When he passed away from lung cancer in 2016, the whole nation of the Netherlands was in pure shock and grief for a full week. He was arguably our most famous and honored sportsman of the country post war. Beloved by just about anyone. Especially by people that support Ajax. At that club, my club he is a total legend and his presence is still felt in our style of play today. See our CL semi final run in 2019. That was Cruyff’s doing
I know plenty of people who did not like him one bit and I am Dutch (and not from Feyenoord). There were plenty of Barcelona fans feeling he same, due to his arrogance. Also because he was always into trouble and forced Willy van der Kuylen and Janvan Bevere from PSV ou of the 1974 squad. Mnd you: Van der Kuylen was probably the second best player in The Netherlands but also very modest and without a doubt Van Beveren was our best goalie. But Cruyff needed a fight. And that happened almost everywhere he went: great things on one hand but almost always with a downside and that downside meant victims...He is without a doubt the best football player we ever head for sure. He is in my top three actually. What is more amazing to me that surely the Death of Cruyff made a huge impact, but amazingly the death of Maradona was headline news for weeks and we could see documentaries about Diego even a year after his passing. NLs is one of the many footballnations in the world. It is the nr1 sport (well in winter it is probably icespeedskating).

The coolest thing about Johan Cruijf, is that he loved football, was as populair as a man could get, but decided to be with his familiy when times were tough, instead of playing the world cup. Insane lvl of intelligence. He`s the best strategic mastermind, soccer has ever seen, yet he`d throw his entire carreer in the bin, for his family. He`s living every boys and mans dream, yet he`d fcking not go to the world cup, because his family needed him. Bro just this, is legendary.
@@chotu4317 bhai I'm a messi fan too and i think he's probably the greatest in history. Messi is very clever with the ball, reads the opposition tactics very well and exploits them. But we're talking about a different matter here. Johan cruyff laid the foundation of tiki taka which another great footballler in messi took the enormous benefits culminating in 5 champions League. But cruyff is on a different level here when it comes to thinking how a whole team should play and influencing many generations of football history eg barca , spain 2010 and probably Germany 2014.
Arguably the most influential figure not only in football but in all of team sports. The idea of position-less play has been widely adopted across the world.
Ah, I don't know why but everytime I hear the name "Cruyff", I feel like something tells me the guy has a hidden talent, that there is a mystery linked with the name "Cruyff". It's inexplicable really, I've never seen him play but have watched his goals in TH-cam. Extra-ordinary footballer and a genius! He played Football and used to make it look so easy. It's definitely sad that the Netherlands couldn't win the World Cup. They definitely deserved it. I pray that he is happy in heaven. The name "Cruyff" will always be in our hearts and minds. Long Live the Legend!
@@AJ-lh4fp He is the most childish out of all the legends of football. Yes he is the Great Pelé, but every time someone overtakes a record of his own, he has to lie about everything. Ex : When Cristiano beat his record of goals, he added to his bio a random amount of goals. Another example is when people compared Messi to him. He said : Start by deciding who's better between Messi and Maradona and then compare them to me. Another example of him being childish is when he criticized players for scoring pens. "scoring a pen is a lame way to score". And every two months, his opinion changes about everything. Therefore, Pelé is a fraud.

I started loving football in 2013, seeing iniesta Xavi Messi play tiki taka makes me feel good then I came to know that Cruyyf has invented all these , I really admire him , forever in hearts ❤️🥺 , Johann
O yes, believe me Cruyff really was as good as they say he was. I first became aware of his genius back in 1971 when I watched him help Ajax beat Panathanaikos in the European Cup Final at Wembley. After that game I knew I had witnessed something truly extraordinary.
Damn, I dont get how Penaldo even got 5 ballon D'ors to begin with😭😭😭 During my 6 months of watching soccer i've never seen anyone so overrated and gay😂😂🤣
Next video for old school: gerd muller player with so much goals and the only player in the history of football to win UCL, world Cup, ballan do'r and a European golden Boot in his career so this is enough to make a video on him
In present day football there are several players that can match his technical skills. But unlike your average superstar, he made the other players on his team perform way above their normal ability. That's what was special about him.
well you can only really compare him to messi because he was more of a playmaker but someone like haaland lukaku or ronaldo are main st and are their to finish those playmakers passes.
Great video true words about Johan Cryuff he's still one of the most underrated but his Legacy as a footballer and as a coach is incomparable, as a player he was technical & tactical, the father of modern Football, Gracies Johan Cryuff 👑🙏🔵🔴🇳🇱⚽❤️

