Johan Cruyff feels optimistic and strong in his battle against cancer, which was detected in him in October. Through his webpage worldofjohancruyff.com, the former Dutch coach confirmed the treatment is working and the results have been good.
"After various sessions of medical treatment, today I can say the results are very positive, thanks to the excellent work of the doctors, the love of the people and my positive mentality," he wrote.
Despite knowing the fight will be long, the Dutchman used a football metaphor. "I have the sensation that I'm winning 2-0 in the first half of the game, although it's not over, but I'm sure I will end up winning."
After his lung chancer was detected, the coach preferred to step away from the media and live a more tranquil life.
