Since 1998, I have been the godfather of football

Rivaldo, the core midfielder of the Brazilian national team and Barcelona, ​​is one of the few players in the world who can perfectly combine competitiveness and appreciation.

He has all the physical and technical advantages of South American players, as well as the tough character of European players. When he retired, he was even called "the last football art".

weakness is……

Sometimes he is too "alone" on the court and cannot implement the coach's tactical arrangements.

Just in 1999.

Rivaldo will win the World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or awards.

Barcelona offered him a liquidated damages of US$9600 million, which shows how important Rivaldo is to Barcelona today.

Absolutely dangerous man!

He made a comment to Rivaldo in his mind.

Qin Feng's eyes moved.

Among the Barcelona players, one has a huge, eye-catching hooked nose, slightly curly black hair, and a big No. 7 on his back.

Luis Figo!

The leader of Portugal's golden generation and a world-class right winger.

Breaking through is elegant and leisurely. In addition to his strong offensive ability, he also has outstanding wing defense and perfectly integrates into Barcelona's total offense and defense system.

This is also a killer figure who must be guarded against!

His eyes swept around.

Barcelona's lineup is star-studded.

"Gentle Killer" Sony Anderson is known for his outstanding footwork and keen sense of smell in front of goal.

Spanish international players Sergi, Abelardo and Enrique who played against the Liaodong team in Wulihe, Shengjing.

The future midfield master is now the 18-year-old Xavi who has just been transferred to the Barcelona first team.

There is also the "Dutch Gang" created by head coach Louis van Gaal.

Dutch international, Philippe Cocu is a "heavy shooter" who can play multiple positions in the midfield.

The left winger of the Dutch national team, Zenden, transferred from Eindhoven last season.

Reiziger, who came from the youth training of Ajax in the Netherlands, has "thick lips" like two sausages hanging from his mouth.

There is also a super shooter who also came from the Ajax youth training.

Dutchman Patrick Kluivert!

He has excellent height, strength, explosive power, jumping, and flexibility. He is also very capable of retreating and playing the ball. He can be called an all-around technical center.

weakness is……

The ability to seize opportunities in front of goal is average!

Shut down the system.

Qin Feng chuckled.

Can he still be called an "all-round center" if he can't seize opportunities in front of goal?

The system is sometimes unreliable.

Then he glanced at Zhao Junze, who was standing with Rivaldo in the Barcelona lineup.

Qin Feng turned his eyes to the Liaodong team.

Cruyff stood on the sidelines, arms folded across his chest, staring at the Barcelona players in trance.

pouted.

Qin Feng stood up and walked towards Cruyff under the stands.

rear.

Nunez was stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Feng's action. Just as he was about to ask, Guardiola stood up beside him.

"I'm going to say hello to Coach Cruyff..."

After saying these words, Guardiola walked out of the stands without looking back.

Nunez was momentarily alone.

At this time, there was discussion behind him.

"Captain Guardiola, my idol!"

"What is he doing? I want to sit closer to him!"

"Stupid, didn't you see who he was looking for?"

"The old man with the lollipop in his mouth? Who is that?"

"Are you stupid? Think about the huge poster in our restaurant!"

"You mean...that's Johan Cruyff!"

"Oh my God, it's Mr. Cruyff!"

"I finally saw one alive today!"

"..."

Fabregas, Busquets, Pique...

Several young players who joined La Masia after Cruyff left were constantly amazed.

Nunez was upset and turned around to glare.

Some covered their mouths, some lowered their heads, some looked at the sky and whistled...

Looking away, Nunez frowned and sighed heavily.

He glanced at Cruyff, stood up, and walked to the Barcelona side of the stands.

sidelines.

"John, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Feng came to Cruyff and said, "You are a little out of shape."

"Qin, you scared me!"

Cruyff was startled when he heard this.

Only then did he realize that Qin Feng was approaching.

Take a breath.

Cruyff smiled and said: "Qin, you know..."

“The older you get, the more nostalgic it is for you.”

Qin Feng also smiled in return.

it is as expected.

Cruyff returned to his hometown after five years away, and it is inevitable to feel emotional.

in particular……

The process of Cruyff's departure was not so pleasant.

"Nunez is old and inevitably confused..."

