Go Johann, it's your birthday!
You guys all know who Pele is but this is another legend of the game that you should know.
Johann Cruyff played for Holland and played most of his career for Dutch giants Ajax. Ajax's
style became known as "total football". This was due to fluid movement of players during the game. All positions were interchangeable and no field player was to feel stuck in a position.
If you do recognize the name it's because of a move that you have practiced and mastered called the Cruyff Turn. Cruyff would look to pass or cross the ball. However, instead of kicking it, he would drag the ball behind his planted foot with the inside of his other foot and turn through 180 degrees and accelerate away outside a defender.
