A great story from Johan Cruyff's time as Barcelona manager 🗣️ “Individually, they already bordered on the uncoachable. Together, Romário and Stoichkov represented an absolute nightmare to every football coach wishing to impose his authority on the team. Johan Cruyff, coaching the pair at Barcelona, often had to resort to visible demonstrations of his ability to remind them who had been the superior player.” “Romário and Stoichkov were one day arguing who the better footballer was and thus the boss of the team. Cruyff intervened and stated he was in charge and therefore he was the boss. Romário and Stoichkov mocked him for being an old man who had nothing to say. Cruyff set up a test to see who was the better player: shoot ten balls from the edge of the box at the crossbar. The one with the most hits won.” “The whole team gathered around and Stoichkov began. He hit the bar only twice. Next was Romário, who hit the bar three times and declared himself the best. Then Cruyff stepped up and hit the bar no less than six times.” “He told the pair to shut up and take orders. Romário and Stoichkov responded by saying it was just luck and that they had had a bad day - after which Cruyff suddenly turned around, hit another ball with his left foot and struck the bar yet again, leaving the complete team in awe. Years later, Cruyff said the last shot was the only lucky shot he took.”

@xGrumpPer90 Makes no sense over analyzing wins,victories etc in pre season. A lot of tired muscles out there in pre season,training overload ,new players bedding in,coaches trying out different systems,requiring players to rest on the ball more,etc,etc. Analysis is for the season tbh

God will not judge you on the bases of what you know, rather He will judge you on the basis of what you do with what you know. The judgement of God will be greater for anyone who knows the truth and fail to do it.😇🙏🏽✝️📖❤️💭
