More quotes by Johan Cruijff
Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs
Johan Cruijff
Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
Johan Cruijff
The hardest thing about an easy match is making a weak opponent play poor. A poor player isn't poor because he tends to kick the ball in his own goal. It's because when you put intense pressure on him, he loses control. So you have to increase the tempo of the game and he'll automatically give the ball away.
Johan Cruijff
I still have a lot of room for improvement.
Johan Cruijff
Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can never win from you, but you can lose to them. (when asked about Ajax's chances in the 1995 Champs League final against AC Milan)
Johan Cruijff
In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.
Johan Cruijff
You know I don't think there will ever be a time when the English player is not respected, and feared, across the world of football. The English footballer is very brave and strong and committed and there is always enough high-class players in his team to cause concern in any opponent. It is a national characteristic.
Johan Cruijff
Every professional golfer has a seperate coach for his drives, for approaches, for putting. In football we have one coach for 15 players. This is absurd.
Johan Cruijff
Football is simple, you're either on time, or you're too late. If you're too late then you have to leave earlier.
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
Johan Cruijff
Often you see people who move there and then, once they have arrived, the ball moves here after which they also come here, but then the ball goes there again. I say: just stay where you are, then you are in any case at the right place half of the time.
Johan Cruijff
There are very few players who know what to do when they're not marked. So sometimes you tell a player: that attacker is very good, but don't mark him.
Johan Cruijff
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
Johan Cruijff
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
Johan Cruijff
If you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball
Johan Cruijff
Players today can only shoot with their laces. I could shoot with the inside, laces, and outside of both feet. In other words, I was six times better than today's players.
Johan Cruijff
Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.
Johan Cruijff
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
Johan Cruijff
