I couldn't believe just how fastly elegant Johan Cruyff was. Unbelievable. He is not your typical player who you dare to challenge with. When he is on the field, he is such a professor that would teach you some demos to play simple football in an actual motion as if he's communicate to his opponents in a sense that is not a football match as it looks, but rather a football session. Impressive. Johan Cruyff is such a great legend of the beautiful game.👑⚽🏆💯✨
@@mrporsche4236 Cruijff could play in any zone. Cruijff was more of an athlete than Maradona. Cruijff was more complete. Maradona was better with his hands.
This man was still the best player in the dutch eredivisie in 1984. At age 37 he made my fav club Feyenoord , champion of The Netherlands . He didn't had the speed anymore , but he was still able to see more , than the other players AND the people in the stadium did. It was unbelievable !!! This man is a true diamond of Football.
Cruyff, not only the fastest, most technical and strategic player that ever lived. His influence on the game is still seen in football every day! European footballer of the 20th Century. Johan, R. I. P.
I can count how many times I have watched this video for many years, but this is the first time I do it with tears :'( :'( RIP Johan the best player in history
Cruyff was revolutionary. He has done more for football than anyone else. He changed how the game is played and for that i respect him very much and believes that he is on the level with maradona and pele.
“I trained for 4-6 hours a day at Ajax academy, but I also played on the streets for 4-6 hours a day. Where do you think I learned to play?” - Johan Cruyff
It’s different times but nowadays I would think every youth player signed up to any large club isn’t allowed to play street football. It may have been different in the 60’s though. We were friends with a former Rangers youth player in the mid 80’s who used to play football with us but he just kicked the ball way, he didn’t tackle or run with the ball.
I'm going to share this video a tribute.. if it's okay with you.. beatiful video and a true legend.. Can't believe he's gone. I wasn't lucky enough to see him in action but.. still.
I’m an English man, United fan. Seen Pele, Best, Maradona, Zidane, Messi and both Ronaldo 1 & 2…… no one compares to Cruiff……No one! The greatest footballer I have ever seen!
For me simply the best as a football player, coach and a philosopher....but most of all a great human being whom have given us a lot to celebrate. A great loss for football, i hope we will give him the tribute he deserves...for him joy in life and the game was the most important aspect, let's keep his spirit alive!
For me Johan Cruyff was not only very best footballer but also a great person especially as a father and as a husband. Rarely we see such harmony when a superstar who is very famous where people all around the world admire him, but Cruyff still manage and was able to keep this balance with his role as a husband for his lovely wife Danny Coster and as a father for his three children. It means that Hendrik Johannes Cruyff was truly a great man and can be a raw model for any famous football player now a days. A moment when Cruyff accepted his loss in the final of World Cup 1974 from West Germany where he greeted German players one by one and gently came to the tribune to recieve silver medal showed the world how big and charismatic he was. Again and again he told to the football fans that to win the footbal game is important but to win the football fan's heart is the most important thing. It is true, because when we remember World Cup 1974, one person stood up among the others, yes, he was Johan Cruyff, with his legendary double black strip orange jersey. Thanks Johan for made people love football because of you.
My Footballing hero and Idol. My Greatest Player of All Time. An artist on the pitch. Was devastated when he left us! RIP Johan you are... 'Simply The Best'
Thanks for watching and sharing this with other people. It's amazing to be able to show this to the rest of the world. I haven't made any new video's since my last video about Jari Litmanen got rejected on TH-cam because of copyrights. Even without any new video's I still get new subscribers. I want to thank those people and maybe... just maybe... I will try to post new stuff again!
Thank you for sharing Jeroen! I grew up playing futbol in the USA--- My coach told me about how the Dutch mastered 'total team play' or like 'clockwork'. It's been hard to find it online, so I'm glad you shared it. Gracias, ZI
RIP Johan Cruyff was one of the best football players that have existed in the world. I send much love to his family, also for all the Dutch people and all fans of The Netherlands national football team. Also for fans of Barcelona FC. Johan is and always will be a great legend of world football. From Chile, South America.
