There are two dates in the modern history that are particularly important for Barcelona. The first is October 28, 1973, when Barcelona won against Granada with 4:0. This is considered to be the date that makes the team from `the darkness`. The other was May 20, 1992, when the `dream team` won the first CACHE. Both dates are associated with the genius of Johan Cruyff, who died at 68 years after losing a battle with cancer.
As a football player, Johan Cruyff is known as one of the greatest in the history of football. It is the level of Di Stefano, Pele and Maradona. As coach Cruyff made a revolution in football.
Raised on the streets around the stadium of AJAX, he was immersed in a culture that loves and takes care of the ball. Hence his philosophy about football, about the creation of their own school. Cruyff`s views have always been linked to the attack, the attack as a weapon to attack and defense.
The model, which starts from Cruyff to Luis Enrique is related to dominance of Josep Guardiola, the symbol of football in recent years, Lionel Messi. This is the most successful in the history of Barcelona stage associated with the five won the trophy of the Champions League (cache) and the `DNA` of Barcelona.
On May 4, 1988, the President of Barcelona Josep Luis Nunez announced that Johan Cruyff is the new coach of the team. Johann returns to the Camp Nou, after leaving the team as a player in 1978. He had been a trainer at Ajax since 1985 to 1988, winning 2 Cups of the Netherlands and 1 Cup of the country.
The first messages of Cruyff to his players is: `Who`s not happy can go.`
Cruyff needs time to impose his style of playing and to restore the team.
His balance as a coach of Barcelona in figures is: 4 Championship titles, 1 King`s Cup, 1 Winners` Cup, 1 Cache, 3 Super Cups of Spain.
