A few weeks after the death of club icon Johan Cruyff (68) Ajax chairman Hennie Henrichs for the first time commented in public. In a special issue of Ajax Club News the policymaker discusses the legendary number fourteen.
Henrichs believes that Ajax is known for the successes “linked to the game philosophy and its youth ‘. “And just at that third point, where Johan has an immeasurable contribution to this”, says the President, who Cruyff as a player describes as “inimitable, genius and a leader within and outside the field.
the president adds: “After his departure in 1973 returned to Barcelona Johan early 80s back to the Netherlands, first as a player and in 1985 as coach of Ajax During that period I was able to experience for themselves Johan like no one else knew what.. it meant to be a football idol. he always had time for an autograph or a picture. “
Cruyff fulfilled many functions in Ajax, including relatively recent an advisory role. That did not always run smoothly. “Perfectionist as he was, he was always on his way to the highest attainable. That period saw a number of conflicts that are not relevant at this time, because that detract from what Johan Ajax meant and how we want to remember him . ”
