I've always loved this video. By some distance it's the Johan compilation on RUclips. First time I've watched it in years - and since his death: second it finished, I replayed it. R.I.P. legend.
Serás por siempre una leyenda. Serás el legado del fútbol total. La simpleza de la maravillosidad, la perfección. Nadie podrá igualar los hecho, siquiera Maradona. Tu enseñanza perdura y perdurará por el resto de los tiempos, así el fútbol seguirá siendo... lo indescriptible, seguirá siendo Cruyff
Without Cruyff's influence, Barcelona never would have set up the academy they have today. Players like Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, etc have all been developed through his academy. Cruyff also invented the Total Football system with no defined positions, famously used today by Barca. For me he is the most important player of all time. Not only a very, very talented player, but a true visionary.
Cruijff was not only a genious player, but also a superb leader on the field. That was making him one of a kind. After Cruijff, the world never saw a same kind of leader on the field. That made him Special. He was the one who made AJAX, and Barca what they are today.
I just read the Four Four Two article on him, thanks for putting this on the web. Hard to believe he did all this whilst being a chain smoker. It's too bad his temper has put him out of favor with his old clubs, the man is a genius.
I’m not a huge soccer oficianado but this is great stuff. This stands out: 1. His skill on display during the ‘74 World Cup. 2. The flying back-heel goal with Real Madrid. Insane. (Maybe more impressive than Jordan’s trick in the ‘91 Finals.) Is this the best goal Cruyff ever scored? 3. Toward the end, a bunch of fans crowding the edge of the pitch. What was up with that? Anyway, thanks. great video for my favorite player.
One of the oldest videos on youtube but so well made and the track running behind is fabulous. I think every tribute video should have a rock background.
I have seen soccers and I have played soccer many years ago... and I can say that Cruyff has been among the 3 best players in the world... the thing is that in that time the TV was very limited... beside he was a REAL leader.. always organizing the team, the game and everything... for me is the soccer genius
From what I've seen, Cruyff was the best player ever. He knew what he had to do and executed it perfectly every time. All of those chips shot goals are stunning, to still score with the goalkeeper not that far from his line is amazing skill
Same here. Everytime Barcelona lose a major match like Roma, Liverpool, I imagine a young unknown Cruyff like player subbed in and scoring that kinda goal.
Undoubtedly one of the 3 greatest players ever, what skill, vision he had, and what a general, he could control games from the halfway line with his passing, as well as be deadly at scoring. He was the heart of Ajax and Holland, then Barcelona and that Dutch total football team was along with Brazil 70 the most exciting there's been
Remember the time before millenium! Those men were real legends and full of awesomeness. Lew Yashin,Beckenbauer, Müller, Platini Zidane, Baggio, Cruyff , Eusebio, Puskas, di Stefano, Maradona, Pele, Roberto Carlos, Socrates, Zico, Ronaldo etc. Nobody today can mess with them. Except Ronaldinho.
Cruyff,one of the best in history,magnificent skills,very refined,elegant player,very intelligent,great vision,great understanding of the game,a complete player,leader,a legend
Cruyff is 30 years ahead of his time. His trick was just like Ronaldinho of 2000s, his long passing was just like Beckham of late 1990s, his eyes were like Xavi of 2000s. And at the moment, Spain & Barca are the best team in the world because of him ... :)
chiamatemi pazzo, ma non mi stanco mai di vedere questo video...un giocatore incredibile:elegante ma allo stesso tempo veloce e spietato, negli anni in cui non esistevano i numeri da circo dei vari cristiano ronaldo e soci..ma solo il calcio totale. ..confesso di guardare questi video e documentari con un pò di malinconia.
That chipshot is incredible. I see players do it when the goalkeeper charges, but nobody has enough controll to chip it like that when the whole team crowds the 6 yard box. Nobody today even tries it.
i've watched this video when i was a junior school teenager. still my fave compilation of cruyff's best goals (and also an awesome and good music by twisted sisters!). rust in vrede, de legende. de nummer 14, mijn held. de beste voetballer ter wereld.
Doubtless, a soccer genious. In my opinion, Cruyff has a brilliant notion of how a player should act in purpose to make a vitorious team. If Barcelona, nowadays, is the best team in the world, Cruyff is the one whom defined Barça's success way, from the youngest players untill the professional team.
Judging THE best is impossible. We get to the level of Cruyff, Best, Maradona, Zico, Messi, Gullit etc and they are all wonderfully talented and capable. Cruyff was a superb player.
Don't if he was the best but this guy was definatly one of the best, He did things no other player did before the CruyffTurn, remember that always, so cool
Legendaria La naranja Mecanica! Johan Cruiff Fue un jugador Completo Pocos jugadores puedes ocupar difenrentes posiciones como el supo hacerlo... Igual podía defender en un contraataque como correr por la banda o anotar un gol desde tres cuartos de cancha.... Simplemente legendario
I never watched Garrincha play personally because I didn't have the luck to be alive back then. But he is the biggest idol of my team, Botafogo, and ALL Botafogo fans know and think Garrincha was the best, and he was, just look at him playing and you'll realize.
@tiotito31 yes, a penalty is basically a free kick but in front of goal which means that it can be played to another player, obviously there are very few players that have ever attemtped a pass for a penalty kick, I'm guessing Ajax were a few goals ahead and wanted to try something a bit different
@royalsteven absolutely right. Cruyff and Best are and remain the two greatest european dribblers partly through ability and partly through the tackling they endured which is something that Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc simply do not have to face.
I've always loved this video. By some distance it's the Johan compilation on RUclips. First time I've watched it in years - and since his death: second it finished, I replayed it.
R.I.P. legend.
R.I.P Legend :(
Rest in peace Dutch legend who modernised the beautiful game
9 years ago.... 28.08.2006.. and now 24.03.2016 Johan Cruyff died.. R.I.P Legend!
Soccer will miss that man, a legend, great guy, one of the best players of ever.
Football*
In Brazil it's FUTEBOL, in the US it's Soccer.
@@rekdinhopoetico only Americans call it soccer
Rest in Peace, we'll never forget you
Luca Modric looks like him :D what a Legend, perfect song
Great video. Twisted sister and Cruyff - killer combo
3:27 - player form Atletico tried to break his ankle and he anticipated it beautifully
RIP the great Johan Cruyff
To watch you,
it was pleasure for us.
Thank you Cruyff.
It is always a delight to watch him play
Em uma palavra? Gênio!!!
Driblava o goleiro como se fosse um cone à frente dele!
Bom vídeo, ótima história Bruno.
Iradex me trouxe aqui.
Lucas Silveira Muito obrigado! :)

