Itzo about Cruyff
 

"  Cruyff was the man that believed in me,more than anyone else,the coach that made even the impossible come true to take me from CSKA Sofia.Together we won the Spanish Championship four times in a row,the European Champions' Cup,France Football's 'Golden Ball' etc,etc.
   Cruyff was the best coach in the world but he was also the man with the most difficult character of all I have worked with.
   I am also an explosiving character,so we had to combine the things together.Everyone of us always said what he thinks and this made the dialogue between us really hard to accomplish.What can you say to a player,who has thrice won the European Champions' Cup and was thrice awarded the 'Golden Ball',a man that has achieved everything possible with teams of Ajax,Barcelona and Feyenord?
   It is very difficult to talk with him,because he is only used to giving orders and doesn't mind the advices of the rest.
   However I have always declared that I highly estimate his the character of a winner that he has.I am not ungrateful,I have always admitted that it is due to his attacking tactics and the help of my teammates that I have won my individual prizes.I have always said that there can't be a good coach without good players,or good players without a good coach."
