After you've won something, you're no longer 100 percent, but 90 percent. It's like a bottle of carbonated water where the cap is removed for a short while. Afterwards there's a little less gas inside.

More quotes by Johan Cruijff
There are very few players who know what to do when they're not marked. So sometimes you tell a player: that attacker is very good, but don't mark him.
Johan Cruijff
Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can never win from you, but you can lose to them. (when asked about Ajax's chances in the 1995 Champs League final against AC Milan)
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
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
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.
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
When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average ... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you're a good player or not.
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
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
Johan Cruijff
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
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
If you have the ball, you must make the field as big as possible, and if you don't have the ball, you must make it as small as possible.
Johan Cruijff
Every advantage has its disadvantage.
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
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
He has been outstanding. [Manuel] Neuer is an extraordinary goalkeeper, who would deserve to win it.