Back in the 1970's the NASL was in existence and I was a kid back then. I used to see this man play for the Los Angeles Aztecs. Kick-ass striker!!!
† R.I.P. to The Flying Dutch †
Rest In Peace
Incredible video complilation. I watch it over and over. Gracias.

Grande Cruyff (Q.E.P.D.)
WHICH band plays this music?
Twisted sister
lol love the ending with all the fans just on the pitch almost, and pitch invading just after he scores, what a player too
Cruijff was not only a genious player, but also a superb leader on the field. That was making him one of a kind. After Cruijff, the world never saw a same kind of leader on the field. That made him Special. He was the one who made AJAX, and Barca what they are today.

That Cruyff turn was magic

The King Without a Crown. Cruyff, I wish there were more players like him nowadays.

Incredible, My all-time favorite player.. Man, if you did this vid I have to tell you that this is collectable..
From what I've seen, Cruyff was the best player ever. He knew what he had to do and executed it perfectly every time. All of those chips shot goals are stunning, to still score with the goalkeeper not that far from his line is amazing skill
Watching for almost 2 years. And everytime gets goosebumps... 1:10
Same here. Everytime Barcelona lose a major match like Roma, Liverpool, I imagine a young unknown Cruyff like player subbed in and scoring that kinda goal.
bellissimo tributo ad un mostro di un calcio che non esiste più.
cruyff was absolute superstar and legend.
and he has class.
on and off the pitch

