More quotes by Johan Cruijff
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
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
One trophy is good, but two are better. That way, when a hero wears his medals on his chest, at least his steps are level as he walks by.
Johan Cruijff
The difference between right and wrong is often not more than five metres.
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
Every advantage has its disadvantage.

YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
Johan Cruijff
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.

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
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
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
The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football.
Johan Cruijff
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
Johan Cruijff
He has been outstanding. [Manuel] Neuer is an extraordinary goalkeeper, who would deserve to win it.
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
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
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.
