#3 Johan Cruyff
According to many, Johan Cruyff was the third best player to have ever played the game behind Pele and Maradona. That point will always be up for debate. However, what is not debatable is that falls in that league when it comes to being a narcissist.
He’s one of the founders of the football righteousness society where only attacking football is considered football and anything else is labelled as anti-football.
Claiming that the Amsterdam Arena “should have been called the Johan Cruyff Stadium” and “from a commercial perspective, they should have named it after me;” then saying that, “I never make a mistake because it takes a huge effort for me to be wrong;” that people should listen to him because “I won 3 Ballon d’Ors;” and that “I was six times better than today’s players,” because, “players today can only shoot with their laces, I could shoot with the inside, laces, and outside of both feet.”
There are countless more quotes which signify his extreme narcissism – so much that it wouldn’t fit in this slide.
In any corner of the world, no matter how remote, if a team is playing defensive football, Johan Cruyff appears there and makes them a subject of his wrath by giving them long and boring-to-death lectures about football righteousness.
