In May of 1988, Johan Cruyff was announced as Barcelona coach, amidst a terrible time in the history of the club, having won just a single title in 14 years. However, fast forward eight years and the club had now won 11 trophies.
The team or the “dream team” that Cruyff built was built on two aspects of the club. Firstly it was the style or the way the team conducted itself on the pitch. Secondly it was the philosophy and how the club behaved off it.
In recent Barcelona have not played the same kind of football as it did during Pep Guardiola’s era which was the most decorated period in its history, neither on the pitch or off it.
