One of the giants in the history of sports in general. An exponent of art in football. Indeed, it's amazing how Cruyff combined art with efficiency. Absolute genius.
@TheGiorgi7 Chosen as the best European football player of the 20th century and in the top 4 off the world,silly boy.
@TheGiorgi7 iffhs international federation of football and historics nr 1 century off Europe nr 2 century off the World named Johan Cruijff facts my boy zidane better than Cruijff is a bad joke.
@TheGiorgi7 Luckily then i don´t have listen to that nonsense anymore!
@@albertv.riessen96 actually he was voted the 2nd best of the 20 th century after Pele.
@@patrickhauser588 "Chosen as the best European football player of the 20th century" Key word - European
Always the best player on the field. In almost every match he played. A midfielder who made goals, as if he was a striker. Absolute general.
he WAS a striker in 4-3-3 set up but he often dropped deep as false 9 or even playmaker. a total footballer
Great player but he was no r9 or messi. More like the dutch george best id say
These guys didn't defend back then. The space available to the players then was a travesty.
Not as good as Jack Charlton though
@@clintonmanning6433 cruyff was a far better player than bobby so was best! Shit id even say law was better too
I'm 25 years old, and watching someone like that... makes me emotional. He was too good. A true genius of the game. You will live forever, Cruijff.
How can say that by whatching highligt haha
@@bryananofa7165shut up bro it’s a sport stop gatekeeping
Its the music that made you emotional
@@soposh5673 yeah
10.40 unbelievable Cruyf!..👀
Footballer of the year 3 times, innovating the game, runner-up in the world cup, creative penalties, the Phantom goal, legendary dribblings, blazing speed, loyalty to his family during an armed robbery, deciding to stay with them instead of going to another world cup, provocative gestures of Francos savage dictatorship in Spain, incredible Intelligence, being fluent in many languages, his prideful attachment for Judaism due to his home villages upbringing and Ajax Amsterdam, a dutch-jewish club, tutoring young talents who later became legends in their own rights exampl. Van Basten, Guardiola.
Johan Cruyff was footballs enigma. An icon for dutch and catalonian nationalists alike. Although he smoked like a chimney and, tragically, lost his most important battle, Johan will be remembered for everything he has left us with.
Amen... 😔🙏
He didn't lose Johan never loses he just became invisible to the human eye. His style at ajax barca and everywhere he went reflects cruyff in it. Until the ball is passed Johan will be alive.
@@hussainabbas9578 very nice comment from you...
Yeah broo 🥰.... But I miss him.....
😭❤️❤️❤️
@@hussainabbas9578 😭😭
Probably the most complete player technically. Pioneer of the false 9. Great vision, balance and technique.
He's all what you said ,but pioneer os false 9 started with Zagallo ,brazilian coach in 1970 when he played Tostão(midfielder)as a false 9 ,because that team had 5 midfielder that played basically in the same position.
@@gostodemaisdaroca4052 Hideguti in 1950s....the first "false 9"
Don't forget blistering pace by the looks of it
Most complete player is Messi but Cruyff was also greatest
that is gerrard or scholes. note u said complete. it comes in defending too
He can dribble , shoot , pass , jump higher than others he can defend , intiligence , balance , elegance ... , what more can i say , a boss in the field , and above that he runs so fast despite his tall , an all round- artist , a talent comes in a life time 💖💖
Not to forget a great and visionary coach. Modern Spanish football would be unthinkable without him.
SPEEED
SCARY ....... it seems that he is literally a high level player in today's times who went back in time on a machine to have fun
And imagine what he would have been up to if he were playing today as a young man?
Well.. nowadays.. so many players tend to dive.. but not cruyff
A think there where higher level players in his day than in ours to be honest
Bro.. I don't know u know or not he is the father of modern football ❤️
@@paulmcnairney1123 Frank " The Shagger" Worthington , for one. Duncan MacKenzie/Tony Currie/Stan Bowles.....? That's just a few English players.

