Sitting at the table Pep Guardiola, Arsène Wenger, Guus Hiddink, Arrigo Sacchi and Xavi. They are the disciples, they listen to their leader Johan Cruyff. Painting is the scene in the style of old Dutch masters like Vermeer. It illustrates, only slightly ironic, the last text, which appeared to Cruyff’s lifetime. The English Digitalmagazin.weekly Bleacher Report has written him a few weeks ago. Whereby, text you can not say it is a bow, a eulogy, a canonization actually. The title: “Cruyff Church”.
art, religion – it’s about Johan Cruyff, his admirers are pathetic. He was the Footballer of the seventies. With Ajax Amsterdam and FC Barcelona, he won everything in the Orange Dress the ravishing national team of Holland was king Johan best player in the World Cup in 1974. Later he was even more successful than coaches and thinkers. He impressed the football for decades, until today and the future. His influence is not to overestimate.
