As a follower of Dutch football for many years, this was very interesting. Stumbled across these quotes from Cruyff which are very apt in the context of the article – the latter two are my favourites:

“When you see a player sprinting, he left too late.”

“It’s better to lose with your own vision than win with someone else’s.”

“Italians can’t defeat you but you can lose to them.”

“Football is simple, but the hardest thing there is, is to play simple football.”

I’m going for Netherlands at the World Cup. Purely because of this article.

Beautiful.