TOTAL FOOTBALL ALONG WITH HIS MENTOR AND MANAGER,, RINUS MICHELS... R.I.P TO BOTH OF THEM. 😢😢🇨🇾🇨🇾
He wasn't just a footballer, he boosted the confidence of an entire nation & for that he will always be remember as Onze Johan (our Johan)..RIP

The greatest Football-Man. Probably the best footballer (could use both feet exactly the same). A great manager and a great philosopher of the game. The football we watch today we owe it to him.

I witnessed the goals Cruyff scored against Rangers in the first-ever Supercup final. Unbelievable display of skill, control and pace. A possible candidate for the best footballer ever.
possible? he is a candidate
@@diogomota1400?
He'd got everything.
A player that was 40 years ahead in time, his contribution changed the game forever. So sad he didn't win the world cup, but he was world champion with Ajax, making the team one of the top 10 teams of the world even today. 20 years of pure magic, in and out the field, because he was an amazing coach as well, winning Barcelona's first European Cup. Legend like only a few.

Very nice and true.
I remember everyone practicing the Cruyff turn after the 1974 World cup.
best European footballer of all time
Not the best for me, but certainly the greatest
Zidane,franz beckenbauer,Platini,lothar matthaus,Iniesta, Xavi,Bobby Charlton,Lev Yashin,Maldini and many more
@@munamohamedjaafar677 still better then all of them. Its close but his a bit better
Yes the greatest
@@benardboateng1501 yea tbh
Dribbling, pace, acceleration, intelligence, ambidextrousity !
RIP Johan, great player and person. I always will remember you when I was 11 years old in 1975 when I saw you in Nou Camp in Barcelona by first time. Colour and ilusion.
Are 51 yrs
If it weren't for his smoking he would have been alive😢😢

man i never realised he was so good...dribbles and shoot with both feet, good in the air, playmaking..
cuz you are as clueless as african expert
@@power279 ah ok..and who are you again?
He was!.. he was really fast with the ball on his foots
Tbh i watched full matches of his ajax holland era and these videos dont show his greatness
@@Top10YTx best playmaker of all time right
This man is a master of all on the football pitch. A true genius.
You can't even appreciate how unbelievable he was by watching video. I saw him play live in a FIFA all-star match around 1978, and it was incredible to see how he glided and floated around the 'entire' pitch...I mean every inch of it...effortlessly!
He made the other players look like they were running in molasses while he was on ice skates. And these were the best players in the world!
Yes
Eusebio was in that 78 all stars.
Cruyff curled him a long range pass that looked teleguided down to Eusebios feet to score.
It was unbelievable
The goal against Argentina is so stylish. The way he brings the ball down effortlessly, sidesteps the keeper and casually kicks it into the goal.
He was his time ahead...
I had a stroke reading this
He was ahead of his time.
@@cyberpunk11x haha yea I know just messing around
No doubt definitely time ahead his
@TheGiorgi7 Bit unlucky on national stage.. but damn sure he is the legend of the game
One of the truly greatest players. Brilliant, faultless, in complete control. Pace, intelligence, skill. Just magnificent.
First off, this is an outstanding compilation of Cruijff's greatest moments that truly do justice to the greatness of a football phenomenon that Johan Cruijff was! Maybe, the most thorough tribute ever shared on social media for any footballer ever!
Well said.
I am a young player who would probably take a new modern play as my inspiration but no one can stop me from loving the best play ever rest in peace Johan we all love ☝🏽☝🏽
Cruyff was known as the master when he was playing. He was the perfect example of a player who was always in control, always deliberate, always conducting the games, and knew it.
Yes like maradona
He is my favourite player of all time. Such grace and poise on the ball. Possessd rapid change of pace and foot. Lightning reactions and like all great players the ability to see what no one else can see. The balance of a ballerina. A gazelle in human form is how I saw him. Thanks for posting.
Great comment..
The finest player Europe has ever produced. Lots of these clips are from his time in Feyenoord when he was 35/36/37. He was still firmly among the worlds best players.
