More quotes by Johan Cruijff
I'm not religious. In Spain all 22 players make the sign of the cross before they enter the pitch. If it works all matches must therefore end in a draw.
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
Italy cannot beat you but you can lose to Italy.
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
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.
Johan Cruijff
Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
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
Someone who has juggled the ball in the air during a game, after which four defenders of the opponent get the time to run back, that's the player people think is great. I say he has to go to a circus.
Johan Cruijff
Players today can only shoot with their laces. I could shoot with the inside, laces, and outside of both feet. In other words, I was six times better than today's players.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Johan Cruijff
Italians can never win from you, but you can lose to them. (when asked about Ajax's chances in the 1995 Champs League final against AC Milan)
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
Every advantage has its disadvantage.
Johan Cruijff
Sometimes something's got to happen before something is going to happen.
Johan Cruijff
Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.
Johan Cruijff
I find it terrible when talents are rejected based on computer stats. Based on the criteria at Ajax now I would have been rejected. When I was 15, I couldn't kick a ball 15 meters with my left and maybe 20 with my right. My qualities technique and vision, are not detectable by a computer.
Johan Cruijff
The difference between right and wrong is often not more than five metres.
Johan Cruijff
If you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball
