Pelé was once asked, "how does it feel to be the best player in the world? " on which he replied, "I dont know you have to ask Johan Cruijff"

This the greatest Football Players of all time from the Netherlands he was loved all over the world R.I.P to a legend🕊🕊

This man was special.Not only for the Dutch. He is highly respected in Spain as well. In my country of Portugal he is known as one of the best players of all time.

YES YES YES YES i was here, i coulnd't handle all the goosebumps, i cried, first i feeled a shame, but then i saw 99% had tears......

"Before the match starts a lot of players and fans are praying, I never understood that. If there was a God and if he would treat everybody as equal , every match would be ending up in a draw game" -Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

I'm from Belgium, we are neighbors with the Netherlands and somewhat rivals when it comes to football. But I can honestly say Cruyff was genius. He understood the game on a different level. He was basically the man behind the succes Barcelona had for years and years. This tribute gets me every time.. ♥️

As a Dutch viewer, thank you for reacting to this tribute. Johan Cruijff is the greatest footballer in our country's history, and all in all one of the greatest of all time in the world as well. His philosophy of 'Total Football' changed how the game was played forever, and he influenced many managers to this day, one well known example being the massively succesful Pep Guardiola. Seeing this tribute again put a tear in my eye.

Cruijff literally changed how the game of football is played forever. From amsterdam(ajax), being sung to one final time in the ajax-stadium by the ajaxcrowd....brr still hits me like a truck, damn

I was in the stadium. Watching this still give me goosebumps. Johan was not only the best player, but also the best coach. No one had a bigger influence on the game than Johan.

Before he past away the name of the football stadium was: Amsterdam Arena. Now it's called the Johan Cruyff Arena. ❌❌❌ Ajax Amsterdam ❤❤❤

His name was huge as a football player, and even bigger as a trainer. This was AJAX Amsterdam. FC Barcelona did the same for our Johan Cruijf, a complete stadium full of people in Barcelona because he did huge things for the club Barcelona. Without the many, many Dutch players and trainers who did huge things in Barcelona the football club would not be one of the biggest clubs in the world. We Dutch have reinvented football/soccer and everyone in the world agrees on that. Because the word "total football", is now used all over the world thanks to RINUS MICHELS R.I.P. who passed it on to Johan Cruijf.

There was a time that 4 of the 5 people on EARTH knew who Johan Cruijff was. The stadium you see is named after him, the Johan Cruijff Arena. And yes, his sayings and one liners not only enriched the Dutch language, but also the Spanish language! The people you see standing on the pitch are all ex-Ajax Amsterdam players some of them who played with Johan.

The capacity of the Johan Cruijf Arena is 55.500, and it looks like it was sold out so that's how many people were there. He was the best Dutch footballplayer ever. Every Dutch footballlover knows him. Most foreign footballlovers know him as well. He became an icon at Ajax and moved to Barcelona later on. The tribute was because he passed away because of cancer. Another thing why people remember him was because of his one liners as you said. The most iconic one liner he said was: "elk nadeel, heeft zijn voordeel". With the accent of Amsterdam of course. It means: "every disadvantage, has its advantage". He didn't came up with it, but it's the most iconic thing he said. Something he came up with was: "Je moet schieten, anders scoor je niet". Which means: "You have to shoot, otherwise you can't score". If you wanna know more, there's loads of info on google about him, and Im sure there are video's about him as well. I recommend to look him up

"The average of a team is determined by its weakest player." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

This is a André Hazes song. Typically Dutch to do something like this, everybody was one in that moment. And I don't even like football😅

I was there on the first ring north stand, once an Ajax supporter always an Ajax supporter, but this was in sweet loving memory of Ajax and The Netherlands best football player ever :). The red & white shirt on the pitch is Ajax home jersey, the one in orange of our national team and of course blue/purple one is FC Barcelona's jersey. Johan Cruijff & AFCA CBS :)

I was there… crying my eyes out. RIP the greatest of all time ❌❌❌

I emigrated in 2005, so I was not there with this amazing tribute, but I was on the pitch a few times in the Arena with big events, like in 2000 when Ajax celebrated their 100 year anniversary, and Johan actually played that day, together with many legendary players from the team that won everything in the early 1970s.

Johan had indeed some legendary sayings, ridicully simple but true as hell. On the field, when you make a mistake, you have to, before making that mistake, not make this mistake at all. Or... When you dont have the ball you cannot score a goal 😁 Last one: when we have the ball, they cannot score. All true and obvious but out of his mouth words of wisdom. And funny 😂

the greatest football/soccer player in europe from the last century

I think he is the biggest football idol. He was not only one of the all time best players. But he changed football to how we know it now a day. Some say messi and ronaldo are beter what might be true in goals/assist. But what he has done for football has not be done yet.

He was the greatest of all time every thing he touched turned in to gold.

R.i.p Johan Cruijff ❌❌❌🇳🇱 Great to see you react on our country and our legends 👊🏼❤️

I was there that day man, the stadium now holds approximately 55,500 - 56,000 people. Johan Cruijff was the biggest Ajax (football club from Amsterdam) icon there has ever been, and probably the most well known Dutch person world wide. I personally believe there isn't a tribute big enough to honour his accomplishments/contributions for Dutch football and football in general. But it was special to be there that day. Keep up the reactions man, I really enjoy them!

I was here! It was amazing, I never have seen my dad crying but this was the first time I saw him tearing up

I was there and it was unbelievable😍

I was there. I've been to many Ajax games but this one was by far the most memorable. I get chills every time I see this video

I was there it was Ajax Feyenoord Johan cruijff just past away a few days before the game and this was so beautiful

Goosebumps and a tear. Thank you Johan

I was there, I'm a season ticket holder. And this is the first time I witnessed something like that. still gives me goosebumps, till this day. Thanks for reaction brother mad love.

He was a very special man, in the Netherlands he is still 1of the most famous en beloved man of all kind, his words we call it cruijffiaans could fill a book and are still jused by a lott off people. 1 of them is , ever disadvantage has a advantage (ieder nadeel heb zijn voordeel) or if you score 1 goal more as your apponent you never lose. He was 1 of the biggest soccerplayers from the world. He played in Amerca to. Afther his career the became a trainer for Barcelona, Ajax and more. He grunded the Johan Cruyff Fondation they build (untill this day) little soccerfields and playgrounds in the aria were people are pore and to keep them from going the wrong way he tryed to get them in to sports. He always say every child deserves the right to play and be a kid. This video still gives me chills and tears.

I was there and stood there with tears in my eyes and singen my vocal cord broken it was beautiful

It always blows my mind when i again and again realize how powerfull music is.

This still gives me goosebumps, watching it again

Even though i am a supporter from PSV Eindhoven, i just cried my eyes out

Great person johan Cruijff. And football player .thanks fore the reaction he deserved this . Rip Johan

We missen hem nog elke dag❤

Ehm a little bit to late but i was there! And it was amazing before the stadium we walked with 10.000 people to the stadium singing songs for johan cruijff it was amazing!!!