I was a kid growing up in Cruyff's peak 1970s era & he's without doubt the best European player I've ever seen. His 1974 world cup performances have never been topped by any European player in a World Cup I've seen.
I've seen Zidane at world cups. He only turned it on for a couple of matches at best & was carried by a strong French team in the other games were he was just ok. Cruyff was top gear in literally ever match at that 74 world cup.
At club level he was outstanding, winning three European Cups with Ajax & three ballon d'Or 's.
He played everywhere during a game, from defensive areas, on the wings, center midfield dictating play & in the final third getting onto the end of chances in the opposing box. He was fast, with a terrific turn of pace, with fast close control dribbling skills.
He could tackle really well. Head really well. Was brilliantly two footed, which enabled him to pass, cross, shoot accurately with either feet & he had fantastic vision, to pick up players runs, playing them in, with beautifully crafted, weighted passes or pick up runs into dangerous areas. He could play anywhere on a pitch. Just a awesome total footballer like Pelé & Di Stéfano.
From the players I've seen in the last 20 years. It's only Messi I'd put in those players bracket. He's definitely skill wise & technically wise, up there with Pelé, Di Stéfano, Cruyff, Maradona.
I disagree, Messi lacks variety and inventiveness and certain leadership qualities that the above have, I would add Ronaldinho instead and Garincha too, to that list .
@@DylanFowler Not sure what you mean that he lacks " variety " & " inventiveness " . To the contrary. At his peak years, he was literally unplayable in unbelievable narrow space's. Demonstrating unbelievable close controls, sharp changes of directions & clever feints.
Ronaldinho only had between 2004 to 2006, where he played at a top ballon d'Or winning levels. Messi from 2008 to 2019 played at ballon d'Or winning levels. That's a big difference.
With Garrincha, I don't think he'd cut it today. Managers study players game & area's they like to pop into. Garrincha always did that jockey to the outside of the defender move. His athleticism wasn't that great. The games I've seen off him on RUclips. His crossing & shooting was erractic by modern standards .
George Best was superior to him. He played the wide positions, more like a modern player. Starting off from wide right or left, cutting in side or outside with unpredictable, jinking movements, with both feet.
@TheGiorgi7 Nope! Show me a better world cup tournament performance from a European player, than Cruijff 1974 world cup escapades?
Dominated the European Cup in the early 1970s, winning it three times in a row.
Won the ballon d'Or three times.
Went from the best club side in the world at the time Ajax in 1973, to a second from bottom struggling Barcelona side, that hadn't won anything in years & fired them to the league title.
Complete as a player, that played all over the pitch, with world class efficency. Whether defending, tackling, passing, dribbling, heading, shooting. Brilliantly ambidextrous. Backed up with superb acceleration, that enabled him to leave a string of defenders in his wake.
Superb, fast, reactionary speeds of thought, to apply the right solutions to most given situations.
All of the above, performed with optimized athleticism.
His attributes where as complete as Pelé & Di Stéfano.
You sound like a millenniel kid, so you weren't around when he played. I was & I've seen all of the great players since & post his era.
@TheGiorgi7 Your top seven has players that never won a world cup - Messi, Ronaldo 7.
And players that never won a European Cup /Champions League - Maradona, Ronaldo 9.
Messi as won neither Copa America or World Cup.
So he's barren regarding winning international trophies for his country like Cruijff, so your argument holds no merit, as it clearly contradicts itself.
He did not just dribble past defenders he left them for dead. He had everything. An absolute genius.
No wonder he was called Flying Dutchman. He was so skillful, fast and flexible, seems flying in the soccer field!
One of the best ever! RIP Johan Cruyff! What a player he was!!!
the most complete player ever i think.I didnt see him playing but only from vids can understand how great he was.
I'm 20 years old and it's sad realize how fast life goes by. In these images we see a boy. Not long ago he was a boy, a boy who became a legend, and already died.
