There will be always a full stop in the history of the FC Barcelona from the arrival of Johan Cruyff. "The lean", this man hit to a suck chups that from the band gave lessons learnt in one of the teams that better football have practised: the Holland of the 70. The person that revolutionised the game without carné of trainer because it did not need it. His head went always by in front of everything and there was not at all that they could teach him.
Johan arrived to Can Barça and gave him a canvas in white to do in him what wanted to. The Dutch, virtuosista and psychologist (something difficult between the genii), converted this inert cloth and inanimada in all a dream. And no because his team went considered the best during years (that it was it), but because what Cruyff gestó in the City Condal was all a school.
And this that Jopie took in 1988 an entity devastated by the "nuñismo" during years and with a changing room that months before had loomed with a riot, the famous of the Esperia. In his moment was not neither the first option of the irreverent Núñez but showed to be the only possible. It was the man that taught the way, the one who did a legion of followers by all the globe and by which the FC Barcelona, really, is more than a club. Cruyff Accustomed to the barcelonismo to the victory and to anger when this did not arrive.
Four years after taking a team without soul turned it into the "Dream Team", with his culmen in Wembley. This day forged the most wonderful legend that has arrived us until our days. A trainer that the most important day of his career, took to his pupilos and said them that they enjoyed, at all more than this. "When you go out to the field look the terracing, all this have done it for you. So go out to the field and enjoy", said. And they enjoyed. And still they enjoy. Thanks to a genius. To a fucked genius.
It would go out of the Camp Nou in 1996, no of the best ways, but having left the germ of a football that, decades afterwards, would flower in all a model and example. The dream of Cruyff turned into reality and he lived to see it. And it is that this FC current Barcelona that to so many enamora, to the equal that did the one of Pep, drinks of comport them of the of Johan. Everything with what can surprise us already invented it Cruyff does decades. False nueves, go out with three defences, this mediocentro that incrusta of head office, the penaltis indirect… All already went through the aventajada head of the Teacher influencing, to his time, in the minds of a good bunch of apprentices that now give good balompié by all Europe.
That is the best memory that has been able to leave a man of legend. Anybody imagines what would have been of the Barça without him. Anybody imagines what would have been of the football without you. Thank you "Lean", already you extrañamos.
