What was so impressive about Cruyff that makes him stand out from the likes of Best , Messi and Maradona and co,who were all great players,was his ability to dribble past players at such great pace.He not only had lightening speed but he still had ball control with the pace.AMAZING PLAYER.
For all of Cryuff's gifts -he was both quick and fast, he was an artist. The great Nureyev likened him to a dancer. He had an incredible sense of balance and was a master creating a moment of indecision in his opponents. As a defender, you knew he was going to get by you. You didn't know how until he was past. Someone below pointed out poor defending and surely there was some of that, but Cryuff was, in his prime, unstoppable. Then and now.
+AC Milan 1899 He was amazing. Not intentionally flashy or vain; he just got by defenders on a very whatever it takes whim, again and again. I love the game and damn, Cryuff was, and remains, the games most influential player decades after he left the field. His peer and equal: Pele. No one can touch them.
After the person who invented the football rules he's perhaps the most important footballing figure ever lived. His legacy of inventing a new type of football, amazing. He's so complete. Going past defenders as if they're not there in an age where horrendous tackles were still condoned. But his greatest asset was his vision and his communication. With him on the pitch you needed no coach.
Lovely to see that every defender wants to tackle him, but none of them could reach him because he is simply too fast. In my opinion is Cruyff much better then Maradonna and I think just as good as Pele
very reminiscent of Messi today by ball control, speed and fast reasoning my list of the best: Pelé (nobody did what he did to hj, aged 17 was top scorer in the league, scored more than 1,200 goals, won every song he played, including two Libertadores and two world club with Santos and 3 World Cups with Brazil ie did everything messi makes up hj 17 years and earned more playing in your country, please no comparisons with REI)
They probably had better close control as you say, being short people they tend to be better dribblers, lower centre of gravity etc.All three great players, but I thought Cruyff was very agile too for example the famous Cruyff turn, and his passing of the ball was far better than all of them.
innovative, brilliant, brave (especially considering the era), but i think playing with him would be frustrating at times. pass the fuckin ball man, i'm open! you have 4 dudes on you!
+Derrick Rose 25## Football has changed a lot over the past 20 years. FIFA changing the world cup in 2026 to 48 teams is indicative of that. It really is just about money now not glory.
Johan cryuff's speedy dribbling,close ball control is equivalent to that of messi's.Watch messi's video and come back here you will see it.Reason messi is considered greatest of all time but cryuff is not becausr messi has lot of goal.Cryuff didn't have goals because he was midfielder.
@DKlucas5 pele and crijgff are together the best ;), when maradona was playing against italy 82 he was teacled al the time . cruijf and pele where i think to fast for the italians so there the best :).
When his career is all said and done, maybe top 10. However, you need to get a grip and realize he's not the best ever, nor will he probably ever be. I was too young to watch Cruyff, but from the looks and sounds of it, he was twice the player cr7 was.
@jigar001 are you insane Pele is better than Maradona, Cruijff didn't need to dribble to pass his oponent, his ball conrol is one of a kind, his pace never seen before.
JOSE IGNACIO BALDO MICHELENA Zidane is behind .. i named only the players who can take the ball from anywhere in the field and score a goal with nobody's help and those are : messi Maradona cruyf ronaldinho fat Ronaldo

He's... so... fast... and so talented in the feet. Praise God for getting to see something like that. Simply amazing, beautiful.

Most beautiful player I ever saw. Wise man as well.
Such a football genius. I love his balance and those gentle touches
Amazing balance and turn of pace. He would be devestating even in today's game.
+AC Milan 1899 He was amazing. Not intentionally flashy or vain; he just got by defenders on a very whatever it takes whim, again and again.