hes just ......a legend ....awesome football player
I totally agree.Johann Cruyff and George Best were and always will be the best footballers in this universe,thank god they stepped this world!!!
Un maestro de hacer goles y dribleo increibles goles!
Legend. Soccer (football) doesn't match with only "samba". I'm Brazilian and I Love hard/rock/punk/progresive/metal. Greetings from Brazil.
Twisted Sister: Heroes are hard to find. \m/
Simply the best ever, no one ever will be better than Cruijff!!!!!!
That chipshot is incredible. I see players do it when the goalkeeper charges, but nobody has enough controll to chip it like that when the whole team crowds the 6 yard box. Nobody today even tries it.
if you knew anything about football, you would know that cruijff revolusionised soccer,
true legend.
Cruyff and Bergkamp --> Legends
one of the best players in the world never to win the world cup.....great player... superb ball control...truly gifted....
i've watched this video when i was a junior school teenager. still my fave compilation of cruyff's best goals (and also an awesome and good music by twisted sisters!).
rust in vrede, de legende. de nummer 14, mijn held. de beste voetballer ter wereld.
Amazing Compilation.
La cancion se llama Heroes Are Hard to Find de Twisted sister
The song name is Heroes Are Hard to Find from Twisted sister
those were the days.. good times. nobody was out there to hurt each other, clean defending, no crazy dangerous tackles.
Cruyff was and is above everyone else, as a player and manager
Cruyff is among the greatests, just for his vison of how football should be played...
* I just love his way of football *
this man is the reason for the success of barcelona !
i love his style of play...i wish i can be like him...^^
The best european player of the history
Dear God,
Thank you for Johan.
Le plus grand joueur de tous les temps.
Le numéro 1
2 selections that played the final of South Africa are inheritors of Cruyff.
Awesome! Great player.
What a goal at 3:55. Fantastic finish. So unpredictable.
Emotional video for a soccer legend, but this music fucks it up.
This guy had skills plus brains. One of the best ever. What a fucking player he was.
Doubtless, a soccer genious. In my opinion, Cruyff has a brilliant notion of how a player should act in purpose to make a vitorious team. If Barcelona, nowadays, is the best team in the world, Cruyff is the one whom defined Barça's success way, from the youngest players untill the professional team.
thanks for letting me now :-)
This is a hard rockin video!
Judging THE best is impossible. We get to the level of Cruyff, Best, Maradona, Zico, Messi, Gullit etc and they are all wonderfully talented and capable. Cruyff was a superb player.
What Cruijff did on the field i never saw anyone do. He was really amazing. Socatrain
he is the best.
Don't if he was the best but this guy was definatly one of the best, He did things no other player did before the CruyffTurn, remember that always, so cool
Legendaria La naranja Mecanica!
Johan Cruiff Fue un jugador Completo
Pocos jugadores puedes ocupar difenrentes posiciones como el supo hacerlo...
Igual podía defender en un contraataque como correr por la banda o anotar un gol desde tres cuartos de cancha....
Simplemente legendario
Damn! He makes it look easy
It's sad to hear that cruyff died on March 24 2016 we will never forget cruyff
I never watched Garrincha play personally because I didn't have the luck to be alive back then. But he is the biggest idol of my team, Botafogo, and ALL Botafogo fans know and think Garrincha was the best, and he was, just look at him playing and you'll realize.
i had no idea how good this guy was.
He was so much better then the rest, it was just insane. The best player of his time. Today Messi is the best. And I hope that Barca wins the CL!
my fav futbol player,, my idol..such a good player
Xavi said in an interview. "Johann Cruyff is who I try to play like. You could say more like a mentor to me."
woooow best cruyff video on youtube!
que hermosa imagen la del final, cuando todos saltan al campo a abrazar a cruyff y al resto de jugadores.

WOW!Great compilation, thanks!
In his time he was the best Football Player, in the present Messi is.
The goal in the sec 56 was sickkkk

The Football of 2010+ belongs to him.
best of his time, back then he was so much better then the rest.
Johan was the best football player ever in History !
