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.

More quotes by Johan Cruijff
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
Johan Cruijff
The difference between right and wrong is often not more than five metres.
Johan Cruijff
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
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
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
I'm ex-player, ex-technical director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that once again shows that everything comes to an end.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
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
When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.
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
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
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
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
If you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball
Johan Cruijff
I still have a lot of room for improvement.
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
It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.
Johan Cruijff
Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.
Johan Cruijff
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
