More quotes by Johan Cruijff
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
Without the ball, you can't win.
Johan Cruijff
Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.
Johan Cruijff
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
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
Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United.
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
Johan Cruijff
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
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
Johan Cruijff
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
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.
Johan Cruijff
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
Johan Cruijff
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.
Johan Cruijff
In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.
Johan Cruijff
When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.
Johan Cruijff
Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium.
Johan Cruijff
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
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
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.