If football is what it is today, we owe it largely to this genius named Johan Cruyff. He was brilliant, not only in the technical aspect, but also the tactical aspect. He was one of the main innovative and revolutionary game, along with Rinus Michels coach in the 70's. Cruyff was the brain and the heart that unforgettable team of Holland. The player concept of no fixed position, where attackers defended and attacked defenders, was, without a doubt, the greatest revolution in the history of football. And Cruyff, as an athlete, was the greatest exponent of this concept. His influence, over the years, has proved deeper and longer lasting than that of others players considered "geniuses", such as Pelé and Maradona. It is obvious that these were also extraordinary players, but what I'm dealing with here is about the influence exercised and the impact on football. In this aspect, Cruyff is far beyond what any other player I know. In addition, he was also a prodigy on the technical side, not to mention the lead he had over his teammates on the pitch. So before we discuss about "Who was the best", we must take into account all these factors. Regarding the supremacy of Cruyff on the current players, needless to say.
No one claimed he was a tactical genius. I would be very surprised if he ever became a successful manager. Yet his play on the field is that of a creative genius; he has reached a level that has never previously been reached.
Yes, you are right. But Cruijff was a tactical genius on the field as well. He made his team members play better and more efficient. This is what sets Cruijff apart from Messi, Maradona and Pele.
Philip Monagan messi is great thanks to Barcelona, how do you think Barcelona got so great? cruijff was the coach that started tiki taka football, before cruijff barca wasn't the world class team they are now
+Michail Ros Cruyff was one of the 2 greatest with Pelé. He was a visionary general, master of total football. Next up: Messi, Ronaldo, Puskas, Zidane, Di Stefano, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Garrincha, Eusebio, C.Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Platini, Meazza, Baresi, Van Basten, Zico, Muller, Romario, Maldini, Yashin....Best certainly not in top 10- exciting but underachieved and is overrated..
+Michail Ros Very well said! I completely agree. Cruijff is the Einstein of football, who brought the great transformation by introducing the concept of total football. First with Ajax and later with the dutch national team. He is simply on another level, compared to the other greats. Maradonna himself said that he has and had never seen a better team than the "Clockwork Orange"on the world championship in Germany in 1974.
He tenido la fortuna y el inmenso honor y placer de conocer personalmente a mi ídolo de todos los tiempos Johan Cruyff. Me es imposible describir lo que sentía cuando le veía jugar tanto en el Camp Nou como en el resto de los campos de la geografía de España, pues solía desplazarme cuando el FC Barcelona jugaba en campo contrario y siempre salía satisfecho con lo que demostraba y hacia disfrutar a todos los aficionados de ambos contendientes. Personalmente he tenido algunas conversaciones con él y me asombraba todo lo que comentaba, especialmente el reglamento del fútbol que lo sabía incluso mejor que muchos colegiados de la Primera División del fútbol español y no era para nada un presuntuoso, se mostraba muy natural y muy seguro de lo que decía. Me quedaba embobado por su impresionante personalidad y por su tan humano y humilde trato con todos los que le tratábamos y eso me hacía sentir un privilegiado por estar tan cerca de mi ídolo. Un gran vacío sentí cuando nos dejó aquel fatídico día del 24 de marzo de 2016 y a pesar de los años transcurridos, sigo recordándolo y jamás lo podré olvidar mientras viva y siempre estará en lo más profundo de mi corazón ¡GRACIAS POR TODO LO QUE NOS HAS DADO Y FUE MUCHO!
I'm 62 and he is indeed the best player, together with Plel. Maradona is 2nd rate cheat, George Best was far better. Archie Gemmill's goal against Holland was far better than anything Maradona scored. I could think of a couple of Scottish players from the '60s who were should be in the top 20, Dennis Law, Jim Baxter (if only because of his keepy-upy against England), anyone of the Lisbon Lions.
fabuleux joueur mon préféré , il possède tous les coups du football mais ce qui me plait le plus c'est l'élégance dans son mouvement je n''ai jamais vu d'autre joueur comme lui, merci MR CRUIJFF.
For all i know there are 2 players who have a signature move named after them. Zidane with his Swirl and Cruijff with the Cruijff turn, both unique! Maybe Bergkamp with whatever he did against Newcastle but i dont know how to call that except from magic and for sure once in a lifetime ;) But Cruijff is the overall master of Footbal! An unforgettable legend that will live on forever with his legacy on Holland 74, Ajax, Spain and the best team Barca ever had and the best ever team in history of Footbal. All made possible by NR.14!! Love you :)
@@peterdevalk7929 Ok Peter yoi got me, hehe. It would be possible that he smoked weed though right? Weed was hip and happening in the 70s and so was cruijff... might have helped him with his extreme nerves and the pressure
O, and you must mention he smoking part..... Wonderful…… Do you drive a car? In one year more cancer into this world then a smoker in his whole life. Do you go on vacation flying? 3 hours - more cancer then a smoker in 2 lifetimes. Look at yourself!
