Johan Cruijff Quotes

The fun part of golf is the variety of shots. In football you can do anything with a ball, but you can do anything with a golf ball as well. When you hit a shot and the ball does exactly what you want it to do... that’s wonderful. It’s just great when you hit the ball well. You should always try not to make the ball cry Picture Quote #1

The most difficult thing about an easy match is to make a weak opponent play bad football Picture Quote #1

Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster Picture Quote #1

It’s all very simple: if you score one more than your opponent, you win Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t make a lot of mistakes, because it’s hard for me to be wrong Picture Quote #1

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise Picture Quote #1

Football is simple. You are in time or too late. When you are too late, you should start sooner Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We must make sure their worst players get the ball the most. You’ll get it back in no time Picture Quote #1

I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked Picture Quote #1

Players that aren’t true leaders but try to be, always bash other players after a mistake. True leaders on the pitch already assume others will make mistakes Picture Quote #1

What is speed? The sports press often confuses speed with insight. See, if I start running slightly earlier than someone else, I seem faster Picture Quote #1

When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you’re a good player or not Picture Quote #1

After you’ve won something, you’re no longer 100 percent, but 90 percent. It’s like a bottle of carbonated water where the cap is removed for a short while. Afterwards there’s a little less gas inside Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There are very few players who know what to do when they’re not marked. So sometimes you tell a player: that attacker is very good, but don’t mark him Picture Quote #1

It is better to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man’s vision Picture Quote #1

Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake Picture Quote #1

To play well, you need good players, but a good player almost always has the problem of a lack of efficiency. He always wants to do things prettier than strictly necessary Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
