More quotes by Johan Cruijff

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
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
Johan Cruijff

Johan Cruijff
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
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
Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs
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
Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.
Johan Cruijff
The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football.
