“However good an English team is, they will always have an additional advantage. It is that European players know that their English opponents will come at them in the belief they will win, and they can always be guaranteed never to stop fighting. They have a natural aggression that they are born with. If it ever goes, English football will lose its most valuable dimension.” IfsKnowsFightingWinningBeliefBornLosesNaturalPlayerTeamFootballAdvantageValuableSoccerAnalysisOpponentsDimensionsAggressionEnglish Football Author:Johan Cruijff

“The hardest thing about an easy match is making a weak opponent play poor. A poor player isn't poor because he tends to kick the ball in his own goal. It's because when you put intense pressure on him, he loses control. So you have to increase the tempo of the game and he'll automatically give the ball away.” GivingPlayGamesEasyGoalLosesPoorPlayerWeakBallsIncreasePressureIntenseHardestOpponentsKicksHardest ThingTempo Author:Johan Cruijff
