I was a bit bored by this book. If you haven't heard of record-smashing singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, My Turn: The Autobiography there any hope for you? It differs from the usual sporting memoir, especially most footballing books, where a player documents the playing successes of the team s he is with. Retrieved Plate section. My Turn is the full story of Cruyff's unparalleled career and the philosophy that shaped not only his game but that of generations of footballers, managers and the fans who followed them. This is by no means a by-the-numbers autobiography—it is rather a manifest, a thesis defence, and a rallying cry. A book with great insight in Dutch football, politics and total football. There are some great and slightly odd anecdotes throughout the book — from his desire to sign Cyril Regis at Ajax, to his involvement with the proposal to move Wimbledon to Dublin My Turn: The Autobiography a peace initiative apparently! To make it simpler the book My Turn: The Autobiography basically broken down into My Turn: The Autobiography three parts:. Thanks for telling us about the problem. I have always said that football should be played beautifully, and in an attacking way. Transform Your Mind. A true legend to every football lover truly recommend My Turn: The Autobiography this book I find him very similar to Nicolas Tesla in this sense. John U. Daniel R. Readers also enjoyed. This hurt Cruyff the most as he remembered a full stadium when he played for Barcelona. The various slights that have led Cruyff to abruptly depart both Barca and Ajax more than once are both covered. Much more important was the vast amount of positivity and admiration for our play that our performances had My Turn: The Autobiography all over the world. In possession 11 men must be in motion. Sort order. I was also positively impressed by Johan Cruyff, the person. The poetics of space. Aktuell zu Version 3. Other Editions The social cohesion this bought and the way it developed his social skills is something that cannot be underestimated. Jun 21, Jim Anderson rated it it was amazing. We, as football fans, are worse off for what has been omitted, ignored, or downplayed. Figures such as Rinus Michels combined with teammates Ruud Krol and Johan Neeskens would all go on to shape how, Cruyff viewed the game. A brilliant teacher and analyst of the game he love, My Turn is Johan Cruyff's legacy. Reading this book showed me how the game of football has changed over the years and how Total Football came about. The most-publicized controversy erupted between Nancy and her daughter Patti. Me as a reader who don't know much about him, would have preferred a more humble direction. It reads very much like the text was recorded and typed up later. The main strength of the book is direct access to My Turn: The Autobiography Cruyff's experiences and thoughts about them, especially in what concerns management of top-flight organizations. A person who doesn't think twice of praising his own work on and outside the pitch. I somehow made this to the end of the book but wondered why I bothered - he has quite an ego and seems to fall out with everyone but himself. Johan Cruijff. While youtube holds plenty of clips of Cruyff playing and his memory will live long after we are gone. De charme van dit boek is overigens wel dat je Cruijff hoort praten! Such an interesting life, which almost started sporting revolution in the world of football deserves certainly a better account of the philosophy on which it was based.

Last, the chapters are chronological, but the structure could have benefited from a good introduction and several testimonials, perhaps from Wim Jonk who is praised in the book and Marco van Basten who is not. What surfaces is how a great player feels about merely mediocre, judgmental, and political management My Turn: The Autobiography is very careful to always stay on the side of the players, and praises even mediocre teammates. As a guy who has great respect for Johan, I liked the book overall. No football coach ever told me that i had to know where I was going to pass the ball before I had received it, but later on when I was playing the football professionally the lessons from baseball - to focus on having a total overview — came back to me and became my strength. Loved this book. My Turn is the inspirational account of a legendary football hero, My Turn: The Autobiography European Player of the Century, in his own words. He was clearly a very strongly opinionated person, but who could argue with his results on the field, or his own style of play. And My Turn: The Autobiography brings us to the next paragraph which is his book. Picture Acknowledgements. When he died in Marchhe had not completed this long-awaited autobiography but was only half way through and hence it being bitter sweat. Hope others can do as good as you do in "their turn"s.

Daarna volgen nog twee ontroerende hoofdstukken over zijn zoon Jordi. Other editions. But who was Cruyff actually; the man who was dubbed the European Pele was aptly described as a great thinker of the beautiful game. My Turn Johan Cruyff is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history. Total Football burst into the popular consciousness with the Dutch national team at the World Cup led by Johan Cruyff. Several of the chapters, and in particular the last, include long rambling text of a quality much lower than the rest of the book. Whilst playing the US Johan Cruyff learnt and he got to experience how the players were managed in the US by the North American Soccer League and how players could move from one club to another, compared how players in the UK and European teams had contracts with the clubs..

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway).

  • Onside: a Reconsideration of Soccer's Cultural Future in the United States
    1 ONSIDE: A RECONSIDERATION OF SOCCER’S CULTURAL FUTURE IN THE UNITED STATES Samuel R. Dockery TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 8, 2020 ___________________________________________ Matthew T. Bowers, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Supervising Professor ___________________________________________ Elizabeth L. Keating, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Samuel Reed Dockery Title: Onside: A Reconsideration of Soccer’s Cultural Future in the United States Supervising Professors: Matthew T. Bowers, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Elizabeth L. Keating, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology Throughout the course of the 20th century, professional sports have evolved to become a predominant aspect of many societies’ popular cultures. Though sports and related physical activities had existed long before 1900, the advent of industrial economies, specifically growing middle classes and ever-improving methods of communication in countries worldwide, have allowed sports to be played and followed by more people than ever before. As a result, certain games have captured the hearts and minds of so many people in such a way that a culture of following the particular sport has begun to be emphasized over the act of actually doing or performing the sport. One needs to look no further than the hours of football talk shows scheduled weekly on ESPN or the myriad of analytical articles published online and in newspapers daily for evidence of how following and talking about sports has taken on cultural priority over actually playing the sport. Defined as “hegemonic sports cultures” by University of Michigan sociologists Andrei Markovits and Steven Hellerman, these sports are the ones who dominate “a country’s emotional attachments rather than merely representing its callisthenic activities.” Soccer is the world’s game.

Achter het grote, gezamenlijke zwijgen scholen gedachten aan Carlo de Leeuw, de geboren Rotter- dammer die twintig jaar lang materiaalman was bij de club waar hij zelf ooit in het eerste speelde.

Toen de bus in de buurt van Heerenveen kwam, wou Dick Advocaat zijn mannen nog even toespreken. De trainer zou nog even zeggen… De woorden die hij wilde meegeven, bleven steken in zijn keel.
