After reading articles and videos about Johan Cruyff, he became my most favorite football player ever. I remember some people say that Cruyff wasn't GOAT material since he never won a World Cup like Pele and Maradona. But he achieved something greater: he changed the game forever. Everytime I play PES Club Manager on my phone, I always use the 4-3-3 or the 3-4-3 Cruyff Diamond formation and with that, I grew my love of Total Football.
@tigerarmyrule i think we are both right. Yes all stars need a team to win. You cant beat 11 players on your own. But most teams, like argentina, need a big player like maradona or they will never win the world cup :)
@@bfc3057 everything they did in the games was because cruyff said it :) but i dont think he said that it that game. the whole team wanted to humiliate the germans and that cost them the title yes.
Playing football is simple, playing simple football is the hardest thing there is. Quality without results is pointless, results without quality is boring. Johan Cruyff: The Founding Father Of Beautiful Football. ThankYou Sir
Messi is a hybrid of Cruyff and Maradona Messi has Footballing IQ Versatility Tactical Awareness Decision Making Consistency like Cruyff Messi has skill Dribbling close control Ball Control Composure Balance Short burst of Acceleration like Maradona
Cruyff's footballing intelligence has proved to have a lasting impact on the game. His influence on FC Barca is beyond measure. Barca set up a youth academy because of Cruyff. That Youth academy eventually produced their greatest coach, generation of players and individual player whose raw talent was honed by a youth set up that taught the football philosophy inspired by Cruyff to those players who evolved total football to tiki taka (I know that term isn't universally loved these days but I'm only using it out of convenience
When you put everything together in football, in my opinion Cruijff is the person who had the most influence on the game of football. As a player he was brilliant. As a trainer a genius. And as a human being, pure, couregous and he had always an eye for others. This made him so incredibly special. You can never rate players, because everybody sees things differently (we're humans after all). But personally I would rate the 4 best players ever in random order here: Maradona, Pelé, Messi and Cruijff. To me (I admit I'm Dutch whahaha), Cruijff is the Rembrandt of the 20th century. We as Dutch people should be sooo thankful, that we had this genius among us. Johan...I love you forever, our number 14.
Pele is hands down the greatest ever. That guy was a freak of nature. 58 goals in 38 games at the age of 18. Enough said. Even, Cruyff said that Pele exceeded the boundaries of footballing logic.
@@DC-zi6se cruyff indeed said that. But cruyff created new football logica. Man was truly unique. And dominated like no other player. And technically at par with any other candidate for the goat. Cruyff was three players in one. Football talent and mastermind. Ajax an dutch team with him is football history.
He was exactly what Messi is currently. Controlling the whole game. System building player. Can make his teammates look great when actually they are average.
Nope messi only great at club football ⚽️ johan and the other hand dominate football entirely he's style one brasalona countless torphys even spine benefits form him true lamasia so don't come them
Cruijff, 37 years old, rotten ankles so no speed, made my club Feyenoord champion in 84 with a bunch of average players and a young Ruud Gullit. He was still able to do some magic, while he could only play for 60 minutes. It was so Obvious that he was smarter than the rest. Cruijff was a football proffesor.
the fact his prime icon in fifa is lower than zidane's and ronaldo's is rediculous neither of those had any consistancy in their carreer ronaldo was declining at 22 and zidane had a combined 5 good seasons at max over a 13 or so year carreer
@Al Cipta Cruyff also won 3 ballon d'ors.He is ranked among the top 5 best players of all time.The other two aren't.As simple as that.And Mustafi also has won the world cup.Is he better than Cruyff?No.
I love this video, but i still noticed 2 minor mistakes at 4:38. In the dutch squad you put Neeksens (should be Neeskens as you got right later), and you also put Resenbrink, which should be Rensenbrink. Great video, keep it up
@Al Cipta Nope. When people talk about the 74 World Cup they are usually talking about Cruyff and the Netherlands, not Germany (despite Germany having a brilliant team as well). Germany won the final, but the Dutch changed the way the game was played forever. Germany were good, Holland were revolutionary.
@Al Cipta You're more of a butthurt loser since you don't enjoy football. If you only care about winning and nothing else, then you should never play football. Period.
Cruijff > Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona, Eusebio etc. Watch him in '74 world cup. He played everywhere, orchestrated everything, didn't do anything unless it had a purpose despite having the ability to ghost past anyone. Beautiful football as we know it is almost entirely because of him
This is part 1 of the series. If we're going to talk Cruyff, we're gonna need tot all about his managerial influence as well. Excellent video btw, nice finish.
What is never said is that the Total football way of changing positions was meant for permanent attack like a carousel out which players defenders alike moved into the attackin likes. Oppononts wereld relentlessly put under pressure with and without the ball of course and were dazzled by the constant popping up of players in various different positions. Teams in the end crumbled. Cruyff was not only a genius playmaker, technician and striker he was the most wanderous player of them all. A sort of destroyer looking for opportunity to be dangerous. Not only shifting postions in the lengte but also laterally from left to right. He had fantastic acceleration and tempo changes. Ajax and cruyff was beautiful football because of talentvand trainig but also they were predators strangling the opponent if you Will. Cruyff was unpredictable and dangerous. Innovative. That why he was great to watch. Bewildering technique and ball control, vision, speed and this unpredictabilty.
I remember being bedazzled as a kid watching his fancy footwork in a corner as two opposing players tried to take the ball off him. No mention here of tiki-taka....?!

He probably wasn't, but he did it on the biggest stage. Like that penalty/pass. He said he'd seen that done in a Dutch lower league game and he wanted to do that with Ajax.
Yet when Valverde, who played under Cruyff, played anyone the least bit "out of position", the toxic online fake fans would shriek in horror, "he's ruining players, he doesn't have Barca DNA!" And when the new coach came in and started playing people all around, with midfielders often furthest upfield, Busquets behind the back line defending his own goal line, LB assisting RB for a goal, those same phonies are suddenly silent about what constitutes "Barca style". Hell, when Messi fed a beautiful pass over the top to Frenkie De Jong who scored, the Ajax coach whined like a biatch that he shouldn't be playing that far forward.
Yes Obviously. Maradona was unbelievable but inconsistent. But Cruyff was Consistent throughout his career and was built for this game just like Messi.
Het leukste aan dit filmpje is dat het gaat over d beste speler die Ajax ooit heeft gehad maar met een Feyenoord achtergrond 😂😂 blijft de beste Europese voetballer alleen tijden
Undoubtedly the most important man in Barcelona history RIP Barcelona and ajax legend
Idk but one of I'd say. Messi, Guardiola, Iniesta, Xavi, Luis Enrique, Puyol... There are lots.
Not even in barca history tbh most IMPORTANT IN whole football history

Messi is a hybrid of Cruyff and Maradona

Maradona's football IQ wasn't inferior to Cruyff's.
