Jordi Cruyff • Johan Cruyff and the Barcelona way • Masterclass 

literally blows my mind that the internet can give us information with so much substance like this from quality sources, beautiful video and thought

Guardiola's current City team makes so much sense now.

Such a simple philosophy but it was the template for a dynasty like no other..R.I.P Johann Cruyff..The most innovative mind in football history..YNWA

“A line up purely based on football possession and not thinking at all in how we defend” - Jordi Cruyff

Man just broke down Pep's philosophy in the simplest and most straight forward way possible. Unreal. Thank you for this!

Best footballing brain we ever had in the history of the sport. We all know Barcelona would never reach the heights it reached without the influence of Cruyff's immense knowledge. Johan had so much impact on Barcelona that whenever our club strays and drifts away from his philosophy (consequences of wrong people at the club)we get punished for it, and very hard.

Put respect on peps name for sticking to his Barca roots throughout management.. he sticks to same concept his idol thought him, as he learned playing on the pitch.. #ViscaBarca !!

Must have been amazing to have the greatest football mind as a father

2:37 who else noticed, that when Koeman shifted to 3 at the back during these two weeks, Barca looks like a completely new team !!

Wisdom from Johan Cruyff: ''The best way to defend in football is to have ball possession on your opponent's half".

This was a very interesting insight from Jordi into Barcelona's playing philosophy. His father Johan was a footballing legend. We all spent hours on the pitch practicing his famous turns 🤣

Imagine Cruijff managing FC Barcelona in 2008-2012 (Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets,...) RIP Johan Cruijff

People don't realize how much Cruyff actually changed the game of football forever. Such a legendary player and manager. I hope The Coaches' Voice keeps releasing videos like this with tactical insight. Such an underrated channel

Cruyff is the einstein of football

Now we get were Pep got his genius technical knowledge! These formation are so visible with pep managing city,Barca or bayern. LEGENDARY Johan Cruyff!!

Tremendous video. You can see how the likes of Guardiola and Koeman et all took the teachings of Cruyff into their own footballing philosophy and put their own spin on it.

It is so good that I want to cry 🙌🏼

curious to see him in laporta's board

So smart and so understandable when he talks. Quite like his father. Welcome back Jordi❤️

Thank you very much Jordi Cruyff. This was the best explanation of the Cruyff football. I have seen all Guardiolas matches as coach since he took over Bayern until now in Man City. And you are explaining exactly how he plays in this video. I would be interested knowing more about how to achieve a good rhythm in the passing game. Because I believe that is the key to succeed with this philosophy. How do you teach the players to pass the ball in the right tempo, in the right time, in the right direction..??? Thank you very much!

Thank you, Jordi. That was inspiring tactical wisdom

It is crazy. Jordi went over all the players' names and I still remember all of them. This was 25 years ago. Cruyff was really a master of football.

Thank you Jordi for your explanation for such an iconic playing of Barcelona.

Great video. Grew up watching the Dream Team play. Johan was truly a master!

Pep is a dream student for any teacher.

Absolutely fascinating insight into a man who transformed football forever

Intriguing and insightful as always. Well done TCV.

Amazing how advanced and how much credit this team is now getting with Pep's success and now Koeman adopting similar tactics! We say about the dream team and talk about Crufyff's genius but he really was a game changer and we owe so much thanks to him for the beautiful football in the modern game

Fascinating how all the disciples of cruyff have different footballing philosophies but his same personality

Amazing. Just Amazing

Like father like son...Love to see more of his football philosophy😊😊

Thanks for the videos. Keep uploading more quality stuff.

Just the mentioning of the names gives me goosebumps...

Johan Cruyff the tactical masterclass❤

Quality content! Massive thanks Coaches Voice! Please keep up the good work

. Aguero Sterling Mahrez . Gundo . Cancelo KDB . Rodri . Laporte Walker . Dias . Ederson

All of those names bring back my childhood memories and the reason why I loved Barca, their distinct way of playing. Didn't care about the result much those days (well, except the 0-4 humiliation in CL final from Milan hahaha..)

jordi is so lucky , he has that gene on him. greatness. merci johan

Incredible, learn fro the best! Vamos Comandante... cheers from Serbia, Ivan

Thank you Jordi, a fine player in your own right!

