Critical to the Dutch game is the belief in instilling it in youngsters before puberty in the world-famous Ajax academy, which for decades was to football what Hogwarts is to wizardry.
Michels was joined at Barcelona by Johan Cruyff , the most sublimely gifted footballer the world had seen since Pele. Cross fertilization is a staple of a game that has become steadily globalized in recent decades.

Indeed, the earliest form of football is understood to be 'cuju' which was played in China during the Han dynasty from BC to AD. Like later forms of the game in England, cuju outlawed the use of the hands. In ancient Greece , too, a game similar to football existed which was called 'episkyros'. The name of the game means 'common ball' and it involved two teams of players with numbers comparable to football with one ball.
