True that. Second should hands down be the duo of George Best and Bobby Charlton partnership. That created the legacy of Paul Scholes & Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo.
As far as I know he didn't invent 4-3-3. It was Rinus Michels, his Ajax and Netherlands boss, who invented it and he deployed Cruyff as the false nine.
VB MUTT wtf r u on drugs man he doesn't have half the skill of Messi when was the last time he dribbled trough a whole entire team all he does is do his fuckboy move, and what did he do as a manager he can stay in his Dutch league he had no plan there are more than ten players from Barca that are better than him
+ Cruyff Started a college in Holland called the ''Johan cruijff college'' which helped young athletes continue their school and study and play on high levels in their sports at the same time.
Johan was true Legend who didn't just change us and turned us into a powerhouse in Europe but also he has made a very huge positive impact in the world of Football, Football wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for Cruyff. R.I.P Cruyff. He will always be missed.
I think Arsene Wenger deserves a shout. He revolutionized the modern game not only with his style of football, but with his added training regimes, key focus on player nutrition and banning alcohol and smoking from players. He also he integrated the French market into the English Game.
If I had the choice between ending world hunger and seeing a mountain lion play a guitar solo the world would be fed but I would regret it forever...glad to get that off my chest
But Bailey is injured, Mata and Herrara, although underrated, are slowly phasing out, and Luke Shaw is *just* good. That leaves you with three (including de gea) definitely good players on United. Out of a whole squad. Simply put; United is overrated
say what you want about how good Cruyff was, he was no doubt one of the most intelligent footballers in history and brought in the youth systems. but, if we're talking about Total Voetball as the Dutch would call it, it all started with Rinus Michels, the genius behind Cruyff.
Johan is the greatest player and manager of all time don't care what you people think it's not about goals and personal achievements it's about influence
As a Dutchmen who loves football I can only say that I feel very honered to see Johan Cruijff be the number one on this list and most important to see it confirmed in the comments. You have players like Pelé, Maradonna, Messi, Backenbauer, George Best, Di Stefano, Ronaldo(bra) and others. Maybe if you talk about pure technic or dribbling skills, Maradona, Pele come out on top. But yes if you talk about the total package I think Cruijff has what it takes to be number one. I just hope we can produce another great generation, but on the moment it seems that the Netherlands are going to have hard times for years to come. Maybe not even to return in the top 10 or 5 of the world. I makes me feel sad to look back in the past and knowing that we had players like Cruijff, Sjaak Zwart, Van Hanegem, Neeskens, Van Basten, Gullit, Bergkamp, Van Persie, Van Nistelrooij, Van der Sar, Jaap Stam, Robben and others. After every generation I thought that the next generation would not be as good. Always I was wrong. But this time I thing it's going to be reality
Football Daily, this is a great video both entertaining and enlightening, kudos for your research. Please make more vids like these which are less flashy and give more insight about football.
Too boring of a video and the top 10 won't have changed much in recent times and it's and overly-used video anyway. I prefer top 10 lists such as this.
This is why Cruyff is bigger than Pelé and Maradona combined. Not only an technician on the pitch, but also a visionary. He revolutionised the game like no other.
I'm glad you've put Johan on the top of the list! most people prefer Pep Guardiola, Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger. And Cruyff didn't invent the 4-3-3- or 3-3-4. He invented the 3-4-3 from Rinus Michels formation: "He got a blackboard and drew three defenders, four midfielders, two out-and-out wingers and a centre-forward,” recalls Eusebio. “We looked at each other and said: ‘What the hell is this?!’ This was the era of 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. We couldn’t believe how many attackers were in the team, and how few defenders. He single-handedly introduced a new way of playing football in Spain. It was a revolution.” The 3-4-3 - adapted from the 4-3-3 Cruyff played under Rinus Michels for Ajax and Holland in the 1970s - was born.

Pele has to be in the top 3 definitely because he revived the ginga style of football (fancy skills and all that shit) when it was very highly frowned upon to use in Brazil as it was blamed for the 1950 world cup final loss. For the next 8 years everyone in Brazil played normally and staightforward and without any skills and all that shit. As a 17 year old, during the 1958 world cup, Pele tried to convince the entire Brazil squad play with the ginga style of football. Because of what they saw Pele do with the ginga style in other matches, Brazil adopted this style of play which helped a then very mediocre Brazil side defeat all odds by beating tournament favourites Sweden 5-2 in the world cup final. This style is rthe foundation of the modern game and without Pele and the ginga style of football, we wouldn't have the likes of Ronaldinho, Zidane, both Ronaldo's, Neymar and countless more. Also, the growing game of futsal derived from the ginga style of football. So, after all that, why the fuck is Pele not in this list, never mind the top 3?
Oisín Considine "because he revived the ginga style of football" You answered your own question right there. All entries in this list were the first to do or propose something. Pele did revive the ginga style but he didn't invent it. It already existed long before him. That's why he's not on the list. Now if you want to make an argument that the ginga style changed football then find out who invented that and make a case for that person to be on the list.
