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.
Johan Cruijff
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.
Johan Cruijff
It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.
Johan Cruijff