Era un placer para los sentidos,verlo regatear y correr por el campo...que cambios de ritmo,que visión de la jugada...la elegancia vestida de futbolista.
Cruyff,one of the best in history,magnificent skills,very refined,elegant player,very intelligent,great vision,great understanding of the game,a complete player,leader,a legend
Football pornography... no dives no useless skills just an amazing talented plays one of the greatest football videos of all time Thanks a lot Johan is a GOD
Gisteren een van mijn helden verloren, stond ooit nog eens naast hem in een kledingzaak op de pc met mijn vader. We deden er alles aan om wat langer in die winkel te blijven en het werd ineens een redelijk duur bezoekje maar het was het waard. Prachtig filmpje dit!
Este vídeo es como para verlo mil veces y no cansarse, tiene una tremenda inspiración, algo inexplicable que me dan ganas de llorar de alegría por semejante talento, Johan Cruijff un artista y como no, un grande de la historia del fútbol de todos los tiempos¡¡¡ Gracias por todo
I hate living in America I always wished I grew up in Spain, Italy, or England because they keep saying football is not a sport and call it soccer SMH....This video keeps reminding me how football is so dam beautiful....RIP Johan Cryuff
top 3 of all time and the most revolucionary player in football history, the video have 14min, nice touch, great video, such amazing player, can even describe in words, respect from Brazil, genius, legend!!
os fãs do bom futebol só tem q agradecer a Deus por ter lhe colocado entre nós e depois a vc por tudo q vc colaborou pelo esporte descanse em paz q Deus lhe recebe de braços abertos e abençoe seus familiares
Voor mij is deze Nederlander... de allergrootste ever! Ronaldo, Messi, Pele... allemaal prima spelers, maar deze hier is de meest complete, hij had snelheid, inzicht, gaf prima verre passes, kon dribbelen als de beste, en op alle mogelijke manieren scoren... en was nooit egoïstisch, hij gaf de bal af als het moest... Respect voor de grootste allertijden, zegt deze Belg! Johan Cruijff, R.I.P.
Belangrijker nog: Cruijff veranderde het hele spel, bracht complete teams naar ongekende hoogten en had het charisma van een ware krijger. Grondlegger van het Barca van nu, het dominante voetbal.
My favourite player of all time, an absolute legend and giant of the game. R.I.P. still miss him now and always will. The man who made me fall in love with football.
From a Madridista, Thank you Johan Cruijff for introducing the beautiful football and the ultimate total football!! What A LEGENG!!!! ❤️❤️. Rest In Peace! And you will always be remembered.....
Criijff is the best ever. He started to play in a time that money became more important in the game and that nearly criminal tackles were allowed. He could avoid all of that because he was able to play with both feet, had an acceleration in the acceleration, could influence the speed of the game when required, outsmarted the opposite team and nearly his own team by far, thinks years ahead in terms of applicable tactics and longs term strategies to become the best of all time. When he would be a German player, he would have at least 3 world titles. He dealt also with the pressure of the political influence as a person and used his world famous brand to not only find the best players but to develop children also in their education. He is as Barcelona more than just a football team, much more than just a soccer player.
Era mi favorito, no solo por su talento, también por su personalidad, por su forma de entender el fútbol y la vida. Hoy me siento muy triste. Descanse en paz.
Greatest European forward ever and Ajax changed the idea of playing football in early 1970's. Especially old fashioned English players with mediocre ball control ability were decimated. Just like Germans those Dutch players had both skill and intellectual thinking about the game generally.
Cruyff!!!! World's best mix of power with grace, strength with elegance, skill with artistry.... Maradona and Pele are best footballers, Johan.....the best football artist!!!!
Most transformative player and manager of how game of football is played. No player had a larger impact. He created those Barca teams as a manager one of his protege was pep he was just different. As a player he often went off script drove his managers nuts got him benched frequently but no holding back his vison no player had his feel and vision for game when they say the beautiful game they are describing johan Cruyff football Whichbis absolutely glorious.