+AC Milan 1899 I forgot to comment on devastating. Great word and Cryuff was that. Imagine trying to cover him.
goddamn, the way he just shifts and feints. just beautiful 😍
Saw him play once many, many years ago. Best.ball.handler.ever! RIP, Cruyffie...:-(

One of the greats of football. May he rest in peace but his philosophy of the game live on.
He revolutionized football. Period.
Cruyff, Maradona & M.Laudrup - greatest players on "Brain" position.
And 4 seconds after getting through the first two he repeats it again against TWO right in front of the goalie, just mesmerizing
thanks for compilation and thanks for sharing!
you will always be the legend of Japan , RIP :(
True legend. Rip Johan Cruijff
Thanks Johan, you was the best ever. You was my live.
He is amazing . great style . he is flying ...
R.I.P ❤️

MAGIC! es como ver al corre caminos jugando al futbol!! es super veloz!

Zou vlug als water was Johan rust zacht wij hebben genoten van jou mooie voetbal
He's just like Messi, or shall I say, Messi is just like him.
WackyEwan Messi is superior by a long shot
@@fabriziogarreta7160 bitch please Cruijff is waaaaaaaayyyyy better then messi
Fabrizio Garreta hell no he is way better than Messi
Cruyff era simplemente asombroso su tecnica consistia en juntar rivales para poder salir entre 3 o 4 rivales simplemente increible
My favorite player by far
He's right up there with Pele, Maradonna and Best.
Messi is a great passer himself, do you even watch football? His vision and ability to pick out passes is incredible.
R.I.P to a legend
Legend!
que potencia !! crack de cracks !
That last dribble is crazy, it looks like the defender is about to fall on his ass
CHE MERAVIGLIA!!!!
Descansa en paz flaco..
He doesn't fall after any contact...
Messi and Ronaldo have a lot to learn...
1.-Pelè
2.-Romario
3.-Cruyff

3:44 absolutely straight arrow against TWO and frontal through them>
gareth bale ? 2:07 so fokin fast
Lovely to see that every defender wants to tackle him, but none of them could reach him because he is simply too fast. In my opinion is Cruyff much better then Maradonna and I think just as good as Pele
he is fast. his acceleration when he is standing stil, never seen that fast.
1. Pele
2. Maradona
3. Ronaldo (Brazil)
4. Messi
5. Cruyff
2.07: ik heb nog nooit zo'n versnelling gezien vanuit stilstand, bij geen enkele voetballer uit zowel heden als verleden.
Bijna niet menselijk!!!
People always talk about maradonna but never about cruijff
its sad
He is good player
Esse era editado viu, nossa, só paravam esse homem na pancada!
Zidane was as perfect as perfect can be :)
1-Messi, 2-Maradona, 3-Cruyff, 4-Pele, 5-Di Stefano
very reminiscent of Messi today by ball control, speed and fast reasoning
my list of the best:
Pelé (nobody did what he did to hj, aged 17 was top scorer in the league, scored more than 1,200 goals, won every song he played, including two Libertadores and two world club with Santos and 3 World Cups with Brazil ie did everything messi makes up hj 17 years and earned more playing in your country, please no comparisons with REI)
Cruyff was the shit , best soccer player ever

Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo ( r9) are the best, the rest come next
And why do people have to compare all the time, just watch and enjoy.

Henry Sommerfield in fact he was a generous and unselfish player, is just that this is a dribbling compilation
2:08 hes very fast, think those defenders in that time couldnt cope with that but for me Maradona is best when he was 26 years old
Carai Cruyff jogo muito
Only player stopping Messi from being the greatest ever. R.I.P Johan
R.I.P
r.i.p.
Crack.
Still the best ever
Netherlands💪🔥❤⚽
He's my favourite player of all time.
He had amazing vision and ability.
He also had a wonderful sense of humour! x
Are you from the netherlands?
+Derrick Rose 25##

Football has changed a lot over the past 20 years. FIFA changing the world cup in 2026 to 48 teams is indicative of that. It really is just about money now not glory.
I think Cruyff is under-rated, he is defiently one the the greatest but he is not better than Pele.
PELE is the KING

True, but Messi, Maradona and Best had better close control and were more agile.