Imo Jose Mourinho should either be in the top 10 or at the very least an honorable mention. He literally changed the dynamic of the game in Europe at the start of 21st Century and for years some of the best Managers in Europe and the World at the time couldn't figure him out. After a fall out at Benfica with their Owner back then he took over a small club now in the Porteguese second division called UD Leiria who he steered to a 5th spot finish in the first division at the time which is their highest ever finish in the first division. He then took over FC Porto and instantly went on to win the UEFA Cup against a good Celtic team back then. A year later he shocked Europe by knocking out Sir Alex Ferguson's mighty Manchester United at Old Trafford and went all the way to the Champions League Final to face Didier Deschamps very good AS Monaco team back then and win against them in the most one sided Champions League Final since Fabio Cabello's AC Milan thrashed Johan Cryff's Barcelona dream team 4-0 in the early 90's. He then came to England and despite Arsenal going unbeaten the season before won the Premier League with ease. He then took over Inter Milan after a fall out with Roman Abramovich and took them to a treble denying Pep Guardiola's mighty a place in the Final in the Semi Finals after the two legs and as a result Inter Milan is still the only Italian team to have achieved the treble. Not even the current mighty Juventus have achieved that even after 5 seasons of dominating Italian Football. Post Inter Milan is truly where Mourinho started to lose his mojo as a Manager after 3 years of failure at Real Madrid but what he did from 2000 to 2010 was truly amazing and very muched changed Europe. If you watch one of Mourinho's documentaries, former Chelsea and West Brom Assistant/Manager Steve Clark says that Mourinho even constructed his own bible over the Summer for the 21st century game just before 21st century began.
Talia Mason I agree biggest and only change he bring to football was praising himself and PARK THE BUS(tactics which are used these by small clubs to stop LFC,Barca,B.Munich etc)
Cruyff changed football the most.
Cruyff is the greatest thing that ever happened to Barcelona...2nd is Messi and 3rd comes Pep..
Aeth true but even without Pep is still scoring goals as he used to..
that's not really true...
He was already a top player before Pep...
True that. Second should hands down be the duo of George Best and Bobby Charlton partnership. That created the legacy of Paul Scholes & Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nah. Chapman I'd say. Then the mega money Arabs. Then Cruff
R.I.P Johan Cruiff we will always miss you and we will never forget you
David Santagkidis you forgot how to spell his name
I am a simple man
I see Cruyff, I click on the video
Johan Cruyff Legend
Cruyff is the greatest thing that ever happened to Barcelona...2nd is Messi and 3rd comes Pep..
VB MUTT
KingGunnii loll he is good but not as good as some other players
Tyoma Yu He is and was the best , idiot
Tyoma Yu hahahahahhh No
how did you not include the fact that cruyff created the 4-3-3
There's a word called "forgot"... No one is perfect. >.
Bilal Iqbal football daily is not one person
As far as I know he didn't invent 4-3-3. It was Rinus Michels, his Ajax and Netherlands boss, who invented it and he deployed Cruyff as the false nine.
True 4-3-3 is the best formation on history
did i say anything to insult them? no im just saying
If Johan Cryuff isn't #1, I'm unsubbing.
i bet you watched the video first
Spoiler Alert: he is.
Nope. Just love that man.
Johan Cruyff is the greatest thing that Barcelona has ever had...2nd comes Messi and 3rd Pep..
VB MUTT wtf r u on drugs man he doesn't have half the skill of Messi when was the last time he dribbled trough a whole entire team all he does is do his fuckboy move, and what did he do as a manager he can stay in his Dutch league he had no plan there are more than ten players from Barca that are better than him
Johan cryuff died... it was a very emotional day in the stadium...
TheTruePranksterGangster yeah MSN stood silent the whole 90 minutes

R.I.P Cruyff. He will always be missed.
"Pelé was far away on Brazil."
As a brazilian, I don't know how to think about this statement. hahahaha
Jason Mc DayCent I know. But, for me, the concept of "far away" applied to Brazil sounds funny.
they are pretty anglo-centric
Yeah, I realize that. I mean, no german, no italian, no brazilian, no argentine in this list?! Quite shocking, if you ask me.
Maurício Rodrigues I agree I miss Sacchi the most ^^
Well i mean he says it in the context of being far away as opposed to George Best.
Nothing gives me more pleasure as a Cule to see our Johan Cruyff at top. It's too emotional at the moment. :)
I think Arsene Wenger deserves a shout. He revolutionized the modern game not only with his style of football, but with his added training regimes, key focus on player nutrition and banning alcohol and smoking from players. He also he integrated the French market into the English Game.
That's kinda true but IMO, I pretty much agree with this list... I'd say Arsene is just outside of the top 10... probably 11 or 12.
He basically employed Barcelona's style of play to Arsenal TBH.......
Dexter Morgan he did that in the 2007- period, before that he brought wenger ball to the English game
Aadam Mohammed LOLLLLL IM DEAD THATS SO FUNNY BEAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Arsenal fan? It's ok, atleast you tried.