Johann Cruijff the BEST player ever of his time, he was so humble and a real engineer on the field... the heart of his teams, he did not need to win a Footbal World Championship to show his class and how he was the graetest To win a FWC is not a guarantee to be the best player in the world
Obrigado Cruijff por seu futebol fantástico, tático e ao mesmo tempo, revolucionário. O futebol mundial agradece e lamenta a perda deste ídolo do futebol holândes, europeu, mundial... Adeus, lenda. :( #JohanCruyff
De beste voetballer ter wereld en een fabelachtig mens is niet meer met ons. Wij zullen onze kinderen vertellen dat we leefde in de tijd van Johan Cruijff en hoe hij ons leven veranderde door zijn grootsheid en zijn menselijkheid. Een levende legende! We zullen je nooit vergeten...
Johan Cruyff is a god of football. Even if he was playing today his game would be evolved to modern standards easily, this is what defines a great player from just a good player. Oh yes he would still today outplay Ronaldo and Messi so easily. Pure class, he did magic with the ball before the ball becomes today's air balloon )
He simply was the first in... too much to mention. Without Cruyff there would have been no Messi, no Zidane, no Van Basten, no Bergkamp, no Henry, no Zlatan etc... and somehow he thinks it's normal. What an artist!!!
+Mark Jan van den Brink The players you mentioned; they didn't grow up watching football, they grew up playing it - without seeing Cruyff play. Everyone is a creator, everyone is an artist;)
Cruyff is amazing, no doubt about it....but your comment is an example of who is truly the most underrated of all time by his omission...and who also states Cruyff was his idol.... Michael Laudrup! Whilst he'll be forever indebted to Cruyff he was slightly better in my opinion.
![Johan Cruyff ● When Football Becomes Art [Rare Footage]](/img/n.gif)
I hate it when people compare Cruijff to God. I mean he's great, but he's not Cruijff.

Lol Too true.
Brendon Chase, Classic 10/10!!!!!
Brendon Chase Best anecdote I ever heard on Cruyff
Brendon Chase he was a bitch thats it nothing special or something maradonna was a miljon times better than him or pele
Love the fact that this video is 14 minutes long.
I totaly agree!!!
A 14 minute video is still long enough for this legend
ds37 hate the fact that it wasn’t longer.
it had to be
Once i have seen 14 likes in of the comments cheering him. Guess what? I didnt put like. I didnt want disturb him. ) RIP mr. Johan. 14
When Cruyff died, french newspaper L'Equipe wrote :
"He was the game"
Best compliment ever, for such a great player.
I couldn't believe just how fastly elegant Johan Cruyff was. Unbelievable. He is not your typical player who you dare to challenge with. When he is on the field, he is such a professor that would teach you some demos to play simple football in an actual motion as if he's communicate to his opponents in a sense that is not a football match as it looks, but rather a football session. Impressive. Johan Cruyff is such a great legend of the beautiful game.👑⚽🏆💯✨
A football session. Indeed. He knows so exactly what he is doing and is so smart and lightning fast.
For me, definitely the best player in football history. I miss him a lot
Maradona
@@mrporsche4236
Cruijff could play in any zone. Cruijff was more of an athlete than Maradona. Cruijff was more complete. Maradona was better with his hands.
Pelè
George Best
Your talking Absolutely nonsense
This man was still the best player in the dutch eredivisie in 1984. At age 37 he made my fav club Feyenoord , champion of The Netherlands . He didn't had the speed anymore , but he was still able to see more , than the other players AND the people in the stadium did. It was unbelievable !!! This man is a true diamond of Football.
Oh he did, I have seen all matches, the speed was definitely there.
People like Cruyff will not be born again.
A person of another era, forever in our hearts.
Messi....
Cruyff was not only a genius as a player, but also as a coach, which is an astounding achievement.
He understood football better than anyone else. He invented total football after all
Infinite Void He didn't invent total football, his coach Rinus Michels did while cruyff was a player.
@@FearsomeVoid Not only that, but he probably invented the best football strategy ever
Najib Chevalier Cruijff invented total football. Michels just took the credit for it.
@@FearsomeVoid
It's the exact opposite actually
Cruyff, not only the fastest, most technical and strategic player that ever lived. His influence on the game is still seen in football every day!
European footballer of the 20th Century.
Johan, R. I. P.
I can count how many times I have watched this video for many years, but this is the first time I do it with tears :'( :'( RIP Johan the best player in history
Its uncanny,how brilliant this person was,possibly the best of all time.
