Experts of last DAILY TOPIC: How did Johan Cruyff change football?
@Altair: His philosophy changed the game forever. Total football was behind the Netherlands run to the final of 1974 world cup plus he galvanized Barcelona by using same methods. He was a phenomenal player but he gave football more as a coach. He paved the way for La Masia and that changed football forever. We wouldn't have the likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and co without it. Plus as a coach Cruyff won 5 La Ligas and a UCL with Barcelona. He inspired a generation of Barcelona players like Guardiola, Koeman, who are following his philosophy today and contributing to the beautiful game.
@JehirulKhan07: Johan Cruyff's legacy in football will be unmatched for decades and most likely sequels to come, so much more than just a brilliant player and coach. A true visionary and revolutionary figure and will forever be remembered as the most influential man in football history. As a player he is compared to football greats such as Pelรฉ, Maradona, Puskas and Messi. As a coach and football philosopher he influent some of the best managers of all time and was in charge of the Barรงa "Dream Team" that won nine titles in four years. But most importantly he has implemented the "Cruyffian principles" into world football which will make his legacy remain forever.

Well, it's a good move, the Ibra-cadabra magic is going to rock the states of America. Zlatan easily attracts a lot of people with his style of play, his uniqueness will catch the eye of many and hopefully it'll help in the globalization of the beautiful game football (soccer) in the USA. All the best Ibra ๐ ๐

The one thing Zlatan wanted to win was the Champions League.๐๐๐ The minute Manchester was knocked out of the CL by Sevilla, the departure of Zlatan just started to become that much more likely.๐๐๐ Some observations in bullet form: Egos in Manchester๐ฅ๐ฅ Manchester United is a team full of egos, Pogba, Sanchez just to name a few, Mourinho usually does a good job of managing such egos but Zlatan (despite not being the saint himself) helped keep the other players in check. There was obviously a marked hierarchy , nobody messed with Zlatan, even Pogba. Every good team needs a player like this , eg:- the Warriors have D-West, even Draymond listens to him. The obvious concern is who is going to step up and be the leader, Pogba who is the leader on the pitch or Sanchez- the most experienced and best outfield player on the team. Either way, Iโm afraid the relationship between the two will suffer and one may be forced to leave. Zlatan shifts focus from CL to WC This is an obvious indication that Zlatan is no longer interested in the Champions League Medal, the one thing that eluded him in Barca, Milan, Inter and PSG. Instead he is shifting to LA , and trying to get regular playing time so he can be selected for the Sweden squad going to Russia for the FIFA World Cup. He is taking a big wage cut and will now be paid only 1.5 Million $ annually instead of 15โ20 million he would have got if he moved to China. So, the only reason why this happened is because he wants to build his brand in America.โฅโฅโฅ He took a Full Page to advert his Arrival.
