Johan Cruijff Mistake Quotations

Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.

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

I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong

Football is about making mistakes. Who makes the most, loses the game.

Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake.

A counter-attack can only arise when you make a mistake. That's why there are rules. A horizontal pass? Prohibited. In my line-up there are as many lines as possible. Because you must have the option to pass the ball forward, even if it's a meter. Because then I can still make up for the loss of possession. After a horizontal pass this is impossible.

Players that aren't true leaders but try to be, always bash other players after a mistake. True leaders on the pitch already assume others will make mistakes.
