One of the best compilations i've ever seen of this amazing player, able to play at any position in the pitch, using either the inside or outside of both feet, his speed, his intelligence, his astonishing skills, his unstoppable acceleration... Unfortunely he only attended one World Cup as he refused to play in Argentina 78 missing a second chance to win the world championship. One of the greatest, if not the greatest.
Cruyff had been my fav Player of all time the mist complete great video and some unique footage Cruyff was dazzling and dangerous everywere on the pitch h is top 4?ever for me the more I watch the more I see who great all round he was a total footballer with a unique football brain m favs were Cruyff Pele Best Maradonna Greaves Di Stefano And the Brazilian Ronaldo and Zico I also loved Micheal Laudrub as well and Zidane and in the modern game over the last 20 years Messi stands alone my top 10 would Maradonna 2 Messi 3 Pele Cruyff R9 Ronaldo Best Di Stefano Zico Zidane Franz Beckenbeur
@@renlo6793 Great comments mate. Cruyff was indeed a supreme total footballer. The best European player & playmaker I've ever seen, who controlled matches from start to finish. The ball was *_his_* , in every possible way. I only rate the South America trio Pelé, Maradona, Messi, ahead of him. And mostly because they won the world cup. My T10 would be: 1. Pelé or Messi 🇧🇷🇦🇷 2. Messi or Pelé🇦🇷🇧🇷 3. Maradona🇦🇷 4. Cruyff🇳🇱 5. Di Stéfano🇦🇷 6. Best🇬🇧 7. Beckenbauer🇩🇪 8. Zico🇧🇷 9. Ronaldo 🇧🇷 10. Zidane🇫🇷
He was an incredible player who was two-footed with extraordinary spatial awareness, incredible speed, brilliant ball control, balletic balance, a great goalscorer and an exceptional crosser and passer of the ball. A trademark move of his was to cross the ball from the left side with the outside of his right boot.
Yes, he was all those things. Plus his movement of the ball, to exploit the opposition weak area's & his tracking back, to read dangerous situations was sensational, with immaculately timed, tackling/interceptions. Him, Pelé, Di Stéfano, are the most complete, all round players I've seen.
@@johnpacino007 yeah he was a tremendous all round player who could defend very well in addition to his attacking game. He was one of the best passers/crossers ever with his outside boot acute angled crosses and passes out of this world.
Bellissimo video che ci propone tante giocate inedite del grande Johan, grazie. Per me' il più grande della storia. Comunque musica inappropriata e fastidiosa , almeno secondo me'.
May be it is totally wrong but it always seems to me that him and messi had a copy paste making decision process. It agreed that leo and diego had a similar technique. However, regarding the style of play messi is more johan than diego especially his two version with pep in 2011 and 2012. People claim that version of messi starting from 2015 to 2019 is better than pep version but i completely disagree dut to the fact that his workrat on the pitch goes down i liked how energetic he was in the begining and this is not due to phisycal condition it was just his decision.
That's all true. Cruyff brought a brand of football to Barcelona & Spanish football in general. La Maisa was the foundation for young boys to be versed into that brand of 1970s Dutch total football, with the emphasis on ball retentions, pressing & high backlines. Messi, Guardiola, Xavi, Iniesta, etc, all owe an enormous debt to him. No Pep with tiki-taka, winning double UCL. And Spain winning 2peat Euro & World Cup in between.
@@johnpacino007 but i think spain inherted the concept of positional play and add alot of dimensions i do not mean development but just with their own way sometimes they were accused that they are boring. Evena some deep analyctical articles accused pep of being paragametic. I think he is more van gaal guy than cruyff but cruyff is more favourite to be linked with in media.
See the Bergkamp-like touch that he performs here 3:03? If the defender ( who seemed to be playing the man and not the ball ) hadn't knocked him off balance, he'd have been able to shoot immediately after the turn. 3 defenders grouped around him, after he'd eliminated the first, and they wouldn't have been able to stop him getting his shot off, such was his control in that instance. Genius!
@@a_guinness It's a fantastic piece of ball supplementation, as he cow tails the ball with the instep, in a quick back to front spin. Just a brilliant peice of improvisation. Just before that at 2:56, he beats the man with a shoulder drop, without touching the ball. Something Messi does all the time lol.