Qin Feng stretched out a finger and made circles on his temple, implying that Barcelona president Nunez, who had driven away Cruyff, was not in his right mind.

Look at Cruyff smiling.

Qin Feng just wanted to continue to comfort.

Suddenly a shy voice came from beside me, "Sir, long time no see. How are you?"

Looking back in amazement.

It's Guardiola.

He nodded to Qin Feng first.

Then he pursed his lips and looked at Cruyff, standing straight with his legs together and a reserved expression.

Cruyff is Guardiola's boss.

10 years ago, the two met for the first time at the Barcelona B team training ground.

It was Cruyff who changed Guardiola from the right midfielder to the defensive midfielder position.

This move made Guardiola's football career shine.

"A genius commander who has an excellent view of the overall situation, observes with his eyes all the time, and has a high-speed brain!" was Cruyff's comment on Guardiola.

Guardiola lived up to expectations and became Barcelona's "most powerful brain" on the field.

He is a low-key person, and he obviously has super talent, but his reputation is not obvious.

Just like he is in the team's defensive midfielder position.

Always unknown, willing to be a green leaf, hiding his brilliance behind a string of great names.

And according to rumors.

Guardiola showed his obsession with football tactics at a young age.

At the age of 20, he often followed Cruyff with a tactical board.

you could put it that way.

Guardiola is Cruyff's first "disciple".

Whether playing football or coaching a team...

Original future.

Cruyff selected the "Best 11" in football history, and Guardiola was the No. 1 choice as a defensive midfielder and the only candidate.

"Haha, Josep!"

Seeing Guardiola, Cruyff laughed loudly, "I heard that you were injured, which is not good. Now it seems that I am tougher than you!"

"Accidentally, sir..."

Upon hearing this, Guardiola scratched his thick short hair on his head and smiled awkwardly.

In front of Cruyff, the Barcelona field commander looked like a child just out of school.

half an hour.

Guardiola whispered: "Maybe, I will choose to retire..."

Hear this.

Cruyff suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Josep, do you remember what I taught you?"

"Use space, gain insight into space, tear space apart..."

Guardiola blurted out subconsciously.

"What else?" Cruyff's voice became stern.

"Uh..." Guardiola was startled and said hesitantly: "Playing football with your brain?"

"Not bad!"

Cruyff shouted: "What did I say to you at half-time the first time you played under me?"

"You said, I run slower than your grandma..." Guardiola's face turned red.

But a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "From then on, I ran very fast every time, trying hard to keep my movements up with my thoughts!"

"Not bad!" Cruyff gritted his teeth and punched Guardiola in the chest. "Why retire? You are only 28 years old and you still have a long time to live!"

"Play for a few more years and use your brain more. In this way..."

"Even if you are really slower than my grandma, no one dares to look down on you!"

Hear Cruyff's words.

Guardiola didn't answer, just pursed his lips and smiled until his eyes were red.

Cruyff also smiled softly.

Qin Feng had already stepped aside and looked at the two of them with distant eyes.

not far away.

Nunez, who had already stepped down from the stands, frowned even more as he watched this scene...

……

Digression...

Write this chapter.

Can't help feeling in my heart.

I accidentally saw a video where the anchor named the first and second team in Barcelona's history.

Guardiola, ranked as the defensive midfielder of the first team.

In the comments of the video, many people questioned it.

Why?

Potato Pancake chuckled. Some people's greatness lies in their success. Not everyone can notice Guardiola's brilliance.

And in the second team.

Cruyff, Rivaldo, including the alien Ronaldo, are among them.

Now Potato Pancake felt uncomfortable.

of course.

Write this paragraph.

It’s not about arguing who is right and who is wrong.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.

Everyone has their own opinion of what is best, which is extremely subjective and cannot be said to be right or wrong.

Hash browns just wanted to say.

Some people and some history should not be forgotten!

Just like this chapter is written.

Guardiola regards Cruyff as his mentor.

Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Fabregas...

These La Masia children regard Guardiola as their idol.

future.

There are countless people who regard players such as Iniesta, Busquets, and Xavi as the strongest.

Countless stars stand on the shoulders of giants and continue to contribute wonderful things.

Football is also passed down from generation to generation, rolling forward and never stopping...
