JOHAN CRUIJFF QUOTES

“Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.”

“You have to shoot, otherwise you can’t score.”

“Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.”

“Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring.”

“In my teams, the goalkeeper is the first attacker and the striker is the first defender.”

“If I wanted you to understand it, I would have explained it better.”

“Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than others, I appear faster.”

“Every disadvantage has its advantage.”

“Football is a simple game. It’s twenty-two players chasing a ball for ninety minutes, and in the end, the Germans always win.” “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 whether you’re a good player or not.”

“If one day I’m asked to go and manage Barcelona, it’s because I’m Barcelona.”

“I’ve always said that if you pass the ball 10 times before scoring a goal, it’s useless. But if you pass the ball once and score, it’s super effective.”

“I think it’s terrible when someone takes easy, ordinary chances. Football is about doing things in style and with a flourish.” HUSBAND QUOTES TAMIL

“Before I make a mistake, I don’t make that mistake.”

“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.”

“You can’t do anything with a baton if you don’t have people who can run”

“The most difficult thing in soccer is to score a goal. It’s easy to miss, it’s very easy, especially when you’re helping the opposing team.”

“I’ve never seen a bag of money score a goal.”

“Choose the best player for every position, and you’ll end up not with a strong XI, but with 11 strong 1’s.”

“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.”

“If I had to choose between dribbling past five players and scoring from 40 yards at Anfield or shagging Miss World, it’d be a hard choice. Thankfully, I’ve done both.”

“There is only one ball, so you need to have it.”

“Playing football is like making love—one mistake and you’re in trouble.”
