The Totality of Total Football: How Ajax ruled football

What if Documentaries

Pele called football “The Beautiful Game”, Cruyff declared “winning is an important thing,” and Mourinho said “if you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank”.

Let’s forget about that last lunatic and focus more on the guy who said the second thing: Johan Cruyff. The leader of Total Football, the thoroughfare that explains the history of football tactics. This documentary hopes to explain the Totality of Total Football.
