More quotes by 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
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
Every professional golfer has a seperate coach for his drives, for approaches, for putting. In football we have one coach for 15 players. This is absurd.
Johan Cruijff
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
Johan Cruijff
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
The ball is an essential part of the game.
Johan Cruijff
Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
Johan Cruijff
For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is role model for children around the world... Messi will be the player to win the most Ballons d'Or in history. He will win five, six, seven. He is incomparable. He's in a different league.

Johan Cruijff
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
Johan Cruijff
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
He has been outstanding. [Manuel] Neuer is an extraordinary goalkeeper, who would deserve to win it.
Johan Cruijff
Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.
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.
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
If my forward arrives in a one vs one situation, I always say: 'let him work it out.' Then my players say: But we can help him!'. My reply is: First, there's a good chance you'll only run in his way, and as a second attacker you're drawing a second defender with you, and two vs two is harder than one vs one.'
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Sometimes something's got to happen before something is going to happen.
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
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.
Johan Cruijff
