Cruijff did a lot more than that, no the manager Michels invented total football, you have to understand that even in the Netherlands football players were still usually working class boys that got a lucky break with their talent, and subsequently had to do as they were told by their employer and be grateful. Footballers didn't make that much money yet, most would have to live modestly and save to buy a tobacco or sport shoe shop after their career to live off. Cruijff was like a union leader in getting the national football association to share the income with the players. He had a very big mouth and was quite eloquent in his own special way. It was about the emancipation of the football player but also about being savvy with commerce in general. Cruijff also introduced car lease to the Netherlands, because as a sharply dressed football star he would be a great promotion for the Citroen brand. He got the Maserati engined top model to drive and Citroen did the maintenance, but that didn't exist yet in the Netherlands. All cars were bought so they had to invent the car lease contract first to then cut him a great deal for a beautiful car.

Cruyff is top 5ever, he was a king,in 2-3 statistic metrics in the same level then Messi(Playmaking and passing in the final third of the pitch),he had amazing vision too... Football is not just about goals and assists, miedfileders and defensive miedfileders are most important players in a team.(Xavi, Iniesta,Modric,Kross, Busquets,Zidane, Cruyff and Messi offcorse 😄, he is all.. Miedfileder,Playmaker, Dribbler, Attacker,that's why he is the greatest if all time .. not just becose he has most trophies and most goalcontributions in football 😉

Messi and Zidane were never midfielders, they were forwards. Number 10 usually is not a midfielder, they are the ones organizing and creating the attacks between the midfield and attack. When is time for defence they usually dont come back to help like the others you said.

At the moment it is clear...Clubs have signed contracts and the player must have what the club has signed...but today it's € B for the clubs...and the player has it in his contract yes Johan was a great player, probably the same way you in the US currently recognize Messi, you have to understand that football is not just about goals, look at Toni Kroos.
