agree with you that is why the Ajax Academy in my point of view is one of the most prestigues of all Europe. for our unfortune the Ajax fans our team dedicates to that philosophy of making players and then exporting them to other major clubs in Europe. definetly he has leave his legacy in both Barca and Ajax and he is also my idol of all times in football.
@chrisvda88 i think the support thing was basically because the dutch abandoned all of Cruyff's ideas, while Spain embraced them. If you looked at it, the dutch were playing a very dirty, very rough football, while Spain was the spitting image of Barca, and even Cruyff's Total Football. Cruyff was dissapointed that Holland abandoned his ideas, while he was proud Spain represented them
10-20 years ago us Ajax fans would dream and think out loud .. what if we could hold on to our own players, build and perfect the team, we said we would rule european footbal for years, decades maybe .. well Ajax just can't because of obvious reasons, but barcelona can and since they adopted the full Cruijff philosophy, well need i say more .. Cruijff is a god and he has made sure he will leave his legacy with Ajax and Barcelona, love him, my idol and also a great man with a good heart!
Thank you so much for the video; even the music (wich I didn't like but...) tries to demonstrate the powerful of this amazing man. Johan is the best, definitely!
what people tend to forget about Cruijff is that he was hardly ever injured. They called him in the ajax team De Spijker (The Nail) had a body of steel. Very atletic player.
@wolfnravenDX true but in effect Spain was Barcelona plus a couple of additions and Barca are in effect Cruyff's club. The single biggest influence on the Spain win in 2010 was Johann Cruyff.
croif was like messi nowdays,always have in his side top players and he just made the diference and the success was sure ,thats his diference between him ,best,maradona and other legends,with the most recent once ibrahimovic rooney
Cruyff has a good argument for being the best player ever, he was everything a footballer should be. so complete with excellent vision & a great winning mentality... Pele & Maradona were on the same level but I wouldn`t say they were better & no player playing today is as good & I include Messi in that.
@juancav510 Exactly. He changed football. Changed it forever. Barcelona would't be able to play like they do now if it wasn't for Cruyff and total football. Forty years later and still every new tactical invention in football finds its origins in the Dutch and Ajax sides of the early seventies.
What a player he was...he had complete mastery of the ball and made it do the talking. Perfect balance as a player, and supremely confident. Messi for me is the greatest player to have played the game, but Johann Cruyff is not far behind.
@chrisvda88 Amen I guess its just an ideals thing, after all, he basically founded modern Barcelona, so i can see where his loyalty would be. Heck, id be pissed if i was dutch and he said what he said, but i can see why he did it.
@chrisvda88 I'm Dutch too and I agreed with Cruyff, though after the final it was kind of me against the rest, but I also didn't like our conduct in the final. I know it's sometimes better to win ugly than to always lose pretty, but I still tend to feel we didn't maximize the ability of some players because of how we played. But it made our defense stronger, yes. Hmmm.. I guess the ideals of Cruyff are more important to him than just titles...
So under-rated. Im not even a big fan but concede how much better he was than pele, maradona and messi. If only a WC was in the cards for him. He would then have got his validated title as arguably the greatest
Its not even about wether Messi or Maradonna is better than Cruijff or not. In the end thats down to personal preference, they are so close in quality. Cruijff is getting more famous as a football philosopher, a genius that is leaving his proven legacy by what Barca is doing. Based on Cruijffs ideas. And now he's back at Ajax, correcting the mistakes in policy and the way the youth is to be developed. Ajax fans can never thank him enough for that!!
Johan Cruyff said years before the world Championships that van Bommel isn't good enough for the Dutch team, same thing for De Jong. Every clown could have brought Holland to the finals of the worldcup, the coach they got right now just pretty much sucks, but a bunch of players are simply so good he still doesn't fail.