Netherlands never fails to impress the world by giving birth to ICONS AND LEGENDS. Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Bergkamp,... and still counting...
He'll always be part of my Top 5 players of all time. Messi, Pele, Cristiano, Maradona, and Cruyff. They are pretty much interchangeable in terms of ranking.
I respect your ranking! It is similar to mine: 1. Messi 2. Pele 3. Cristiano 4. Di Stefano 5. Maradona 6. Cruyff Although for me, the others can't interchange with the top 2
@@AdvocateSpirit Anyone who does not put Maradona in a top Three has never seen him play, does not understand football or is English. Messi and Ronaldo do not come even remotely close to what he did.
@@jaysimoes3705 Well I'm British*, which is bad enough lol but I have hardly seen full matches of Maradona. I have mainly seen several documentaries, unlimited highlights and countless testimonies from those that played with and against him and journalists, coaches, etc.. The Golden Boy will always be an amazing footballer. Remember we're discussing him as 5th or 3th of all time so there's no disrespect here. Maradona, in my opinion, reached a higher peak than Cristiano Ronaldo but for how long? I say Maradona at Olympian level (legendary) is 1985-1989. Cristiano Ronaldo was Olympian from 2010 - 2018. That's double bro. Maradona (unfortunately) missed two entire years of football at age 30. *Imagine that?* Imagine how many marks we'd deduct from Messi or Ronaldo if they had 2 years of nothing. Initially Maradona was my #1-2 with Pele. It took decades for Messi, Ronaldo, Di Stefano to be seen in my eyes as even coming close but they deserve it. Their dedication, success and talent combined to take them over him ever so slightly. If you had to pick one player to play their entire career for your club and they would do everything they did in their career at your club, would you sign *Maradona or Cristiano Ronaldo?*
@@AdvocateSpirit You ever heard about Napoli? Pretty much answers your question. Maradona is a God in Naples, and there is a reason for that my friend.
What amazes me is how a guy so skinny went on to win multiple CL, ballon do'rs, play in WC final and revolutionize football, with current top managers still following his approach.
He is a football philosopher, he is a legend. His impact and influence for the football world is bigger than the biggest, those disrespect him are the crazy Madrid fan girls, not a real football fan. Shame on you

Cruyff only played a friendly game in the current Ajax stadium that is currently named after him. Ajax played in de Meer stadium and their bigger games in the Olympic Stadium until 1996. The editing could have been done better in that aspect.
He stood at the cradle of the current ajax team to. He was the one who said things needed to change a couple of years ago. Of course a lot of other players, managers and coaches are of great influence but ajax at this moment is there because of cruyfs influence. He would love where ajax is heading and where they are now
He had the start up and the speed .He is the creator of modern game. He made football collective and easy with ball possession and playing back and ahead .Thank you mister Cruyff .
Wrong stadium in the clip. Cruijff was born five minutes from stadium De Meer in the Watergraafsmeer quarter of Amsterdam East, the former home of Ajax. The stadium shown in the clip is the Johan Cruijff ArenA, formerly known as Amsterdam ArenA, in Amsterdam Bijlmermeer where Ajax moved to in 1996 after its opening.
Once Cruyff said there is a difference between a great footballer and great goal scorer that is why Franz Beckenbauer is above Gerd Muller (The goalscoring machine)
The Ajax stadium at the time of Johan's youth was De Meer. The one you showed in the video at 0:36 is the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax home since 1996 I believe.

Johan Cruyff is actually underrated. He invented modern football. He had flair like no other. He smoked which makes it even more impressive. Doesn’t get half the credit he deserves. RIP CRUYFF
Its worth looking into the dutch league in the 70's. Especially players like Van Hanegem or Neeskens, that was a time where the dutch league was probably the most competetive and brimmed with quality in the world

He's all of this and more. Magician,Artist,Wonderful. If he plays today he would have 5 Ballons D'or and 5 Golden Shoes. No doubt. Very close to Leo. I have him in Ajax in fifa 13. I saw Cruyff Golazzo card😀
Nobody comes close to what Cruyff did as a footballer. He revived Barcelona as a club and made them stand up to Franco's regime, he was the face of a European dominant Ajax and he invented a play style that's still considered to be Barca's and Ajax' foundation. Meanwhile, many top tier managers say they owe everything to Cruyff and even current legends like Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and others say they'd never be the same without Cruyff. He's top 5-10 in terms of sheer quality, top 1 in terms of influence on the game. Nobody will ever come close to what he did for the sport.
Of course not even to think about it.Cruyff was a nightmare for defenders that time he brought the total football and 2 world cup final he was just unlucky.Simply the best would rate in top 5 of best players the sport has ever seen
Damn, I dont get how Penaldo even got 5 ballon D'ors to begin with😭😭😭 During my 6 months of watching soccer i've never seen anyone so overrated and gay😂😂🤣
Cruyff was a master at the utilization of space. Calling him the God of Tiki taka isnt just an anachronism it is also a very narrow and barcalona point of view.
One of the greatest player and coach of all time . He had influences on both Barca and Ajax .His legacy is the main reason why Barca won 5 cls . Hope he is in peace on heaven .

