Why hello and goodbye

Johan Cruyff

After only two weeks back at Ajax, Holland legend Johan Cruyff has taken his ball and gone home.  The 60 year old seems to have a major difference in opinion with incoming manager Marco Van Basten over the importance of the club’s youth development, something Cruyff deemed highly important to future objectives.

Cruyff told the Dutch media on Friday: “I wanted youth training to be a priority and to be carried out as a matter of importance.

“I outlined my objectives clearly but my vision is not shared by the people who must carry it out.”

This will be something to keep on eye on since the relationships between players past and present has always been a sticking point in Holland.
