major championships for his country was a lifelong regret.

Another way to serve my country

Cruyff announced his retirement in 1984.

In order to make up for the career regret, he still did not leave the field after retirement.

With football in mind, national glory in mind and the World Cup in mind, he chose to devote himself to youth football development, continue to contribute to the football world and play for his country in another way.
