World Cup recommendation: Barça godfather Cruyff is inherited by Messi Group stage analysis
The Netherlands rose in the 1970s with all players who can attack and defend, LDSPORTS analysis that everyone can play any position except the goalkeeper "all-round football", the leader is Johan Cruyff, he has won the Golden Ball 3 times, led the team to win the World Cup runner-up and third place 1 time, hung up his boots and coached the player era played for Barcelona, establishing the team's passing football style that is still used today, and currently the mainstream 4-3-3 formation, and Messi, who was born in the Barça youth training system, can be said to be his legacy, which can be called the godfather.
Johan Cruyff was born in the Dutch famous Ajax, has helped the team win the European Championship three times, because of the top level of dribbling skills, shooting, speed, coupled with creativity and breakthrough thinking, known as "Bydergolas in Boots", Hong Kong-led Chinese circle fans called it "Flyer", and later the top wingers in the Netherlands continued to use the same title.
His illustrious career continued to move to Spanish giants Barcelona, and the coaching order after hanging up his boots was also Ajax and then Barcelona, and in 1992 he led Barca to win the first Champions League in team history, and also laid the foundation for the Red and Blue Army's passing philosophy and youth training center La Masia, in addition to Messi, the 2008-12 Spanish establishment of a dynasty midfielder Xavi, Andres Iniesta can also be regarded as his proud
Bear. His football philosophy has formed a systematic philosophy, and the more classic exposition may be what he himself said: "Football is composed of different elements: technique, tactics, endurance. ...... You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and risk-taking. Technique is not a ball played 1,000 times, then anyone can practice to do it and then work in a circus. Technique is to touch the ball and pass it at the same time, giving your teammates the right speed to use their feet."
"Victory is only a day, but fame can last a lifetime. Winning is important, but having your own style and having someone imitate and appreciate you is the biggest gift." Johan Cruyff has always insisted that football must be played in a "correct" and "beautiful" style, "Quality without good results is meaningless, good results without quality are boring." Simple football is the most beautiful, but simple is the hardest."
Now he is also credited with the diversified selection of back numbers on the football field. Originally, the soccer player's jersey number completely corresponded to the position on the field, but he once defeated a strong opponent by lending the No. 9 he wore to his teammates and grabbing the substitute No. 14 on the field, and since then it has been regarded as a lucky number, and in addition to being used in the relatively open Dutch league, it has also been brought to the international competition, so that the international football association has gradually loosened its dynamics, so now players can basically choose any number below three digits.
Unfortunately, he is one of the most well-known smoking guns in football, and is a heavy smoker, premature damage to his cardiopulmonary function, and he stubbornly does not listen to his personality, and even never thought of quitting smoking, so he died in 2016 due to terminal treatment of lung cancer at the age of 68, and he has no chance to see his favorite 4-3-3 popular again in the Champions League and this World Cup.