Now that i watch this again, it hurts. Rip legend

Johan Legend ❤1️⃣4️⃣❤ Cruijff

It was over 54.000 people in the stadium

Not only was he so much more football than just the best player of the 70's, he was also much bigger than football. And not just for the Netherlands. - He emancipated the professional football player, from a 'take your pay and shut up' employee to them controlling their own commercial interests. He was a bit of a rebel. - He was the figurehead of the new free and self condfident free spirited Netherlands with their long hair but actually very disciplined 'Total Football', the Clockwork Orange that has never stopped impressing the world. - He was a style icon like David Beckham, while he protected the privacy of his gorgeous wife. - He introduced the car lease to the Netherlands in his contract with Citroen, about getting a Citroen-Maserati (talking about style). - He did not only give FC Barcelona it's footballing pride back by humiliating Real Madrid, there was a fascist dictatorship back then in Spain and all Catalonian identity was oppressed. Speaking Catalan was outlawed, just like Catalan names. While playing for Barcelona he registered his new born son in Amsterdam. He called him 'Jordi', the illegal Catalan version of 'Jorge' and Sant Jordi is the patron saint of Catalonia. You can imagine how that news went down in Catalonia and the regime in Madrid. - He has enriched the Dutch language with several sayings and expressions that will last, more than any writer. He had a lot of 'Yogi Berra's' too. - He is said to have enriched the Spanish language too, and flabbergasted the English when he was a pundit there. He was the kind of man that could express himself excellently in a language he didn't master. A great communicator in his own way. His Dutch was also not the kind that would make a teacher happy, but was understood by everyone. - He has changed football forever. Unlike some I won't take anything away from Michels in inventing Total Football at Ajax and the Clockwork Orange, but he took it into the 90's and beyond. Without him no Tikki-Taka, no Barcelona greatness, no Guardiola and a different Messi. - In the autumn of his football career he went to Ajax rival Feyenoord out of rancour (he was no saint, he was a difficult character) and made them champions. He broke the rivalry barrier, this rivalry has grown far too intense since but his death united all of football and all of the Netherlands. - He has always been the strongest force for youth academies in football, with both Ajax and Barcelona as exponents. - He has always been the strongest force for 'street football' as the birth place of skill. There are now Cruijff courts all over the Netherlands and even outside. Just kids playing football in their neighbourhood, after school and after dinner again. - He was by far the best pundit, leaving you wondering how the manager of either playing teams could be this stupid. - His most iconic image is not him caressing the ball with his right or left foot like he could like no other, it's him directing play, there was always something on top of just being the greatest player. I didn't always agree with him, I don't believe he was the greatest manager/coach in the world, I didn't like his interference with the board of Ajax, he played the pollitics of football dirty sometimes and he was often too big to work with in a normal way. But with all the good and the little bad he was who he was and such a larger than life national icon other counties simply don't have. My mother didn't give a shit about football but she surely cared about Cruijff. Sometimes I think you have to ignore how great he was a player and manager to truly understand his greatness as a person and icon. .

"Play the game as it should be played. Football is made for the spectators. They most enjoy seeing the attack, so you have to attack." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

R.I.P. to Johan Cruijff & Andre Hazes

I was here! One of the most special games I’ve ever been. Together with the first game after Appie collapsed. Can’t compare the atmosphere in the stadium during those 2 games with any other ❌❌❌

I was there. Goosebumps then and also now while watching this. RIP Johan

he is holy to football

when my youngest son, who loves football/soccer turned 14. I ordered him an Ajax shirt. Besides his name on the back, I asked him what number he wanted. He was born the 13th of May. So I expected 13. But he said no, I want number 14. It's the number of Johan Cruijff. You talked a lot about him and my grandfather too. I watched his videos on KZfaq and he gave me goosebumps. It's not just with his generation. Wherever I was in the World, if they knew I was from the Netherlands, everyone would start talking about him.

"It's better to go down with your own vision, then with the vision of somebody else" - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

I was there man it was wonderfull. It was a true legend and johan cruijf deserve this

Every home game for the last 30 years i have been there.. AFC AJAX CBS XXX

What an emotional day. Rip Johan Cruijff.

Tears in my eyes again

Yes, I was there holding a card. It was one of my first matches I visited of Ajax, now I have a season ticket.

That song. thanks . cant get it out of my brain now. But yeah you are right!

We all.love Johan💜👌⚽️👌🎈R.I.P You certainly must check his soccerskills...than you understand.. Thanks for your sharing.. I 🙏😇💜🧘‍♀️🌍🙏

I was at the game and i had goosebumps for like 5 minutes man hè is the biggest legend from ❌❌❌ the one and only 14

For an American it is difficult to comprehend or better to feel, but he is for the dutch soccer/football comparable with Babe Ruth in baseball and like Michael Jordan in basketball. He is from the likes of Maradonna, Pele and Messi.

There were many great football players, there were many football coaches, there were many great football philosophers, only one who was all three, 14.

"If you see a player sprint, then he has started too late" - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

every sport played stopped for a moment at 14 minutes in their game. 14 was his number in the national team of the netherlands. He was magnificent.

Was there. One of the most special stadium moments in my life!

Even as a feyenoorder this is goosebumbs

"The time that I carried money is long behind me. I always bring my name and my face." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

My neighbour had a downpart piece from the 2 from 2016. And i am honoured that in 1994 i went on the picture with Johan Cruijff and got his autograph in a football(voetbalboek)book from that year🙏

I was not in the stadion.I have walked with my husband,son and daughter in the march for Johan Cruijff across Amsterdam. Our whole familie is a big fan of Johan Cruijff and Ajax .My daughter was intervieuwed by the show called "jeugd journal" (youth journal the kids version of the news) She called Johan:" the best soccer player of the world"❤ He died to young of long cancer.You must do some researche about him and about what soccer means for our land. Soccer is for the Netherlands what American football for the USA is.

