Johan Cruyff

“Everybody could use the money, but you don't play for it - you play with your heart - and that's a big difference you see in Barcelona. Everybody wants to play there; everybody wants to enjoy themselves. It's maybe a small percentage, but maybe it's the difference.”

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

“Italians can not beat us, but we can certainly lose against them.”

“It's unbelievable. I changed the way Barcelona played. Now, Spain have had to change.”

“My generation put in a lot more hours playing football after school than kids today. These days, all the football these kids play, they play at their clubs, so the clubs need to work seriously on the basic skills.”

“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.”

“Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.”

“I always delegate. If someone is very good at something, whatever it is, he will be in charge.”

“For years, we have had many coaches in football, but there are no teachers anymore. And you see that in the play itself.”

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

“Football is a game you play with your mind.”

“Football is not about suffering. It's about enjoyment. Control the ball, be friendly with it, try to attack, try to score goals. Of course defending is part of it, but you can defend in a lot of ways.”
