More quotes by Johan Cruijff
Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs
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
Often you see people who move there and then, once they have arrived, the ball moves here after which they also come here, but then the ball goes there again. I say: just stay where you are, then you are in any case at the right place half of the time.
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
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
Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.

Playing against 10 is harder than playing against 11 players. You know why? The team with 11 will think ok, we can take it easy now, while the team with 10 will think We really have to work hard now.
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
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
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
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
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
Johan Cruijff
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.
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 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
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
Johan Cruijff
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
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.