But Cruyff's legacy is perpetual. ❤️
So right mate
Yrs go very fast like light
At blind of eye you will reach 30 and 40
🌺🌺🌺🌺
10:40 Unbelievable
The Mastermind of one of the greatest teams that ever existed ... R.I.P. Johan
Agreed
10:40 unbelievable
If he only scored @@yurttas5830
In this video you 'just' see his skills, which were awesome. Even more important was his vision on football and how he changed the game by inventing total football with Ajax and the national Dutch team and tiki taka in Barcelona: attacking, forechecking, putting pressure on your opponent's half, and demanding footballers to be able to play in different positions on the pitch. No one ever had these revolutionairy ideas.
You guys can watch nearly every big ajax/holland era match in full lenght on youtube.. you cannot describe players, with impact like him or beckenbauer, with highlight videos! Same phenomen with zidane
The best player that ever was. The moments that stand out are countless but how he humiliated England at an England-Holland friendly at Wembley in '77 and a standing ovation he got from Aston Villafans at a Villa vs Barcelona game are to me the best moments
Immense Player! One of the few players who can be 'genuinly' be named 'one of the best in world football' past and present!
Up there with the greatest for me - I watched him as manager of Barca once doing an interview and he effortlessly moved across five languages - not just a footballer, a super intelligent thinker too.
Such a modern player: you could see what football was to be like in the following 20 years just
by looking at his play.
Incredible speed! He was very fast! Thank you for this video
The original modern footballer. You can see alot of what he does in Messi (Obviously Messi made it completely his own) but you can see the influence Cruyff has had on tge way Barca (Used) to raise it's youth squads.
I was a kid in 74 when they lose against West Germany and I spent all the summer representing the game in our holiday house and scoring goals for Nederland between two doors of the corridor [I'm not Dutch], I loved so much that team specially Johan
the perfect combination of Speed and Technique, a great Footballing brain with strong physical qualities, the one of a kind Johan Cryuff 😢🙏❤️⚽👑
True footballing brilliance R.I.P Johan Cruyff
Best legend in football history 🇳🇱🔥😍🔥
I love this legend❤❤🇳🇱🇳🇱❤❤💪
We miss him every day the absolute GOAT
Amazing how he is two-footed. Look at him pass, dribble, score, with both left and right just as easy. That's so unique and that wholesomeness is what makes him so great.
He seems faster, more skilful, stronger and more tactically aware than anyone else on the pitch. Boss.
I was fortunate to watch Cruyff in Washington DC playing for Diplomats NASL team while I was a young aspiring soccer player. Even at the end of his career, aging and injured at times, Johan could still silence the crowds with his brilliance on the pitch. So cool so see some of those old clips here!
He was a complete player , a striker, a midfield as well as a defender.
I really like this legend. Johan Cruyff represetnted art on the surface of green grass . He was so flamboyan and charismatic made everybody on the field and in the stand respected him most. On an interview he told the reporter that he used to play fottball together with his teammates in Ajax and 1974 Dutch legendary team with the word "love", and let the people come to the stadiium to enjoy watching beautiful game. To win the game is important but to win people heart is the most important things. Cruyff has performed modernity since he came to the pitch for the first time and brought the world a new style of playing football as a combination of sport, entertainment dan glory. Most of football fans believe that Hendrik Johannes Cruyff is the greatest European Football player of all time dispite being unlucky not to win 1974 FIFA World Cup. His brilliant mind and charisma have made Barcelona as one of the very best football club in the history of World Soccer without any doubt since first time he managed the Catalan team and leave us a legendary Barca's style of playing with tiki taka that also made very big impact for Spanish National Team who won three prestigous footbal tournament in a row; European Cup 2008, World Cup 2010 and again European Cup 2012. Thanks Johan for what you have done in footbal. We will always miss you.
My favorite player of all time , a genius in a team of superstars . Given how little football was filmed back then just imagine some of the things he did when there were no cameras present
Greatest european player of all time, as simple as that

The Gospel of Johan
"If you play for ball possession you don't have to defend. Cause there is only one ball."
"Experience. You’ve either got it or you don't."
"The average of a team is determined by its weakest player."