Props to the coach but also the players for being able to execute his vision 👏

This needs to be what we need now

It's a shame that Jordi didn't get the stylish hair of Johan

And he's back at Barcelona now. Welcome Jordi! 🔵🔴

MASTERclass if there ever was one.

My favorite video on the site.

What an explanation

Top tier channel 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Amazing

now Koeman continue this idea

Excellent! Learned so much and I'm not a soccer player by experience.

Wow this is amazing 🥲. I’ve been fortunate enough to play his system on a coaching level and to see it on a pitch brings tears to my eyes.

Great clip, great insight. Would love to see a similar video of the opposing philosophy of defence and counter attack also. Like the Catenaccio tactics of various Italian teams

Wonderful

In the youth I played couple of times against Jordi against Ajax. I played at an amateur club in Amsterdam and I was his direct opponent. We lost both two games against them. Johan Cruijff and Tonnie Bruins Slot were also watching. We got nervous when we heard at halftime that Cruijff was also watching. Still a nice memory.

Can we get Italian managers/ players next? Nesta? Lippi ( a dream😅) etc. etc. keep up the great work👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks I just came across this and now i seen what Arteta is trying to implement.

Legend

Excellent

Johan Cruyff is the mastermind behind what we've seen under Pep

Excellent video

Is always good to compare strategies and tactics from different epoch

Brilliant

Johan Cruyff is the most influential person in modern football. His legacy lives through Pep Guardiola. Now Xavi is also displaying that in Qatar.

Very useful

I can relate to every player and their roles he is talking about with this current Barcelona Team.

True football brain 💯🔥 #legend #forçabarça 💙❤️

He almost explains it better than his dad ever could! One of the the things that Johan said that isn’t covered here though is that even though they only had three at the back the defenders would all still have a turn piling forward. He said that opposition attackers either had to track them or get a bollocking from their teammates. Just messes with any team’s attacking plans.

Wow... this is the formation we used against Sevilla. The 31231. But we had wing backs instead of Johan’s wingers.

More on this please,maybe from Guardiola & his philosophy

Fantastisch.

Can we just appreciate how crazy and amazing that football board is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍, I mean i want one and I'm not even a analyst, it's like I would really love to have one😍🔥.

To be honest I used to be a casual fan of the sport and played it for fun but since joining a team and understanding the coaches minds and why they play certain styles is what truly makes the game a piece of art and I hope laporta can convince jordi cruyff to join his bord

Johan Cruyff was the best player of all time. a manger on the pitch and a master on the ball

I understood all of this and it was awesome, great. Now only thing left to do is show this to my teammates 🤦🏽‍♂️

Kind of what Koeman applied vs Sevilla both in the league and the cup 😍😍

Even Thomas Tuchel employs a hybrid version of this formation. Superb video!

The best formation ever to exist. Cruyyf knew the importance of triangles and it showed.

I need that board.

Nice

This was the video i was searching for.

I want this in barca again

In the 2000s my development club in under 13 division, the coach favoured this style. Not so much total football but he emphasized triangles in training such that every player has at least 2 players to accept a pass at all times. our back 4 was a little warped for my 10 year old mind to understand but the basis of it was there were traditional full backs that stay back, they never cross the half line. The one centre back played ahead of the others, sort of sweeper-ish. What the coach called the #4 his job was make sure the #5 who was always the last man before the keeper and the full backs #2 and #3 weren't allowed to be behind the last man ever. The #5 absolutely had to have a big mouth or a loud voice, he had to move the others with him constantly. The midfield was a flat 4. Wingers #7 and #11 were only allowed to advance forward. Central players #6 and #8 were to stay put and pick passes either to wingers or to strikers #10 and #9. Strikers were instructed to play 2 touch as much as possible, one to receive second to shoot. The coach was able to make it understood to the smarter ones who were just about to turn 13 and move on to the next division or leave the club. I was a dumb kid but now the tactics make sense although I fail to see the strict man marking working out when zonal discipline was part of the instructions. Coach was more caught up in the style over the joy of the players. It showed given the best finish those tactics got was 4th place in a league of like 8-12 teams when kids generally played for fun more than they played for actual football competition. These days the same club has new and younger coaches with more tactics who actually explain to the kids why specific things are done and they simpler but successful systems. They now win the league often compete for it if they arent winning it. A shame all that started after i finished school 🤐

