More quotes by Johan Cruijff
There is only one ball, so you need to have it.
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
Every professional golfer has a seperate coach for his drives, for approaches, for putting. In football we have one coach for 15 players. This is absurd.
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
I still have a lot of room for improvement.
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
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
When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.
Johan Cruijff
I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.
Johan Cruijff
Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.
Johan Cruijff
In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
Johan Cruijff
Sometimes something's got to happen before something is going to happen.
Johan Cruijff
YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.
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 advantage has its disadvantage.
Johan Cruijff
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Johan Cruijff
It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.
Johan Cruijff
Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal.
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.