Yes i was there . Goose bumps until today

Forever our inspiration. Forever Johan Cruijff. ♥️ What a Emotional Farewell 😪😪from this fantastic Football ⚽ player ever. Forever no. 1️⃣4️⃣ Thank You 🌻🌻🌻🌻❤️

in the netherlands there are some songs every one knows play them at a bar and you get this

I was crying when holding it up

Johan def. was amongst the ver best soccerplayers in the world, he changed the way soccer is played. R.I.P. Johan, you will be sorely missed. Maybe you can react to Max Verstappen winning the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort last week. It was the first dutch GP in 36 years, and Max was the first dutchy to win this home GP. And ofc. Max is wel on his way of becomming the "Johan Cruijff" of the F1 world. There are a lot of video`s to choose from, but i would suggest one that captures also the 70.000 fans (the orange army) cheering on Max.

In Barcelona they called him “el salvadore” the liberater. Because catalans where always discriminated on. And when he came he changed the world of footbal. And after the dictatorship, and not being allowed to speak their own laguage. And forced labor murders. He came to barcalona after the dictator was gone. Had he liberated the club and the people and won from real madrid and became champion. For the catalan people that felt like we are finally free. And just as important as the other people in spain.

supporters of different club where in that stadium , even from feynoord the rival of ajax. just to honor this person its great

Johan Cruijff was the best Dutch player ever. Another recommendation, check out Liverpools rendition of Youll Never Walk Alone. It’s football’s most famous anthem. Great videos lad!

Dude I love your digital journey through our country! To know who Johan Cruijff was, check out this video please: "Johan Cruijff Is Art" Its exactly 14 minutes long, because he is the legendary nr 14. Greetings from The Netherlands!

One of the best players in the world, and the best player from the Netherlands till this date

Johan came from Amstedam Oost, just a kid kicking ball, then came Ajax, i know him from our pub, the whole Ajaxteam came there.

I was in the office heen the news came hé died Out of nowhere I cried

I was there, had a card for the season. Vak422, just in right top corner. Was a very special day.

Music Andre Hazes, who's tribute was in the same stadium!

"People say life is a flow. That's correct. When I tried to spit against the wind recently, it landed in my own face." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

It was the best atmosphere I've ever seen in this stadium when is visit ajax for the match

Yes! i was there

Fun fact! This was the same stadium as the Andre Hazes tribute. Another fun fact! The song playing here is a song from Andre Hazes!

I was there!

Ajax Amsterdam, can't be stopped! Cruijff was the biggest football player in the world. He was much more than a football player, he (and AJAX) changed football forever. (look for Totaal football) Cruijff used to have Nr14 on his shirt, after he died Ajax decided no one, ever again could wear Nr14. (within Ajax off course) This was filmed in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, which can seat 55.000 people.

"First point, there is only one ball so you've got to have that one, but the essence is: what are you then going to do with that ball?" - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

Song is from Andre Hazes. Biggest singer ever in the Netherland. Song for the world most biggest football trainer

"I absolutely hate a player that moves, but doesn't know where." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

This song is from Andre Hazes senior, it is the same stadium where his tribute was (with Xander).

"I love working! As long as it is work that I love ..." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

"Often something has to happen, before something happens" - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

(on TV analysis) "When I come home from a TV interview, Danny (wife) always asks "what did you say?". Then I reply "For the life of me, I can't remember" - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

I was here it most of the Ajax matches are with this song but thuis was the most remeberable one

Yes i was here. The biggest player in the dutch history

There where more people outside the stadium Its called the Johan Cruijff Arena now

"I've got an office in Barcelona. But you'll never find me there, cause I don't like paper." - Johan Cruijff - 1947 - 2016

After he died the name of the stadium is changed in Johan Cruijff Arena and also in Barcelona they named a stadium after him!

I don't like soccer. Never have. But Johan Cruyff was special, an icon of Dutch soccer. And as such I'm immensely proud of him.

The song is from Andre Hazes and John was one of the world football player.
