There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Playing against 10 is harder than playing against 11 players. You know why? The team with 11 will think ok, we can take it easy now, while the team with 10 will think We really have to work hard now.

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.

It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
Johan Cruijff
Image
Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.
Johan Cruijff
Image
I can be a new Di Stefano, but I can't be a new Pelé. He is the one that goes beyond the limits of logic.
Johan Cruijff
Image
If you want to play quicker you can start running faster, but it's the ball that decides the speed of the game.
Johan Cruijff
Image
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.

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.

Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs

Image
In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.
Johan Cruijff
Image
In small space a player has to be capable of acting quickly. A good player who needs too much time can suddenly become a poor player.

The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football.