yes I noticed that and was amazed...OK, he may not have liked the way Holland played in 2010 but he's Dutch, not Spanish, and should have supported Holland
@ftlptba i think if we won a world cup he would be up there with maradona and pele. thats what makes players famous, winning the world cup. if messi doesnt win a world cup by the end of his career and somebody else in the future with extrordinary skill wins it they will be more remembered then messi
A computer analysis of players during game time to determine who controlled the game the most rated Johan the most impactful player of all time, I read.
@unrealsbitch weed is "sortof legalized" here in holland. That does not mean many dutch people use it. In fact since its not "underground" here, many people aren't interested anymore. It's the foreigners that get all excited about weed.
@crps3ESA your jooking right?... This guy made teams, and won everything with every team he was in, messi was always in barca iwth a teams that haves the same base for years now and it this guy who made this base
@Gerttervill1 i dont care about world cups so much but for the teams they play,messi is the best by far nowdays but i havent watched all the old players playing every week so i cant have an opinion for them ,messi doesnt have extraodinary skills messi has something that as long as i live never a footballer had ,not even ronaldo and zidane
If there is one thing i learned is that Cruijff is usually if not always right, so he was in his crtisiscm of Ajax and also the Dutch team. Van Marwijk is a good coach but he lacks the brilliant insight that a person like Cruijff has.And i don't like his conservative approach, sure we get reults but who wouldn't with players like van persie, robben, etc etc ... i just want to see 1 change, replace 1 def midf by an attacking one (van der vaart) it will make all the difference.
@crps3ESA Dude, Messi wouldnt be nothing if not fro Cruyff... Cruyff is the cornerstone of all the foundations Messi has, WAY more than Maradona Cruyff IS Barcelona!
@chrisvda88 I can see you have no idea about footbol he was the best as a player and as a couch if u say that he talks to much .... your just fucking crazy the barsa tactics and the background and how barsa plays is because guardiola was going to cruyff house to get helped. a fucking god of footbol never speecks to much... he was god in that time and he is a god right know CRUYFFF THE BESTTTTT
Cruijff is the best, actually ridiculous that on most polls he's third after Pele, Maradonna. Pure bullshit, if you look at this video. The 'completeness' of his skills is ridiculous. Goal scoring, passing, dribbling, awareness of all the players around him, philosophy, leadership. No player can match him if those skills are important to be the best (and they are)
this video currently has 69 likes kinda reminds me of somethin lol and honestly watchin cruyff play football is better than watchin hd porn well not really but u guys got the picture.
Messi is nice, but he is nothing but a shuffling little freak compared to this graceful genius. If slide tackles were still allowed, Messi would never do a single thing. He repeats the same actions with training ground technique. Real players could improvise. If they bring back a leather football - then you will see the truth.
@ftlptba maradona and pele? messi is good but he lacks leadership. he lacks agression. he is just as good as maradona, if not better, the only difference is that maradona was agressive, the captain of argentinas national team, and wona world cup and runner up to a world cup with argentina. messi didnt even score a goal. look up maradona, he won the champions legue with napoli, a tiny italian team, while messi won with barcelona, a football giant.
@crps3ESA lack of competition as in there's no one to compete with him for the best of the world prize, i mean. and lol, you clearly don't know much about football history.
+Moncho1234 For me.. This guy is the best.. Yes Maradona maybe win in technique and goal and trophies.. But this man create Total Football which is phylosophy of Barcelona today..
@ideasfaltan Well, you 're misinformed. Messi is fantastic but he is not quite where Pelé, Cruyff and Maradona were. Maradona made mediocre teams world class. Cruyff put a whole footballing nation on the map.
I can't really express what a great video this is. Awesome footage and well put together. Thanks for highlighting one of the all time greats!

