Okay. Not everyone digs soccer/futbol. I get it. It's okay. It's |
|
entertainment after all. Whether you sport at all or have it as |
|
a break in your day - - whether it's NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, |
|
curling, rugby, whatever it is you might give your hard-earned |
|
or easy-come-by $$ to, I think we might all agree with Johan's |
|
claim here at 23m:00s-23m:15s that more important than winning |
|
is that we enjoy watching. Yes, this is why we have arrived. |
|
Thank you, FCB. Thank you, Johan. |

"Don't talk about how we won the game. No. No. We enjoyed |
|
watching." |
|
FCB 5 Las Palmas ? today. Everybody wins with this philosophy |
|
in the end. Especially when what one watches is very good. In |
|
the end, did we play well? Were we good? Did we love it? Did we |
|
respect our opponents? Did we respect those who came to see? Did |
|
we give them something beautiful to weep over? Simple, pure, |
|
pristine. |

Are you listening, Juan Carlos Unzue, Ernesto Valverde, Jorge |
|
Sampaoli, . . . . .? |
|
Juan Carlos is currently in charge of set-pieces for Barca. |
|
How's that working out for them? Ask Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos. |

Another student of Cruyff speaks: |
|
Speaking to So Foot, the former Spain international revealed how |
|
he reacts to situations to be effective on a football pitch and |
|
that he relies on the decisions he makes as he compensates for a |
|
lack of pace. |
|
When asked how he felt about Diego Maradona labelling him a |
|
'football master', Xavi said: "That's brutal, right? Coming from |
|
Maradona, an idol. |
|
"But I am not a football genius. I am just a student of Johan |
|
Cruyff's school, and Cruyff summarised football in a sentence: |
|
'Football should be played with the mind'. |
|
"I have had to use my brain to play football. I am not Kylian |
|
Mbappe. How does he play? He runs, pushes the ball, passes a |
|
player. I don't have Mbappe's legs, but I use my brain. I |
|
compensate like that. |
|
"I came to Barca when I was 11 and, from the first day, I was |
|
forced to understand everything I did. We cannot play football |
|
if we don't understand everything that happens on the pitch. It |
|
goes deeper than just the contact between the foot and the ball. |
|
"Each reflection, each question, opens new perspectives. Why are |
|
we asked to create space for each other? Or to open up the game? |
|
It's logic. |
|
"Imagine that I have the ball and I want to give it to a |
|
team-mate but an opponent is in the middle of the two of us and |
|
wants to take the ball. If there is enough space between my |
|
team-mate and l, the opponent can't do anything. |
|
"I think like: 'If he comes to me, I pass the ball to my |
|
team-mate'. And bam, the ball has already gone in the other |
|
direction. If we are in a confined space, we can easily lose the |
|
ball. That's the mantra of Cruyff.: |

|
Xavi, who left Barca in 2015 after 17 years, has won 31 trophies |
|
as a player - second only to former team-mate Andres Iniesta as |
|
the most successful Spanish player ever: |

The quintessential Cruyff-look as coach with trench coat and |
|
without the chain-smoking which apparently did him in: |

Xavi, get your coaching license. Back to Barca one day. So far |
|
so good for Ernesto. |
