Football legend Johan Cruyff lost his battle with a serious illness. Former Dutch national team and Barcelona coach and player, who was diagnosed with lung cancer, died on Thursday. He was 68 years old.
In life, J. Cruyff was a witty person, a good media communicator, so we present eleven of the wittiest Dutch quotes and thoughts about football and about oneself.
- Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is devilishly difficult.
- There is only one ball in the game, and it must be with you.
- The quality of the game without a result is completely unnecessary. But the result without quality play is a boring thing.
- If I wanted to be understood, I would definitely explain everything better.
- How is it impossible for my team to beat wealthier clubs? Well, you know, I have never seen a money bag score goals.
- Every mistake has its advantages.
- If I started running towards the goal earlier than others, it will look like I am faster than the others.
- Technique is not the ability to juggle the ball a thousand times with your foot. Anyone can do it with practice. And then play in the circus.
- If you can't win, do everything not to lose.
- It is the duty of each of us in the game to make sure that the ball is received by the opponent's worst player. Then we will always be able to quickly get the ball back to ourselves.
- In a way, most likely, I am immortal.
