Quote

One trophy is good, but two are better. That way, when a hero wears his medals on his chest, at least his steps are level as he walks by.

The ball is an essential part of the game.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Without the ball, you can't win.
Johan Cruijff
Image
I look at Messi, and he makes me laugh. A beautiful footballer who is still like a kid. A world superstar, but still a kid. Innocent, you know. He just plays.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
Johan Cruijff
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There’s only one moment in which you can arrive in time. If you’re not there, you’re either too early or too late.
Johan Cruijff
Image
If you have the ball, you must make the field as big as possible, and if you don't have the ball, you must make it as small as possible.
Johan Cruijff
Image
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

Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Johan Cruijff
Image
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
Johan Cruijff
Image
Every trainer talks about movement, about running a lot. I say don't run so much. Football is a game you play with your brain. You have to be in the right place at the right moment, not too early, not too late.
Johan Cruijff
Image
It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Surviving the first round is never my aim. Ideally, I'd be in one group with Brazil, Argentina and Germany. Then I'd have lost two rivals after the first round. That's how I think. Idealisitic.
Johan Cruijff
Image
When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.
Johan Cruijff
Image
I'm ex-player, ex-technical director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that once again shows that everything comes to an end.
Johan Cruijff
Image
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Someone who has juggled the ball in the air during a game, after which four defenders of the opponent get the time to run back, that's the player people think is great. I say he has to go to a circus.
Johan Cruijff
Image
The difference between right and wrong is often not more than five metres.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.
