He might have been the biggest in football but to the Dutch he was much bigger than football. He has enriched the Dutch language with expressions and sayings, he was a rebel who changed the position of football players towards club and national team, he was a style icon in the 70's, he was the first to lease a car because he made the sponsor contract for his Citroen SM up that way, he snubbed the fascist Franco regime in Spain by naming his son "Jordi", a forbidden name in Spain because it's a Catalan name and San ordi is the patron saint of Catalunya, he got Cruijff courts all over the country. It was quite a character, not always an easy one to deal with, a great friend but also a terrible enemy to have and not a forgiving one. Easy going but imposing at the same time, a great communicator despite not speaking any language correctly. He never respected any hierarchies but was very humble at the same time. Extraordinary man in every way.

We miss him. He was guardian of our football principles. GOAT 🐐

This was after Johan Cruijff died, our best Dutch payer of all times. Thank you for showing this and your respectful reaction. Love your interest in us as a country, Marian from Amsterdam x

Being a stellar footballer made him world famous. His straight-forward, down-to-earth, Amsterdam working class way in life, made the world love him.

Hi, he was the BEST. He was the best and he will be the best forever. There is now one like him.❤ Greatings from Germany.

Johan Cruijff, number 14 forever! At Ajax the number 14 will never be worn by another player. It's his. Forever. ❌❌❌

He was the best of the best as a footballer and my idol from a very young age now iam 63

Still brings me to tears, miss you Johan.

as a dutch person i must say that the way that you said the title was way better then i expected knowing how hard our language can be

Hij liet alles zien met z'n techniek later met z'n kennis zo hoort het ook onze Johan hij is 6:17 ❤voor altijd onze beste speler de eenheid TOP

The song bloed, zweet en tranen was sung by Andre Hazes. Certain singers such as Freddie Mercury and Micheal Jackson were seen as some of the greatest internationally. Andre Hazes was like that for the Netherlands.

Johan was such a brillant and intelligent player it boderlined insanity!!

amsterdam , manchester . everybody have hero,s in footbal . the man who sing this song got the same honer in the same stadion . god rest there souls !!!!

How beautiful, couldn’t keep it dry. He definitely was the best player we ever had. Thank you ❤🙏🏻

Thank you ❤ from the Netherlands

the song is called bloed zweet en tranen by Andre Hazes

There are dozens of famous "Johan Cruijff wisdom quotes" used by so many people, almost all Dutch 🇳🇱 people including who are not in to football ... am not kidding.

The song was "Bloed, zweet en tranen" (2002) by Andre Hazes. And this was indeed at an Ajax home game vs PEC Zwolle.

For everyone who doesnt speak Dutch it is not very well known that some things Cruijff said in interviews are basicly part off the Dutch dictionary. It doesnt go well in translation, but makes sence in Dutch... Sort off. He did it in Spanish/Catalan aswell. Like his famous words: En un momento dado, wich is grammaticly wrong but it kinda makes sence. My favorite one that does work in translation, he said as a coach: The ball is my office. May we never forget him!

He's done a lot in his life and most Dutch people know at least one of his quotes. Like 'Elk nadeel heb z'n voordeel' (Every disadvantage has its advantage) or 'Vaak moet er iets gebeuren, voordat er iets gebeurt' (Often something needs to occur before something happens). Loved his communication style. To the point and you know where you stand

His most famous words were, Attacking is the best defence, because when you have the ball your opponent can not attack you,. Simple as that

He grew up not even 200 meters away from my home....

The singer of the song. Is "andre Hazes ' Met Blood zweet en tranen. Hun begrafenis is hier. Uitgezonden, op TV.

Dutch people know how to honore the football players, they are doing this always. BEST FANS OF THE WORLD.

I was there ,I was very lucky

The funeral of Hazes (the biggest Dutch singer ever) in the Arena is also very impressive.Zei gelooft in mij from Xander I like it most.

The song is called " Blo3led,zweet en tranen" by Andrè Hazes sr ("Blood,sweat and tears")

The song is bloed, zweet en tranen ( blood, sweat and tears ) which is the Ajax song. Andre Hazes sr who is the artist also sang Wij houden van Oranje We love Orange) the EC 88 song for the Dutch team that is now pretty much a Dutch Anthem for football. Cruijff is a legend, not only for his football talent but also as an analyst who had an unique way of saying things that is known here as Cruijffiaans.

Always difficult to see these tributes. I hate this day but I understand that some persons are leaving us. Sometimes I wish I could keep them in a box and use his wisdom so now and then. I am happy with all the content and books they wrote about him as his spirit is still alive. For me I do not talk about the greatest as it doesn't do any justice to any of them. His vision changed the game forever and he gave it to many ambassadors that take it to another level. See Pep with Man City and so on. I always loved his simplicity. That humbleness show how great he was.

it's not just ajax fan that respect cruijff. hell, i don't even really like football (except for ek/wk and watching it in an actual stadium instead of on tv) and *i* think he was a great player and human being.

Cruyff Bergkamp & van Basten That's the 🇳🇱 top 3

‘Do ye ken Hughie Gallacher the wee scots lad The best centre forward Newcastle ever had. If he doesn’t score a goal then we’ll put him on the dole, and wu’ll send him back to Scotland where he came from’ ❤ Btw I’m Dutch.

Blood sweat and tears= bloed zweet en tranen

You might already know about the documentary I'm about to mention, but if not you, as a fan, should watch: Una momento dado. About Cruijff making Barcelona Spains champion for the first time in a long time and the influence it had on the Catalan people. Gave him the nickname El Salvador (the Savior) and made him a legend for life. It's an hour and a half but so worth your time. Have fun...

If the Dutch team wins the European Championship, we can expect this again, see...European Championship 1988, the cruise and the honoring of the Dutch Team in Amsterdam, on KZfaq.

Blood,sweat and tears ( lyrics) I did well But also done so wrong When I look back in time A smile with tears That's how I feel today Tasted life So many friends, unprecedented With blood, sweat and tears I said, "Now get the hell out of here!" With blood, sweat and tears I said: "Friends, goodbye friends, the cake is gone" I've known happiness But also known sadness How many times did I hit my head? But still, I'm satisfied With everything I am When your fame is over Look who else you know With blood, sweat and tears I said, "Now get the hell out of here!" With blood, sweat and tears I said: "Friends, goodbye friends, the cake is gone" With blood, sweat and tears I said, "Now get the hell out of here!" With blood, sweat and tears I said: "Friends, goodbye friends, the cake is gone"

4:36 in honour of Cruiff there will never be anyone in the Dutch National team wearing 14...

Tribute in Camp Nou

Johan Cruijf Attending Andre Hazes Funeral (and speaks) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcCBmL2nv9XLhoE.html

All nation not only ajax

thanks sir for always johan cruijff ❌❌❌

Uhm, the artist singing that song is "Andre Hazes", A folk singer in the Netherlands. HIS funeral was in the Arena Stadium with 50.000 attendants. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irJkq5tel57ZnoE.html

He was probably the greatest philosopher of the game, not the best player.

I still see him as the man who made us lose the 1978 World Cup. Because he cared more about money than the national team and didn't play.
