Renowned Johan Cruyff new Catalunya seleccionador
Johan Cruyff has been nominated a new Catalunya seleccionador. At his 62 years, the Dutch returns to a stool thirteen years after his march of the Barcelona, when it was dismissed by Núñez after accumulating two years without qualifications and many personal disagreements. Since then only he had trodden on the lawn again in some charitable or commemorative party.
Jordi Casals, president of Federació Catalana of Soccer, has declared that
Cruyff will receive not even an euro
In return the FCF will take part in social projects (I meant that what Johan Cruyff means) organized by the Foundation. The ex-trainer blaugrana will replace Pere Gratacós, who disputed six parties in three years. The contract will link Cruyff during four years that there lasts the order of the current team of government of the Federació.
It is clear that the direction of the good-looking FCF for Cruyff with the intention of making use of his reputation in proper benefit, the whole declaration of beginning. Claiming the right to compete like a national team completely respectable (demand), it seems incongruous that choose a foreigner who has never showed any disposition for learning the language and who all his cultural interest towards Catalunya happens for the gastronomic products. In fact, the Platform per the Llengua has already asked him to do an effort to speak in Catalan.
The first party that it will direct will be December 22 or 23, against a rival still for confirming (Holland sounds strongly). Everything aims at that will have to combine his charge like seleccionador with that of adviser of Laporta, as recently it has been demonstrated by a series of disguised contracts. Perhaps it does not matter too much for the president of the Barca, because also he needs time for he and his future projects …
Cruyff, in his trainer’s stage blaugrana, gained four Leagues, three Superglasses of Spain, a Cup-winners’ cup of Europe, a Superglass of Europe and the first European Cup of the history culé. With the Selecció the stool monkey will be able to come out, if it is that it has it, but hardly he will add another title to his list of winners.