Johan Cruyff is my favorite player his legend stays in my mind
And u can’t spell his last name correctly 🤦🏾♂️
@@TheSatiric lol
The coolest thing about Johan Cruijf, is that he loved football, was as populair as a man could get, but decided to be with his familiy when times were tough, instead of playing the world cup.
Insane lvl of intelligence.
He`s the best strategic mastermind, soccer has ever seen, yet he`d throw his entire carreer in the bin, for his family.
He`s living every boys and mans dream, yet he`d fcking not go to the world cup, because his family needed him.
Bro just this, is legendary.
He didn't play the World Cup because all the Adidas sponsor money was going to the hands of the Dutch FA
“He was arguably the Smartest Footballer in history “ perfectly describes him
there was no argument...he was and still the smartest footballer in history
Messi says hii...man is the Einstein of football
@@chotu4317 bhai I'm a messi fan too and i think he's probably the greatest in history. Messi is very clever with the ball, reads the opposition tactics very well and exploits them. But we're talking about a different matter here. Johan cruyff laid the foundation of tiki taka which another great footballler in messi took the enormous benefits culminating in 5 champions League. But cruyff is on a different level here when it comes to thinking how a whole team should play and influencing many generations of football history eg barca , spain 2010 and probably Germany 2014.
Johan Cruyff was a genius
Arguably the most influential figure not only in football but in all of team sports. The idea of position-less play has been widely adopted across the world.
Ah, I don't know why but everytime I hear the name "Cruyff", I feel like something tells me the guy has a hidden talent, that there is a mystery linked with the name "Cruyff". It's inexplicable really, I've never seen him play but have watched his goals in TH-cam. Extra-ordinary footballer and a genius! He played Football and used to make it look so easy. It's definitely sad that the Netherlands couldn't win the World Cup. They definitely deserved it. I pray that he is happy in heaven. The name "Cruyff" will always be in our hearts and minds. Long Live the Legend!
I always Feel he is underrated
He should be mentioned with the likes of Maradona,Pele,De Stefano
Yeah agree
@@cosmicreaperyt3818 He is mentioned with the likes of those names. Especially in the Netherlands it was Maradonna or Cruyff
did u just try to sneak Di Stefano in the goat debate ? Lol
@@Wookie2e quite a lot of people think he is best ever, i mean he played way to early to be well remembered by younger generations
@@Wookie2e I just think De Stefano was great of his generation
The most influential player and manager in football and would imo be the GOAT if Holland had won the World Cup 74 & 78.
true. he is better than the fraud pelé
@@massi5417 just respect 2 legends bro really not that hard
@@AJ-lh4fp dude what
@@massi5417 you called pele a "fraud"
@@AJ-lh4fp He is the most childish out of all the legends of football. Yes he is the Great Pelé, but every time someone overtakes a record of his own, he has to lie about everything. Ex : When Cristiano beat his record of goals, he added to his bio a random amount of goals. Another example is when people compared Messi to him. He said : Start by deciding who's better between Messi and Maradona and then compare them to me. Another example of him being childish is when he criticized players for scoring pens. "scoring a pen is a lame way to score". And every two months, his opinion changes about everything. Therefore, Pelé is a fraud.
One of the most underrated player in history regardless of how recognizable he is.
Watch videos of him play. He's not just good for his time, he's good in general.

O yes, believe me Cruyff really was as good as they say he was. I first became aware of his genius back in 1971 when I watched him help Ajax beat Panathanaikos in the European Cup Final at Wembley. After that game I knew I had witnessed something truly extraordinary.

Next video for old school: gerd muller player with so much goals and the only player in the history of football to win UCL, world Cup, ballan do'r and a European golden Boot in his career so this is enough to make a video on him
In present day football there are several players that can match his technical skills. But unlike your average superstar, he made the other players on his team perform way above their normal ability. That's what was special about him.
Can you tell me which player of today's except Messi can match his technical ability?
Unpopular opinion-Cruyff was far better than any modern player
Both as a player and a coach
Agreed

Yea pretty much actually , hes probably smarter than messi or any playmaker these days
*fact
well you can only really compare him to messi because he was more of a playmaker but someone like haaland lukaku or ronaldo are main st and are their to finish those playmakers passes.
In 2094 there will be a video " how good was messi and ronaldo" I come from the future
Ok buddy
K then
Great video true words about Johan Cryuff he's still one of the most underrated but his Legacy as a footballer and as a coach is incomparable, as a player he was technical & tactical, the father of modern Football, Gracies Johan Cryuff 👑🙏🔵🔴🇳🇱⚽❤️

For me the best footballer and football influencer ever.
Extraordinary Skills + Brains = Cruyff
not just a player,or manager but the whole football
Netherlands never fails to impress the world by giving birth to ICONS AND LEGENDS.

