Johan Cruyff vs Independiente - 1972 Intercontinental Cup

Extraordinary talent, ambidextrous, powerful and elegant at the same time, although he did not cover a well-defined role, he could be considered a maneuvering center forward or playmaker, who combined exceptional reach speed with superfine technique, dealing at the same time with both setting of the maneuver and its finalization. Impregnable for every defender when he started ball and chain, especially in the first 5 meters of shooting, he was equipped with a lightning dribbling and constantly changed position on the pitch, carrying his marker behind him. Super Ajax who wins the Intercontinental is full of champions, but he, Johan Cruijff, rises above all of them by a notch, overwhelming the Argentines with his class and his eclecticism. Center forward in the first leg, left wing in the return: what a show!
