It's just so stupid to say. Ok you are good with the ball at your feet but when I'm able to come and take it from you and put it in your net, I'm somehow not as good.

Just so stupid.

I hope Xavi suffers a season ending injury, ends up missing the world cup, and never recovers as a result of that traumatizing experience, which then leads him to go on a drinking binge, culminating in him waking up in a cheap and dirty motel sandwiched between two overweight truckers who had taken turns pounding him the night before while he was completely intoxicated.

Cruijff's philosophy isn't about 'keeping the ball as long as possible, that's the interpretation of VDB but not of Cruijff or Guardiola, although it has become that over time but he's proving otherwise at Bayern.

Cruijff's philosophy is about having a clear system and giving players the freedom to find their own solutions. It revolved around high pressing but also interchange positions and undertake different tasks. Guardiola adopted his entire philosophy, hence why Song or Mascherano plays CB. I'd say that's the definition of positive football. If Guardiola's Barcelona would win the majority of their matches with 1-0 then you could call it 'negative' but Guardiola's Barcelona had been scoring 3 or 4 goals a game and currently his Bayern is doing no less.

I'd even say Guardiola was an inspiration for Spain winning the WC against the Dutch. It was the Dutch football spirit and Cruijff's philosophy that took the WC away from us in 2010.

Mourinho hasn't been as 'game changing' as Cruijff or Guardiola
Cruyff gets a Viagra induced like hard on listening to his own voice.