Thanks John great upload - The more I watch Cruyff the more impressed I am, unlike Pele where it feels the opposite for some reason. My Top 5 would be 1. Lionel Messi 2. Maradona 3. Pele 4. Puskas 5. Di Stefano You could change the order to include Cruyff and I would'nt argue. I had to include Puskas simply because of his insane stats that are similar to Messi's. - 600 + goals and 300 + assists. It was back in the 50's so I don't know if they've been inflated. Jimmy Greaves actually put Brazil great Garrincha above Cruyff but these things are always subjective.
@bt6602 Thanks mate. I tend to have: Pelé, Maradona, Messi, all together on one tier. As a goat case could be made for any one of them. They pushed the envelope higher than any other players in terms of slalom dribble goals ( Pelé, Messi ). Dribbling ( Maradona , Messi ). Freestyle skills ( Pelé, Maradona). Then I'd have behind them: Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Zidane. I tend to rate players that were not only great club players. But great international football players for country. Especially at world cups.
@@johnpacino007for me Most Complete player- 1st Pele Greatest of all time- 1st Messi Reason Pele was Dribbler playmaker Goalscorer had Strength speed heading powerful feet. Messi lack athletic things like Strength speed heading power in legs becoz he was born with disease GHD with effect the growth of the body causing decrease muscle mass and retarded height he had undergone into treatment just attain body like normal man. Despite of this physical condition messi reach to pele levels in every thing like Playmaking Dribbling consistency and Goalscoring even Messi had better defence stats than Ronaldo
I would incluide George Best & John Charles as they could both go comfortbaly in an all time list. But it's still Messi or Maradona for No 1 spot, whichever people prefer. I'm actually siding towards Lionel Messi, he was like a combination hybrid of George Best and Jimmy Greaves. The dribbling of Best and the execution and left footed curled finishes of Greavsie which Messi did alot of. Not a bad combo!
@@johnpacino007 the only two players that were exceptional (god given) were cruyff and maradona. the other great players (pele, messi etc.) are players that are good but not of the superior class of those two. you cant compare zidane, beckenbauer or puskas with a genius like cruyff.
@@pescator1927Agree. Yhe only two players in history that were also the perfect leaders. Only they could shift the level of a complete Team. Concerning this perhaps Zidane could be compared. But Maradona and Cruyff were by far more skillful
My main answer to what you've posed, would be... Could the player hold their own, playing on the same pitch with or against: Pelé, Maradona, Messi? In the case of Johan Cruyff & the same for Alfredo Di Stéfano, George Best? The answer is a resounding YES!
@@johnpacino007 I do not see Messi among those to whom your answer applies. He is a player who is supported wherever he plays, whether Barcelona, Paris or Argentina, and there is no pressure on him if he loses, as other colleagues bear it, as happened in the 2014 World Cup, and in 2022 he received penalties at the start of each match. And we did not see him decisive under difficult or challenging circumstances, he is only a propaganda player greeting the sponsoring companies with FIFA
@@ayman3715 I think it's fair to say. His international football career with his nation Argentina, as been a rocky affair, from 2005-2020. Encompassing, almost the entirety of his international football career & a four final loss, in his 1st 4 of 6 national finals, with Argentina. That's a considerable amount of international football final lossess. Unheard of from any previous great's of the game. I think the reason he was able to ride that out. Was he was the go-to-man of his generation. So social media, fanboys, tv pundits, youtube football content creators, etc, kept backing him time & time again, when he failed, until he got it right at the 2022 World Cup. In Pelé's era. There were so many great ball players. That had he failed so many times like Messi. Other great players would have taken his spot. ( Garrincha, Charlton, Rivera, Eusébio, Mazzola, Beckenbauer, Best, Cruyff, etc ) Messi is way above any other player of his generation. That no-one else could capitalise on his failures. Barring Cristiano's UCL / Euro tournament win campaigns, between 2014-2018.
@@johnpacino007 Thank you, Mr. John, for your understanding and wonderful response. I think few people understand football like you. May God bless you.
Ayman ,non penso proprio che per essere il più forte c è bisogno dell' etichetta di campione del mondo.Se così fosse allora tutti i giocatori che hanno vinto la coppa del mondo sarebbero più forti di Cruijff , invece tra questi ci sono stati tantissimi brocchi. Johan fra l' altro ha vinto tre Champions e una coppa del mondo mondo per club oltre i tre palloni d' oro. Comunque il suo modo di giocare era unico e geniale. Per me' il più grande della storia.
