Diagnosed with lung cancer legendary J.Cruyff

Legendary "Barcelona" player and coach Johan Cruyff will once again have to fight with illness.

In 1991, when the Dutchman was working with the Catalan team, he underwent a heart bypass operation.

Now, the 68-year-old football icon has received a doctor's diagnosis - lung cancer.

This information was also confirmed by a representative of the "Barcelona" team.

From a young age, J. Cruyff, who smoked heavily, was reportedly smoking up to 20 cigarettes a day in the last decade of the past century.

It is claimed that later, convinced by doctors and facing health problems, he quit smoking and participated in anti-smoking campaigns.
