Netherlands footballing great Johan Cruyff has died of cancer aged 68. Cruyff, who made his name as a forward with Ajax and Barcelona, was European footballer of the year three times.
荷蘭足球巨匠：約翰尼斯·亨德里庫斯·克魯伊夫因癌症逝世，享年68歲。克魯伊夫曾經是阿賈克斯隊和巴塞羅那隊的前鋒。三次獲得歐洲年度球手。

He won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax, coached Barcelona to their first European Cup triumph in 1992 and helped the Dutch reach the 1974 World Cup final, where they lost 2-1 to West Germany.
克魯伊夫在阿賈克斯隊期間，連續三年獲得歐洲盃。之後他擔任巴塞羅那隊教練，使巴塞羅那隊在1992年獲得第一個歐洲盃冠軍；此外他還帶領荷蘭隊進入1974年世界盃總決賽，雖然決賽中荷蘭隊以2-1告負西德隊。

The Dutch FA said: "Words can hardly be found for this huge loss."King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands said the country had "lost a unique and brilliant sportsman". Holland's friendly against France on Friday will stop after 14 minutes for a minute-long silence in tribute to Cruyff, who wore number 14 as a player.
荷蘭足協稱：難以用語言來形容這個巨大損失。荷蘭國王威廉·亞力山大說，荷蘭“痛失一位獨特又天才的運動員”。週五進行的荷蘭VS法國友誼賽也將在開場後的14分鐘時爲克魯伊夫默哀一分鐘，以悼念這位曾經的14號球員。

Cruyff scored 293 goals in 521 appearances for five different clubs. With his precision speed, technique and goalscoring ability, Cruyff set new standards as a player.
克魯伊夫曾加入5個足球俱樂部，在521次征戰中共打入293球。他以精準的速度、技巧和得分能力，爲運動員設立了新的標杆。

Barcelona won four consecutive La Liga titles - 1991 to 1994 - under Cruyff, who remained influential at the club after his sacking in 1995.
在克魯伊夫的帶領下，1991到1994年期間巴塞羅那連續4次獲得西甲冠軍。克魯伊夫於1995年離職，但他在巴塞羅那足球俱樂部內依舊很有影響力。

He "died peacefully in Barcelona, surrounded by his family after a hard-fought battle with cancer", according to a statement on his official website.“
在和癌症的苦戰後，他在家人的陪伴中，平靜的離開了~”，克魯伊夫官網發言人說。
巨匠雖逝，但他的傳奇故事和那些勵志名言依舊激勵着無數熱愛足球的人們，對於自己，他曾經有過這樣的評價：

"Actually, I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake."
“實際上，我從不犯錯，因爲爲了犯錯，我需要付出很大的代價。”

"I don't believe in God. In Spain, all 22 players cross themselves. If it works, the game is always going to be a tie."
“我不相信上帝。在西班牙，22名球員全部在禱告。如果真的有上帝，那比賽就會是平局了。”
克魯伊夫對足球和生活也有自己獨特又深刻的看法：

"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is."
“踢足球很容易，但把足球踢簡單卻是最難的事情。”

"Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring."
“只求質量不求結果，毫無意義。只求結果不求質量，十分枯燥。”

逝者已去，可是他的不凡和傳奇，依舊讓人驚歎。他爲荷蘭國家隊出場48次，打入33球，幫助橙衣軍團拿到1974年世界盃亞軍；世界盃決賽開場僅1分鐘，克魯伊夫就創造點球機會。在決賽告負的情況下，克魯伊夫仍然被評選爲1974年世界盃最佳球員。1999年，克魯伊夫又被國際足球歷史與統計委員會評選位歐洲最佳球員……

這些傳奇，只屬於克魯伊夫！！！讓我們共同祝願，足球巨匠在天國幸福，安好~