Cruyff was revolutionary. He has done more for football than anyone else. He changed how the game is played and for that i respect him very much and believes that he is on the level with maradona and pele.
Maradona and Pele aren't even in the same league.

A view from England … my favourite player, ever. Plus he happened to change football forever.
“I trained for 4-6 hours a day at Ajax academy, but I also played on the streets for 4-6 hours a day. Where do you think I learned to play?” - Johan Cruyff
The streets.
Same
Mooi!
It’s different times but nowadays I would think every youth player signed up to any large club isn’t allowed to play street football. It may have been different in the 60’s though. We were friends with a former Rangers youth player in the mid 80’s who used to play football with us but he just kicked the ball way, he didn’t tackle or run with the ball.
Way ahead of his time what a man. Bow down to the legend 💙
Der BESTE FUSSBALLER aus Europa. Danke Holland für diesen einzigartigen Fussballer und Mensch. Ruhe in Frieden Johan Cruiff
One of the most beautiful videos I have ever watched!! Gracias Johan!!!!
It's hard to believe. We knew it was coming but still.... Johan Cruijff is no longer with us. I'm sad....

Grew up in Spain while he was playing for Barcelona. I was 10-12 years old. What a magnificent player. My favorite player of all time. Sad news.

+Tobyn Garcia_polk Dutch. The language of Cruijff. Rust zacht = Rest in peace.
I’m an English man, United fan. Seen Pele, Best, Maradona, Zidane, Messi and both Ronaldo 1 & 2…… no one compares to Cruiff……No one!
The greatest footballer I have ever seen!
For me simply the best as a football player, coach and a philosopher....but most of all a great human being whom have given us a lot to celebrate. A great loss for football, i hope we will give him the tribute he deserves...for him joy in life and the game was the most important aspect, let's keep his spirit alive!
For me Johan Cruyff was not only very best footballer but also a great person especially as a father and as a husband. Rarely we see such harmony when a superstar who is very famous where people all around the world admire him, but Cruyff still manage and was able to keep this balance with his role as a husband for his lovely wife Danny Coster and as a father for his three children. It means that Hendrik Johannes Cruyff was truly a great man and can be a raw model for any famous football player now a days. A moment when Cruyff accepted his loss in the final of World Cup 1974 from West Germany where he greeted German players one by one and gently came to the tribune to recieve silver medal showed the world how big and charismatic he was. Again and again he told to the football fans that to win the footbal game is important but to win the football fan's heart is the most important thing. It is true, because when we remember World Cup 1974, one person stood up among the others, yes, he was Johan Cruyff, with his legendary double black strip orange jersey. Thanks Johan for made people love football because of you.
I recall a picture of Cruyff looking at the other Dutch players after losing the 74 final..it was almost iconic..
Whenever I'm depressed I just watch this video and realize life can be so beautiful. Thanks Johan.

@@wildzwaan Yeah, of the football-field! ;)
@@peterdevalk7929 Ok Peter yoi got me, hehe. It would be possible that he smoked weed though right? Weed was hip and happening in the 70s and so was cruijff... might have helped him with his extreme nerves and the pressure
O, and you must mention he smoking part..... Wonderful…… Do you drive a car? In one year more cancer into this world then a smoker in his whole life. Do you go on vacation flying? 3 hours - more cancer then a smoker in 2 lifetimes. Look at yourself!
Cruyff was a football genius for my generation of young people in the USSR.
Trust me, not only the USSR, but the whole world
1- Pelé
2- Maradona
3- Cruijff
one of the few videos in which the music is chosen impeccably and to better enjoy the beauty of Cruijff and its play. Thanks Jeroen
Era un placer para los sentidos,verlo regatear y correr por el campo...que cambios de ritmo,que visión de la jugada...la elegancia vestida de futbolista.
How can Cruyff be dead, when his turn is forever?!
+AholeAtheist ahaha I love this. Rip Cruyff
Cruyff is not dead...at last he has dribbling the Death...and kick a goal.... Cruyff 1-. Death 0
This man definitely deserved to win a world cup. No offense to Argentina but I think Netherlands would've won in 1978 if Johan would've played
Netherlands would have won the world cup even without Cruyff if Agentina had not cheated.
Toni Ramos that was against peru
Toni Ramos Argentina 3- Netherlands 1. They cheated 3 times??? ha, ha, ha
Gustavo Al and what do you mean 3 times in that tournament
***** if the rumors are true, they should have never lose the final twice in the 70's
The legends sush as Johan Cruyff never die because always stay in oyr hearts!!!
