Guardiola reflects what would have been of Barça without Cruyff
“The last match. 40 years of Johan Cruyff in Catalunya" – this is the title of the programme broadcasted on Tuesday night by the Catalan state television TV3. These are the best quotes of the show.
Johan Cruyff
- "Ajax had sold me to Madrid, but I don't accept commands. Barça didn't have anything, if we speak about football, so it was a challenge to play at the club that represented Catalunya. More than a club."
- "The problem is that the Catalans can't decide by themselves."
- "You always need to play football in an attractive way. It has to be a show."
- "You can't shut up a very important player."
- "The worst defect of Catalans is not going 100% for a thing... because.. what if it doesn't work?”
- "It's incredible that some people don't speak well of Guardiola, what all he has done..."
Pep Guardiola
- "He made us love this way of playing."
- "Without him we wouldn't have lived what we have to. I am sure."
- "Barça needs to be eternally thankful to him."
Xavier Hernandez
- "All of this, playing well and winning, it's his fault"
- "People like Cruyff or Guardiola... only with your presence you transmit something"
