Zitat des Tages von Johan Cruyff:
Coincidence is logical.
Football should never be a worry. It should be exciting. When a child plays football outside, he doesn't need to worry. Professionals should be the same.
Van Gaal has a good vision of football, but it is not mine. He wants to gel winning teams and has a militaristic way of working with his tactics. I want individuals to think for themselves.
Ajax was spending too much money; they were buying players that were too expensive. If you get 100 per cent, you can't spend 120 per cent. It's quite easy.
If you look at other countries, you see they have different values: defend more, pass the ball out more, winning is holy. In England, you could say that sport itself is holy. They say, 'Look, guys, it's about more than just winning.'
Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring.
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.
Without the ball, you can't win.
Football is now all about money. There are problems with the values within the game. This is sad because football is the most beautiful game. We can play it in the street. We can play it everywhere.
The disabled people that do sport, they don't think about what they don't have but try to get better with what they do have. That is the same for me.
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.
Coaching courses are still much too theoretical, and this is what you see reflected in the basic technical skills of the average player. I even see things deteriorating.
Every disadvantage has its advantage.
I don't want to be a thief of my own wallet.
Italians can not beat us, but we can certainly lose against them.
Sometimes something's got to happen before something is going to happen.
Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple.
The most important part are the fans, that people going home are happy. It's their time off, and you should give them something to enjoy.
To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent.
Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
This is the great crisis in football now. It's not just Rangers; it's a lot of clubs. Big clubs always create more debt despite the huge income they have. It's almost an achievement, isn't it? They make so much money, and yet, still, their debts rise and rise and rise. How does that happen? It's absurd.
If you take golf, you have a teacher for the drive, a teacher for the approach play, and a teacher for the putt. That's three specialist coaches for one player. In football, one coach looks after 25 players.
I learned my English from Keith Spurgeon. He had some small children, and I was young, too, and so we spoke the language together, and it was fantastic.
