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
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.

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

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
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
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
In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.
Johan Cruijff
Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.
Johan Cruijff
Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.
Johan Cruijff
Football is simple, you're either on time, or you're too late. If you're too late then you have to leave earlier.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
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
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.
