Cruyff....STFU!!!

For those of you’ll who don’t know the great Mr. Johan Cruyff let me brief you a bit on the so called “Legend.”

Played for Ajax and Barcelona. Won the European Footballer of the year award in 1971, 73 and 74. 48 International Caps (Holland.) Was in charge of Barcelona between 1988 and 1996 and won four successive titles and the European Cup in 1992 and I do believe he lost a 4-0 to AC Milan in the 1994 European Cup final.

Cruyff is one who called Chelsea and Mourinho non-entertaining; he also claims he would be happy to teach Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho how to play well - just like he did at Ajax in the 70s or Barcelona in the 90s. Mourinho has responded by inviting the Dutchman to teach him how to become a better manager.

Cruyff quotes “I would happily teach him not just about winning and playing well, but also about winning respect from people, and that is more important than the titles you win.

But it's better that I don't teach him how to lose a final by 4-0. This happens when you have a very long career, a career that began at the age of 17 and that continued until the age of 40 as a player and then other years as a coach.

At his age, he has sufficient time to learn how to win and how to lose. To earn the respect of the whole world is a different story.”

Mourinho responded to this by saying “Since 1996, he (Cruyff) refuses to step into the new football reality. Football is waiting for him to be a teacher. I want him to come forward and teach me. I humbly ask for it. I want him to help me to be a better coach because I don't want to stop learning.

But he cannot teach me to be national champion because I already am three times. He cannot teach me how to win cups and Super Cups because I already did. He cannot teach me to conquer the UEFA Cup because I also have it. He cannot teach me to become a European champion either.”

Cruyff I speak for all Chelsea fans when I say, I think you have had your 15 seconds of fame (see I put you up on my blog too.) Now do us a favor and shut up.