he's one of my favorites :)
I love his trademark move

RIP... fantastic player
Best footballer ever !
Awesome.

alot of people seem not to realise that the football of johan cruyff and others, maradona for example gave birth to the modern football we watch today
great song
Johan Cruijff is the founder of Barcelona's current football style, the best football ever played.
great vid. great player.
He's the best european player ever, Amazing
RIP.... RIP man... :(
cruijff is a legend
@juancav510 Exactly. He changed football. Changed it forever. Barcelona would't be able to play like they do now if it wasn't for Cruyff and total football. Forty years later and still every new tactical invention in football finds its origins in the Dutch and Ajax sides of the early seventies.

Un Grande!, me rindo en aplausos...
el mas chingon de tdos
minuto 0:42 que glamour para bajar el balon gracias Cruyff por darle al Barcelona el Football Total
@chrisvda88
Amen
I guess its just an ideals thing, after all, he basically founded modern Barcelona, so i can see where his loyalty would be. Heck, id be pissed if i was dutch and he said what he said, but i can see why he did it.
i thought it was a view of johan Cruyff inside the TOTAL FOOTBALL. Anyway, great video !!

Het 3de shot uit het filmpje,op de training, weet je waar dat fragment uit komt? Hij schiet geloof ik 5 of 6 ballen op de zelfde wijze erin.
@wolfnravenDX you must admit though while even abandoning his ideas they came awfully close playing the rough simplistic football
@wolfnravenDX yep I was.. you guessed it im dutch
actually rinus michels started it cruijff got it from him they started it in ajax 1970-1973
thank u wolfravenDX

@nepotiums
Best is praiseworthy. Just a grade below Cruijff himself and a few more though.
the good old days when players tried to stay on their feet no matter what..
3 players tried to kill him @ 1:01
True, but Cruijff co-invented and played total football at world class level.
@jg33brunner @Who is Ronaldo?
@JasonOon95 Cruyff is don't equal!
1:08
it´s possible?
Wow, 1:07!
Total football knowledge transmission: Cruijff -> Guardiola -> Xavi/Iniesta/Messi
WTF!! it's a football system man! it's not about messi or anyone. You can make everywhere you want but you need a lifetime to see it work :)
i piu grandi immensi
@Gerttervill1 i dont care about wc or of what maradona did,i m just telling what i see!
@nepotiums
Titles, you need titles to claim greatness, not just skills. Best won some, but not enough
@macdonnals21 Cruyff just like Pele these days isn't getting much attention that is why they won't stop talking :D
@Gerttervill1 i dont care about world cups so much but for the teams they play,messi is the best by far nowdays but i havent watched all the old players playing every week so i cant have an opinion for them ,messi doesnt have extraodinary skills messi has something that as long as i live never a footballer had ,not even ronaldo and zidane

In the beginning of the video, Cruyff is dressed like Bruce Lee xD
Since when are you allowed to take a penalty like that?!
@MeSalio1Vonadeo at least cruyff was an awesome manager ;)
er word niemand meer beter dan pele en cruijf
@crps3ESA
Dude, Messi wouldnt be nothing if not fro Cruyff... Cruyff is the cornerstone of all the foundations Messi has, WAY more than Maradona
Cruyff IS Barcelona!
Cruyff > Me

Messi is nice, but he is nothing but a shuffling little freak compared to this graceful genius.
If slide tackles were still allowed, Messi would never do a single thing. He repeats the same actions with training ground technique. Real players could improvise.
If they bring back a leather football - then you will see the truth.
It's my opinion but I think he's better than Maradona or Messi
@ftlptba maradona and pele? messi is good but he lacks leadership. he lacks agression. he is just as good as maradona, if not better, the only difference is that maradona was agressive, the captain of argentinas national team, and wona world cup and runner up to a world cup with argentina. messi didnt even score a goal. look up maradona, he won the champions legue with napoli, a tiny italian team, while messi won with barcelona, a football giant.
Haha no wonder why holland had so good players. Weed-----plant from the heavens
@crps3ESA lack of competition as in there's no one to compete with him for the best of the world prize, i mean.
and lol, you clearly don't know much about football history.
@narko1990The true is this, it's very dificult to accept it, but Messi is better.
Maradona was the best, and this guy the second.
+Moncho1234 For me.. This guy is the best.. Yes Maradona maybe win in technique and goal and trophies.. But this man create Total Football which is phylosophy of Barcelona today..
+Awan Ariady We are all shocked by his sudden death and, today, I feel as to think like you.
+Awan Ariady Maradona won with trophies? How many Europa Cups did he win?
+jethyy He won a FIFA World Cup.
maradona play football with hands..that cheating..
He even plays total football when he takes a panelty
@ideasfaltan Well, you 're misinformed. Messi is fantastic but he is not quite where Pelé, Cruyff and Maradona were. Maradona made mediocre teams world class. Cruyff put a whole footballing nation on the map.
was great then.. now he just talks waaay to much and didn't even seem to support the dutch lads during the WC 2010.
voordeel: goede voetballer nadeel: grote bek
Still beter than messi...
cruyff>ronaldo
I THINK MESSI IS BETTER