"If you give Italians one opportunity, they score two goals"
"I am seldom in error, because I find it difficult to make mistakes."
"The difference between right and wrong is often no more than five meters."
"The simpler the better, because the fewer options you give to a player, the higher the chance that he will be doing the right thing."
"I absolutely hate a player that moves, but doesn't know where to."
"People say life is a flow. That's correct. When I tried to spit against the wind recently, it landed in my own face."
"We did fantastic, simply because we couldn't do any better!"
"Well, the ball has to go between those two posts. As a minimum."
"Play the game as it should be played. Football is made for the spectators. They most enjoy seeing an attack, so you have to attack."
"Am I dictatorial? No, I'm not, but the players have to do what I say."
"I don't believe, because I'm not a believer, but I do think that there is something else and therefore I believe in the thing that I think is there"
"Well, if you understood football, YOU would be sitting here"
"I have got to be able to trust the people in my team, and they have to challenge me. I have no use for brownnosers"
“I'm still convinced that the way that I do it is how it has to be done, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.”
"If you see a player sprint, then he has started too late"
(at Barcelona) “Before the match 22 players are praying, I never understood that. If there was a God and he would treat everyone equal, every match would end up a draw"
"We started searching for the victory and then you always automatically find it.”
"I wasn't there just like that when I was 17, falling out of the sky! I was there already when I was 14, stealing the bikes of Ajax' first team. I didn't look up to them, I knew I was going to be one of them, sooner or later."
"Ajax is a fantastic club! If you make sure that you're in charge, otherwise it is impossible to work there"
"I always take decisions myself. If at Ajax they tell me "You're too old" then I say "You don't decide that, that's my decision"
"I've got an office in Barcelona. But you'll never find me there, cause I don't like paper."
"Italians? They can not win from you. But you CAN loose from them."
"Often something has to happen, before something happens"
“Playing football is very simple. But playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.”
"I love working! As long as it is work that I love ..."
(on TV football analysis) "When I come home from a TV talk show, Danny (wife) always asks "what did you say?". Then I reply "For the life of me, I can't remember"
"I'm always against everything. Until I take a decision, then I'm in favor of it. Seems logical to me ..."
"A rich club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal"
"It's better to go down with your own vision, then with the vision of somebody else"
"First point, there is only one ball so you've got to have that one, but the essence is: what are you then going to do with that ball?"
(at Barcelona) "Now there is unity, everybody does what I'm asking for. That's because they're not Dutchmen, that always say as soon as I take a breath 'Yes, but ...' ”
"The time that I carried money is long behind me. I always bring my name and my face."
"Misfortune is what you get with a negative attitude and luck is what you get with a positive attitude”
"What do you prefer? One good elevensome or eleven good onesomes?"
"You're not getting it? Well, if I'd wanted you to understand it, I would have explained it better"
"The dot has to be put there on the i where it belongs!"
"If you're not there somewhere, then you are either too early or you are too late."
"People have to drive faster. Then they are quicker off the roads and there are fewer traffic jams.”
"If I ask you to show what you can do, you will show me. But then I also know what you can not do, because you're not showing me that."
"Money that you earn after your 30th birthday is what you save. What you earn before is what you spend."
"Coincidence is logical"

Thank you for this brilliant video.
Being Dutch i grew up with stories of how much better than everyone else he was. However all i ever got to see was slow motion close ups with some classical music. Which only works if you already have some memory of him during his playing days.
This shows what he was actually capable of and it makes me understand what all those old Dutchies were always talking about. Truly one of the all time greats
Genius. A footballing artist. Beautiful to watch.
Grazie Mati, fantastic vid.
Best of the history 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He looks like a pro playing against amateurs or simply divers that cant catch him. Sure they were other days l, but cant contest the skill and pure talent. If you look closely at Ronaldo or Messi videos in their prime they look exacly the same. Like really pro against amateurs. The difference is the same, the only thing i saw Cruyff do more is the defensive/recovery. Thats were he was above our stars today, Indeed a complete footballer. Can only imagine what he would have done in out days with no smoking strict regime, nutritions, training and a complete stars team like we have in out days..
