Johan Cruijff
I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong
Johan Cruijff

Johan Cruijff
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.

Johan Cruijff
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Johan Cruijff
The ball is an essential part of the game.
Johan Cruijff
There’s only one moment in which you can arrive in time. If you’re not there, you’re either too early or too late.
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.

Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs
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
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
