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.

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.

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.

Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.
Johan Cruijff
Image
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
Johan Cruijff
Image
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.
