European leagues already finished and left the champions and teams that compete. Championship team and a losing party is motivated to be stronger again next season. But if the game's championship teams are remembered more people in a long time? Not necessarily. It could be that teams that failed championship will continue to be remembered for his performance in the field during the competition. Because connoisseurs prefer football teams that play attractive and able to invite admiration than the teams that play it safe. They will always be remembered for many people though not infrequently suffer defeat. Well, football does not matter win or lose.
"If 5, 10, or 15 years from now people still remember the style of game that we demonstrate this, it was a huge success for us." Said Josep Guardiola, coach FC Barcelona, Champions League 2010-2011, as quoted by website UEFA press conference (Friday, May 27, 2011). Pep Guardiola-calling-add, "the way we play this year has made many people happy. I do not think it will change, whether we win mauapun defeat against United." Pep Guardiola has been instrumental in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Sampdoria at the Champions Cup Final in 1992, at Wembley Stadium, London (England). At that pep is still actively playing and it was Barcelona's first title in the event's most prestigious championship in Europe. Pep and his friends then coached by Johan Cruyff. People are taught that football is not matter win or lose.
As quoted by the Times, Johan Cruyff said the success win the trophy is a fantastic success. However, if success is not achieved, it is not something to be lamented. "Champion is one thing, the important thing. However, to come up with your own style to make people imitate and admire you. That's the greatest gift," said Cruyff. Johan Cruyff's not talk without a foundation. He shared his experiences while still active as a player.
Johan Cruyff is a legend of football Ajax Amsterdam and the Netherlands. At club level, a variety of trophies he has got. But he must be content with winning the runner-up in the 1974 World Cup. The Netherlands lost to West Germany that was reinforced by the genius of Franz Beckenbauer. However, many people are still talking about the game Cruyff and friends who carry the attacking style of football "Total Football". The style became the basis of Dutch clubs game time until now although much has changed. "We lost the final and biggest promotions that we got," said Cruyff. Yeah, right. Many clubs outside the Netherlands to imitate the style of Total Football, including Barcelona. Technique of the players (including Cruyff techniques) are also much imitated.
"Being a champion is just one day. A reputation can be remembered for a lifetime. You see, the name Barcelona has spread worldwide," said Cruyff who want to educate the community through soccer as it did in Barcelona.
Implanted At La Masia
FC Barcelona is one of the big clubs in Spain owned by its members (other than Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna). The Catalan club has about 170,000 members and emphasized the slogan és mes que un club ("more than just a club"). Barcelona's success rather than something that is instant. Barcelona has La Masia, Barcelona's football academy which has become an international example for education and development of young players. Development of young age at La Masia is different from the model development of sport in America, which is generally based on the school. La Masia is also different from most colleges in Europe, where the first-class talent to leave school at age 15 to focus on football.
In Barcelona, many players take the B team in college. One example is Andres Iniesta. "It is surprising many people," said Carles Folguera, Director of La Masia, as quoted by The New York Times. "They think the players here just to play football and not to learn. We are preparing them for sport, but also equip with other future if the sport is not suitable for them," said Carles.
"The parents gave us something they think is most valuable-their children-at-prone age. It is important to show them the meaning of hard work and humility. Talent alone is not enough. You have to humble and to be normal, it is allowed parents so proud, "said Carles.
Claudio Reyna (the former captain of the U.S. National Team) said, "in Barcelona, they educate the players and the victory comes by itself." The man who is now a Technical Director Age U.S. Youth Soccer adds, "I believe that when a player develops an impact on the environment calm and reasonable. They're not judged if you win constantly. They just look for players who have a football brain."
Football is not about winning or losing. But the victory is produced by a team that plays attractive. Well, that's my opinion. Barcelona is the proof. The champion has won his fourth Champions League with a stunning performance the audience.