Don;t forget that footballers nowadays play on pitches that resemble snooker tables. Many pitches in Cruyffs day, particularly in winter, were like muddy bobbly ploughed fields.
@@michaelcollins3091 the thing with the mud is if you have good technique it can be an advantage because the defenders can slip more
@@johnnkurunziza5012 However, mostly with the mud/ploughed field, the first touch is to bring ball under control. Players these days don't even have to consider that.

His career would be longer and he wpuld have been able to play more matches in a year and he would recover from injuries far morr quickly. He wouldn't be faster or a better player, that's just a myth. But he would dominate todays low IQ no tackling football effortlessly.
He would left a lot of destruction on teams on his wake.
One of if not the best Johan Cruijff compilations, watched it twice and when I start I can't stop watching, poetry in motion…
Just came across this compilation. This man was a genius. I never realised he was that good. The electric pace, ball control, great at heading the ball, thunderous shot. What a fantastic player 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And top of that also ended up as arguably one of best coaches in history, the man just had it all.
The most underrated player in the GOAT debate. The best European player of all times. Certainly up there with Messi, Maradona and Pele.
Cristiano is a better european player my friend
@@leartjahiu572 pffffffff
Rob Roavers im confused by ur comment
@@leartjahiu572 Legacy wise maybe. But in terms of pure technique and ability, I don't think there is any comparison between the two. Cristiano for all his greatness will only be remembered as a goalscoring machine but Cruyff whilst being an excellent goalscorer himself, is arguably the greatest playmaker of all time.
@@leartjahiu572 no way. Sorry and i do like christiano ronaldo, but no. He is by far not as all round as cruijff was. I mean in those days it was a regular occurance that an opponent team would put 2 or even 3 men 'on' him. Well yea, he couldnt do much anymore then, but the other 9 could. But just to illustrate how he was feared. Not even mentioning the game was a LOT rougher in those days. Cruijff was also known for having eyes in the back of his head, bc tackles from behind were still allowed then and kicks to your feet and ankles were usually not a reason for a referee to use his whistle either. Cruijff used to evade most of those.
I want to see Christiano do that and still play. Or feared in such a way coaches sacrifice several players to just guard christiano.
Genius
His pace balance and left foot unbelievable. I'm old enough to have seen him play he was magnificent
The goal at 1:33 - seriously! The video brilliantly shows his phenomenal control and acceleration. One of the greatest ever.
BEST PLAYER EVER...A GENIUS
If only he was born in this era
Cruyff is the player of seventeens as Maradona is the one of eighteens .No one can compare them .
Best footage of JC I've seen so far, thank you thank you thank you! Also the music behind it is great👌
So much to choose from here, but that first touch at 1.34 was spectacular, followed by a sublime second touch to lob the keeper. What a player... true great, 100% legend of the game
Vaya brutalidad de jugador, que cambio de ritmo, que velocidad con el balón y sin balón... Como pasaba el balón, en corto en largo.. Descomunal, normal que sea uno de los más grandes, sin lugar a dudas está entre los 10 mejores jugadores de la historia... Sin discusiones....
He was my idol and I tried to replicate his skills and movements in my youth
Great compilation. Cruyff was the ultimate footballer. Wish I'd seen more of him.
My English team is Arsenal but I became an Ajax fan ever since they knocked Arsenal out of the 1972 European Cup largely down to the genius of Cruyff and the great quality of football they played.. Thanks for posting
Fantastic player. One of the greatest ever.
Vaya cambios de ritmo ... genio !
An outstanding compilation of footage featuring the Netherlands’ finest footballer, some of it familiar; some, commendably, less so. The video is so beautifully put together, it easily rewards repeated viewings. Thank you.
Thanks for your hardwork, compiling this special video.
Without doubt! the greatest footballer; who ever played the game.
Humble, a GREAT manager also.
His academy at Barcelona, paved the way for great Spanish players.
AND managers.
His legacy incomparable.
