Curriculum vitae Youth

Hendrik Johannes Cruijff was born on April 25, 1947 at 13 o'clock in the Amsterdam suburb of Weidestraat, half a kilometer from the De Meer stadium, where he played capital Ajax. He grew up in a bourgeois family, Hermanus Cornelis Cruijff's father was the owner of a grocery store, and his mother, Petronella Bernard Draaijer, helped her with her family business. From the earliest years of his life, Jopie, like his mother, used to spend his days playing street football and he was doing it so hard that he used up a pair of shoes a week. At the age of 10, he was picked up by Ajax scouts from a large group of young players. When he was 12, on July 8, 1959 his father died of a heart attack. The boy survived his father's death and claimed that he still felt his presence. The family was forced to sell the store and look for new sources of income - Johan's mother was working as a cleaning lady in Ajax. Two years later, the man responsible for maintaining the grass in the Amsterdam stadium accepted the young Cruijff for help. His task was to pour sand on the pitch after heavy rain and clogging the flag in his corners. In his spare time he played football all the time, mostly with older players. At the age of 14-15, the partners had 18-year-olds and older players, which led to the overwhelming physical rivals opposed to ever better technique. Professional career Playing in Ajax
