Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
Johan Cruijff
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
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.
Johan Cruijff
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.