Goodbye Johan Cruyff :( !!!
We forever will remember you!!!
REST IN PEACE JOHAN CRUIJFF from Feyenoord fan
+Df Jansen Goed Johan gaat boven 020 en 010. Ajax fan

Cruyff played for Feyenoord as well and won the double.
Magnific music mix for this excellent soccer player. Thanks a lot.
Poetry in motion!
Best comment by far...

The most beautiful practitioner of the Beautiful Game
Gisteren een van mijn helden verloren, stond ooit nog eens naast hem in een kledingzaak op de pc met mijn vader.
We deden er alles aan om wat langer in die winkel te blijven en het werd ineens een redelijk duur bezoekje maar het was het waard.
Prachtig filmpje dit!
Este vídeo es como para verlo mil veces y no cansarse, tiene una tremenda inspiración, algo inexplicable que me dan ganas de llorar de alegría por semejante talento, Johan Cruijff un artista y como no, un grande de la historia del fútbol de todos los tiempos¡¡¡ Gracias por todo
I hate living in America I always wished I grew up in Spain, Italy, or England because they keep saying football is not a sport and call it soccer SMH....This video keeps reminding me how football is so dam beautiful....RIP Johan Cryuff
No problem where you born bro
top 3 of all time and the most revolucionary player in football history, the video have 14min, nice touch, great video, such amazing player, can even describe in words, respect from Brazil, genius, legend!!
can't
Élégance , such a beautiful player.
There still no words found in a dictionary, that describe the talent of this man.
Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Messi, Best, Baxter - above them all stands Cruyff. A footballer without peer.
He was magical.
Lysdexia, WOW!!! Cruijff 4 Ever!!! Absolutely Brilliant, Magical!!! "UNTOUCHABLE" & A Very Good Man!!!! Greetings from Sydney, Australia!!!
agreed but not Messi !! Messi is the greatest cruyff after him
You know it!
this is why like Cruyff above all other great soccerplayers indeed....this IS art ! Much more graceful than others...
Zidane is the greatest by far
R.I.P. my father died also last week and Cruyff was my father's favourite player...
His majesty Johan Cruyff has never been in my heart, I have always loved this incredible player
Nessuno come lui,eleganza allo stato puro
os fãs do bom futebol só tem q agradecer a Deus por ter lhe colocado entre nós e depois a vc por tudo q vc colaborou pelo esporte descanse em paz q Deus lhe recebe de braços abertos e abençoe seus familiares
Love that this is exactly 14 mins long
+tccb1833 you've got exactly 14 likes :D
+Lucas I was about to make it 15, then I realized, it's fine with 14, it's perfect with 14.
The Beautiful Game, played by the most brilliant player ever to grace a pitch. Genius.
Voor mij is deze Nederlander... de allergrootste ever! Ronaldo, Messi, Pele... allemaal prima spelers, maar deze hier is de meest complete, hij had snelheid, inzicht, gaf prima verre passes, kon dribbelen als de beste, en op alle mogelijke manieren scoren... en was nooit egoïstisch, hij gaf de bal af als het moest... Respect voor de grootste allertijden, zegt deze Belg! Johan Cruijff, R.I.P.
Dankjewel.. R.I.P. Johan de beste voetballer en coach ooit
Belangrijker nog: Cruijff veranderde het hele spel, bracht complete teams naar ongekende hoogten en had het charisma van een ware krijger. Grondlegger van het Barca van nu, het dominante voetbal.
+bastaardzmuller precies
+Patrick Vermeirsch So true! Greatest player of all time! Greetings and respect from Germany. Groeten voor het land van de laterale denkers.
***** mooi gezegd
Merci Johan from France...merci pour le foot...ta vision...et l amour du ballon rond...on ne t oubliera jamais. Ajax 4 life !!!
My favourite player of all time, an absolute legend and giant of the game. R.I.P. still miss him now and always will. The man who made me fall in love with football.
From a Madridista, Thank you Johan Cruijff for introducing the beautiful football and the ultimate total football!! What A LEGENG!!!! ❤️❤️. Rest In Peace! And you will always be remembered.....
And not one single dive...
Well said: an aspect of football that I loathe and contributes to my indifference when I think of football today.
If any current player replaced Cruijff in this video, it would be 14 minutes of them on the floor.