Amazing 🧡14🧡

Would love to see a Jupp Heynckes 2013 Bayern masterclass.

Long live Total Football!

Total Football🤤

The moment when all lines get connected it shapes like the tree of life. Iv been thinking in my head a lot about football systems and formations and Just play around in my head without any knowledge and this was actually kind of the line up I came up with. Allthough in my head the 2 wingers would be more of wingbacks to have widh. And the three midfield players in front of guardiola have free roles and be very good football players with the feet and dribbles and eith their back to the goal. But then you miss out on wingers. Maybe have 2 of the three run behind as a winger or have the wingbacks pop up as wingers when opportunity arises but they would need monster stamina, speed and good crosses.

People who doubt jordi for the rumoured role of tech sec in new board must watch this. This guy knows his shit.

Thanks for Korean Subtitle

who will be the next mind set in football will definitely be Sergio BUsquest. the guy has all the quality to be a very successful coach .

Welcome Jordi Cruyff as the technical secretary of FC Barcelona

Cruyff has to be the greatest coach of all time and also the greatest influencer ever in football history

the way Johann Cruyff wanted to play football is really amazing when Jordi Cruyff says barca has never had a pure no9 I felt like I'm good at analyzing cause when we were playing under pep we had the same tactics we never had a pure no9 until we got suarez and that is not our style of football he wanted everyone to be creative even the goal keeper that makes him unique now under koeman we have been creating chances just for fun where other teams would find it difficult but when it comes to finishing only god knows .:( this season we've lost in laliga only cause of defender(lenglet) doing a lot of errors that too in last min which is horrible thing to watch entire team keeps playing to win except lenglet(not including greizmann cause idk what to say about him no idea why we bought him) ..we keepdominating the entire match to win but when our opponent gets the ball just one attack in the end and boom we concede. we are in this situation only because of koeman he's the who made everything look harder comeon man WHO NEEDS COMEBACK against each and every team we play WHEN WE USED TO DOMINATE..comeback vs a team like granada ?? cause we've spent millions and millions in transfer market he is the reason why everything looks scuffed for barca he doing a good job even when he doesn't have luxury to rotate our squad since half of our STAR players are injured this season but still he has to win matches against small teams .....really appreciate the way de jong is playing for us he is playing in mid field supports attack when we need goals and koeman is using him as a CB aswell still he is playing like a beast his workrate is top notch

1-2-1-2-1-2-1 Cruyff formation at 8:05

Thanks for more quality stuff. Simple yet brilliant from Cruyff with Jordi very articulate, able to explain the main concepts clearly. Would be nice for him to return to Barca and help with our rebuild.

Jordi cruyff for barcelona coach 😳👀

Jordi come back home we need you.

You can clearly see a lot of similar roles of these players and of barca''s current squad. the 3 at the back obvious.. two forward wing players, now wingbacks being attacking (dest alba). the distributors: (busquets as central defender and cdm, then messi sometimes as cdm to start attacks/passing, also sometimes de jong). the connector to get the distributor out of pressure and continue plays between sections of the pitch (pedri). the box to box player (de jong, who is learning all of the roles essentially bc he will eventually captain barcelona as the guardiola of the team. The only thing really missing is that number 9 which imo dembele doesnt fit but haaland would slide in absolutely perfectly. can threaten the entire attacking third and can be fed from anywhere and retain possession. I personally dont think dembele fits into any spot at alll in a system like they have now. koeman will need to create alternate attacking set ups to enable/unleash the full potential of dembele. that will be his task next season.

My son im proud of u..
