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

"I don't believe in God. In Spain, all 22 players cross themselves. If it works, the game is always going to be a tie."

“我不相信上帝。在西班牙，22名球员全部在祷告。如果真的有上帝，那比赛就会是平局了。”

克鲁伊夫对足球和生活也有自己独特又深刻的看法：

"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is."

“踢足球很容易，但把足球踢简单却是最难的事情。”

"Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring."

“只求质量不求结果，毫无意义。只求结果不求质量，十分枯燥。”
