Johan Cruyff on Suarez’s move to Barcelona

ju

Cruyff has been largely responsible for setting up Barcelona to become one of the greatest clubs ever.Fantastic players like Koeman, Romario, and Guardiola were his proteges.
Guardiola followed in his footsteps as Barcelona manager and led the club to multiple La Liga titles and Champions League titles.
Cruyff has been described thus.. “Cruyff was its coach, the head coach of the entire club from the academy up.”
Now he looks at the way things are going and expresses his misgivings and fears for the future of the club that he helped bring to where they are.

“I am happy that Germany won the World Cup. They are playing the kind of football that Barcelona are distancing themselves from. That feeling has only gotten stronger with the signing of Luis Suarez.

He is a great player, but has a complicated character. I don’t know how they plan to play free-flowing attacking football with Messi, Neymar and Suarez in one team. They are all players who rely on their individual actions.

In signing him [Suarez], the club are showing a preference for individual genius over a team that plays great football. The style of play they developed under Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola is being abandoned.”
