RIP Johann Cruyff. 

 

And some interesting quotes from him:

 

Football is simple, but it is difficult to play simple.

Italians can not beat you, but you can certainly lose against them.

- Every disadvantage has an advantage

- If people would drive faster on the highway, they would be home faster and so they wouldn't be standing in traffic jams all the time

- If you don't shoot at goal, you can't score

- I know more than nothing about volleyball, and that's enough

- I'm against everything. Until I make a decision, because then I'm for it

- The truth is never exactly as you thought it would be

- I'm not religious. In Spain, all 22 players ask God for help before the match, but if it actually worked, every match would end in a draw

- Experience is something you have or you don't have

- For a bad player, he has a very good technique, but for a good player, he has a very bad technique (talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic)

- Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake

- I would never be able to work for AS Roma...they have an athletics track around the field and that's the worst thing in the world

- If you score one more goal than your opponent, you win the match

- If you're not at a certain place, you're either too early or too late

- You have to defend in every place of the field. That costs less energy, because then you don't have to run all the way back to make a goal

- If everybody does their job, you'll at least get a draw

- I've never seen a bag of money score a goal

- If you knew anything about football, you'd be in my position right now

- Sometimes something has to happen before something happens

- I love working as long as I'm doing work I love

- One of the 32 participating countries at the World Cup wins the World Cup. The others won't, because they're not there

- For starters, there's only one ball, so you need to have possession of that one, but the main thing is: what do you do with that ball?

- Football is simple: you're either right on time or you're too late. If you're too late, you should have left earlier

- If you see a player sprint, it means he left too late

- As long as we are in control of the ball, they can't score

- If I asked you to show what you can do, you'd show what you can do. However, you'd also show what you couldn't do, because you're not showing that.

- If I wanted you to understand it, I'd have explained it better

- The ball is an essential part of the game

- If you're playing with a lot of ball possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball

- I'm still convinced that the way I do things is the way it should be done, because otherwise I wouldn't be doing it like that

- If Italians get one chance, they score two goals

I'm not a football expert, but looking at the way we're playing against France at the moment, I don't think this team is going to give us the European title this summer

USA is leading Colombia 1-0 in the first match of Olympic playoffs. Gil scored in 5th minute.
