The aptly called Cruyfian sayings have been immortalised in collective consciousness of Dutch people. They are the type of expressions that one puts on tiles and hangs in the bathroom. Very recognisable as well as we know immediately it was something Johan had said due to it’s “I mean, It makes sense when you think about it” flair
Maybe should translate some of them.
I think his most famous one here is:
“To play football is very simple. But the most difficult thing to do is play simple football.”
Also:
“If I had wanted for you to understand me, I would have done a better job explaining.”
“You have to shoot. Otherwise you can’t score.”(Sounds better in Dutch lol)
“Before I make a mistake, I make sure not to make it.”