Criijff is the best ever. He started to play in a time that money became more important in the game and that nearly criminal tackles were allowed. He could avoid all of that because he was able to play with both feet, had an acceleration in the acceleration, could influence the speed of the game when required, outsmarted the opposite team and nearly his own team by far, thinks years ahead in terms of applicable tactics and longs term strategies to become the best of all time. When he would be a German player, he would have at least 3 world titles. He dealt also with the pressure of the political influence as a person and used his world famous brand to not only find the best players but to develop children also in their education. He is as Barcelona more than just a football team, much more than just a soccer player.
Era mi favorito, no solo por su talento, también por su personalidad, por su forma de entender el fútbol y la vida. Hoy me siento muy triste. Descanse en paz.
We love you Johan Cruijff
Greatest European forward ever and Ajax changed the idea of playing football in early 1970's. Especially old fashioned English players with mediocre ball control ability were decimated. Just like Germans those Dutch players had both skill and intellectual thinking about the game generally.
Totally right. Well, except for the 1970s bit.
Cruyff!!!! World's best mix of power with grace, strength with elegance, skill with artistry.... Maradona and Pele are best footballers, Johan.....the best football artist!!!!
Gracias por todo lo que diste al fútbol....Descansa en paz
Most transformative player and manager of how game of football is played. No player had a larger impact. He created those Barca teams as a manager one of his protege was pep he was just different. As a player he often went off script drove his managers nuts got him benched frequently but no holding back his vison no player had his feel and vision for game when they say the beautiful game they are describing johan Cruyff football Whichbis absolutely glorious.
Johann Cruijff the BEST player ever of his time, he was so humble and a real engineer on the field... the heart of his teams, he did not need to win a Footbal World Championship to show his class and how he was the graetest
To win a FWC is not a guarantee to be the best player in the world
one of the few that changed football. Rest in peace
Obrigado Cruijff por seu futebol fantástico, tático e ao mesmo tempo, revolucionário. O futebol mundial agradece e lamenta a perda deste ídolo do futebol holândes, europeu, mundial...
Adeus, lenda. :(
#JohanCruyff
De beste voetballer ter wereld en een fabelachtig mens is niet meer met ons. Wij zullen onze kinderen vertellen dat we leefde in de tijd van Johan Cruijff en hoe hij ons leven veranderde door zijn grootsheid en zijn menselijkheid. Een levende legende! We zullen je nooit vergeten...
Wow, this must be the best footballvideo i have seen. In perfect harmony/sync with the music.
Meest fascinerende voetballer ooit. Op eenzame hoogte. Waar Cruijff speelde gebeurde wat.
très grand joueur !!immense joueur !! la grande classe !!!💜 que les jeunes en prennent de la graine
Finally a football video with decent music!
Be happy people, he had a great life!
His game came to an end, his legacy is still with us!
I miss him, even so.
I remember watching cruyff as a boy in the early seventies and wanted to play like him when we played football.
Very well made video and RIP to one of worlds greatest players!
I saw this and sometimes when messi plays reminds me a bit to cruijff playing RIP Johan Cruijff ⚽master.
Great footage showing the overall skills of europe`s greatest ever player, thanks for the upload :)
Johan Cruyff is a god of football. Even if he was playing today his game would be evolved to modern standards easily, this is what defines a great player from just a good player. Oh yes he would still today outplay Ronaldo and Messi so easily. Pure class, he did magic with the ball before the ball becomes today's air balloon )
LEGEND. I'm glad i've had the changes to see him as a player, coach and human. AFCA CBS we will miss you 4 ever JC
jeez what an elegant player
Best compilation I've every seen as tribute to Johan Cruijff. Thx!
The best player in history!
He simply was the first in... too much to mention. Without Cruyff there would have been no Messi, no Zidane, no Van Basten, no Bergkamp, no Henry, no Zlatan etc... and somehow he thinks it's normal. What an artist!!!
+Mark Jan van den Brink The players you mentioned; they didn't grow up watching football, they grew up playing it - without seeing Cruyff play. Everyone is a creator, everyone is an artist;)
Cruyff is amazing, no doubt about it....but your comment is an example of who is truly the most underrated of all time by his omission...and who also states Cruyff was his idol.... Michael Laudrup! Whilst he'll be forever indebted to Cruyff he was slightly better in my opinion.
He was way ahead of his time Rest In Peace legend