He'll always be part of my Top 5 players of all time. Messi, Pele, Cristiano, Maradona, and Cruyff. They are pretty much interchangeable in terms of ranking.
I respect your ranking! It is similar to mine:
1. Messi
2. Pele
3. Cristiano
4. Di Stefano
5. Maradona
6. Cruyff
Although for me, the others can't interchange with the top 2
@@AdvocateSpirit Oh wow, we're actually pretty close actually, My 6 was Di Stefano.
@@AdvocateSpirit Anyone who does not put Maradona in a top Three has never seen him play, does not understand football or is English. Messi and Ronaldo do not come even remotely close to what he did.
@@jaysimoes3705 Well I'm British*, which is bad enough lol but I have hardly seen full matches of Maradona. I have mainly seen several documentaries, unlimited highlights and countless testimonies from those that played with and against him and journalists, coaches, etc..
The Golden Boy will always be an amazing footballer. Remember we're discussing him as 5th or 3th of all time so there's no disrespect here.
Maradona, in my opinion, reached a higher peak than Cristiano Ronaldo but for how long? I say Maradona at Olympian level (legendary) is 1985-1989. Cristiano Ronaldo was Olympian from 2010 - 2018. That's double bro.
Maradona (unfortunately) missed two entire years of football at age 30. *Imagine that?* Imagine how many marks we'd deduct from Messi or Ronaldo if they had 2 years of nothing.
Initially Maradona was my #1-2 with Pele. It took decades for Messi, Ronaldo, Di Stefano to be seen in my eyes as even coming close but they deserve it. Their dedication, success and talent combined to take them over him ever so slightly.
If you had to pick one player to play their entire career for your club and they would do everything they did in their career at your club, would you sign *Maradona or Cristiano Ronaldo?*
@@AdvocateSpirit You ever heard about Napoli? Pretty much answers your question. Maradona is a God in Naples, and there is a reason for that my friend.

What amazes me is how a guy so skinny went on to win multiple CL, ballon do'rs, play in WC final and revolutionize football, with current top managers still following his approach.

He doesnt need worldcup to become one of the best player of all time
Cruyff only played a friendly game in the current Ajax stadium that is currently named after him. Ajax played in de Meer stadium and their bigger games in the Olympic Stadium until 1996.
The editing could have been done better in that aspect.
... and Ajax won 3 consecutive European cups from 1971-1973, not from 1970-1973, because Feyenoord won the 1970 cup.
He stood at the cradle of the current ajax team to. He was the one who said things needed to change a couple of years ago. Of course a lot of other players, managers and coaches are of great influence but ajax at this moment is there because of cruyfs influence. He would love where ajax is heading and where they are now
He had the start up and the speed .He is the creator of modern game. He made football collective and easy with ball possession and playing back and ahead .Thank you mister Cruyff .
Take a bow to the father of modern football
I don't know why I feel , Cruyyf is the greatest of all time ❤👊

What a player! A real Legend and rare complete. Tactical perhaps the best ever!
He lived close to stadion de Meer which was ajax’ stadium back then. The Amsterdam ArenA (now Johan Cruyff ArenA) was only opened in 1996.
RIP legend never forgotten
Wrong stadium in the clip. Cruijff was born five minutes from stadium De Meer in the Watergraafsmeer quarter of Amsterdam East, the former home of Ajax. The stadium shown in the clip is the Johan Cruijff ArenA, formerly known as Amsterdam ArenA, in Amsterdam Bijlmermeer where Ajax moved to in 1996 after its opening.
Once Cruyff said there is a difference between a great footballer and great goal scorer that is why Franz Beckenbauer is above Gerd Muller (The goalscoring machine)
The Ajax stadium at the time of Johan's youth was De Meer. The one you showed in the video at 0:36 is the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax home since 1996 I believe.
One of the most underrated players ever
For someone that barely watch him hes probably underrated , but for his fans , hes definitely the best ever

When there's a "turn" named after him, you know he's on to something.
Thumbnail is DOPE af😎😎😎😱
Cruyff is like einstein in football
his barca format was unstoppable
Nobody comes close to what Cruyff did as a footballer. He revived Barcelona as a club and made them stand up to Franco's regime, he was the face of a European dominant Ajax and he invented a play style that's still considered to be Barca's and Ajax' foundation. Meanwhile, many top tier managers say they owe everything to Cruyff and even current legends like Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and others say they'd never be the same without Cruyff. He's top 5-10 in terms of sheer quality, top 1 in terms of influence on the game. Nobody will ever come close to what he did for the sport.
Of course not even to think about it.Cruyff was a nightmare for defenders that time he brought the total football and 2 world cup final he was just unlucky.Simply the best would rate in top 5 of best players the sport has ever seen
