#barcelona #cruyff #cataluña - Спорт
Cruyff was a revolutionary for Barça .
He arrived in Catalonia in the 70s as a player and won the league .
He also led Barcelona to their first UCL in the 90s as a manager.
The Catalan faithful felt Cruyff had done more for them in one year than any other politician before.
Also the tiki taka we enjoy from Barcelona is also due to Cruyff.
A true legend .
RIP Johan ....
DEIDARA?
@@kylespectra6685
Yep he is my favourite Akatsuki.
@@suyezlee6650 My fav moments in Akatsuki are Deidara and Tobi.
@@kylespectra6685
Yup they were an awesome duo
Too bad we couldn't see more of them.
Biggest man in football ever
I love how they mix football and history all in one. Tifo would be my favourite lesson in school
You might like it as a foreigner, but here in Spain it's a matter to be taken very seriously. I've observed many non-spanish people defend this movement, but they don't understand the magnitude of this. Cataluña has never been an independent country, you can look it up in Spanish History, although it is true they have their own language and similar traditions. Nevertheless, our 1978 Consitution, which was signed after Franco's death and was agreed by all citizens, clearly states that no territory in our country can part away from Spain, as the land is common property to all of us. During the last 25 years of the 20th century, a group inside the Basque Country killed more than a thousand people, including Basques, to proclaim their independence. The truth is that an equal part of Basques/Catalonian feel Spanish, as portrayed in the ilegal referendum which was held, and these people have been frowned upon constantly and discriminated for feeling Spanish. All in all, these independence (and communist, but that's another story, although there are parties inside our government who have declared their only ambition is to bring Spain down) movements are tearing our country, like it happenned 80 years ago during our Civil War. It's actually sad that something so highly respected as football in our country gets mixed up with politics. I really hope people from outside our country stop regarding this as a beautiful history lesson, it's actually devastating.
@@alvaro5834 if people wants independence.
Give them.
@@alvaro5834 In the 10th century the County of Barcelona became progressively independent from Frankish rule. In 1137, Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona accepted King Ramiro II of Aragon's proposal to marry Queen Petronila, establishing the dynastic union of the County of Barcelona with the Kingdom of Aragon, creating the Crown of Aragon, while the County of Barcelona and the other Catalan counties adopted a common polity known as Principality of Catalonia,[3] which developed an institutional system (Courts, constitutions, Generalitat) that limited the power of the kings. Catalonia contributed to the expansion of the Crown's trade and military, most significantly their navy. The Catalan language flourished and expanded as more territories were added to the Crown of Aragon, including Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicily, Naples, and Athens.
The fact that the video is exactly 4:33 long (4-3-3 ,Cruyff’s trademark) is brilliant
I NEVER EVEN NOTICED 😂
Words cannot describe how much I love this video
Tifo football.... Click!
I love history. Have you guys read the Talmud!? What wonderful values come of such book. Only within the talmud, can you find true history. If traditional Catholic versions of the bible are the iniesta of moral and spiritual authority, than the talmud is like the nigel de jong! Remember him? What a player!
@@engineeredaccess6026 yup me 2 History is my fav subject and football is my fav sport a combie that made this one of my personal fav vids by Tifo
Cruyff, Ronaldinho, Pep and Messi are my Mount Rushmore of Barcelona..
No Iniesta or Xavi?
Yes
Ddv Sgd R10 in his prime for me was better and influential for Barca..
Hell, he was an inspiration for all fans not only barca fans..
The main reason I became a Barca fan was because of him..
But yes, Xavi and Iniesta are also amazing and influential in their own rights..
I think my top 7 Greatest Individuals for Barca would be..
1. Johan Cruyff
2. Lionel Messi
3. Pep Guardiola
4. Ronaldinho
5. Xavi
6. Iniesta
7. Puyol
Good and poor analogy, you'd have to fit Puyol and Pique on there as well
Peter V...Busquets > Pique
I really enjoy the history section. This is something I was aware of but I wasn't aware of a Catalan national team. Thanks so much
There's also a Basque one
They had an friendly against Brazil in 2004 that ended 5x2 for Brazil
There's also one from andalucia, canary islands, etc...they are not national teams as their federation is not a national one. Same applies with catalonia.
These videos based on history and politics involved in football are just as captivating as the ones based on tactics. Brilliant job as always.
Looking forward to a video based on Motta's 2 - 7 - 2 formation.
Motta is kinder smoking some serious weed on his tactics. No wonder Motta means weed in spanish
@@evonne_o he said that to explain that numbers aren't everything: he talked about 2-7-2 looking the pitch in a different direction
you mean 2-6-2? formations add up to 10 players
@@EMETRL no Motta said 2-7-2 because looking side to side you have 2 wings 7 central players (including the goal keeper) and other 2 wings
2-7-2 from left to right. look carefully
That was a very good video! However, I feel like I have to mention one thing. The supporter that appears in 2:21 is Manolo el del Bombo (spanish for Manolo of the Big Drum), and he is the most charismatic supporter our national team has. During the days when Piqué was being constantly booed, Manolo was one of the most prominent figures in television asking for these boos to stop and to keep calm amongst other supporters. I hope this video doesn't paint him in a wrong light because the man is really an amazing person.
Hong Kong stands with our Catalan brothers and sisters in their fight for independence, democracy and self determination. We have to stand against government oppression and police brutality. 🇭🇰💪 加油!!!!
Spain stands with the Chinese People's Republic. Hope the order is restored as soon as possible by the Communist Party.
Hong Kong was Britain cologne. Not Catalonia
@@mrx.9955 You know nothing about Hong Kong, Catalonia and freedom. Shame on you and callate! Death to Spanish monarchy, death to Chinese Communist Party
Johan Cruyff, the man who changed football.
Without Johan: You are good, but too small, football is not for you.
With Johan: You are good, football is for you.
Like 18 may 1994 in Athens? There is where he got lectured, a true masterclass in tactics.
@@grazianolaudisio3644 Cruyff is a human, he is not perfect, that final was in the end of his cicle at Barça, and his relationship with key players like Romario, Laudrup and Koeman was getting worse and worse, and that's why he lost 4-0.
I wasn't talking about Cruyff's tactics or the trophies that he won as a manager, I was talking about his BIGGEST achievement as a manager, his legacy to Barcelona and to football.
@@grazianolaudisio3644
Was Cruyff humiliated by Capello in that final? Yes, he was.
Like Fergie, who was schooled twice by Pep.
Like Pep, who was humiliated by Ancelotti.
Like Ancelotti, who lost 4-0 to Simeone's Atletico.
Like Simeone, who lost 3-0 to Zizou's Real Madrid.
Like Zizou, who lost 0-3 to Valverde's Barça.
The list goes on and on, every great manager suffered a 'tactical humiliation' at some point of his career, and you know why? It's because they are humans, they make mistakes.
@@Rodrigo14_ The thing is, he wanted to humiliate Milan sooo bad. If it was on the pitch, fair and square. But it wasn't! He was so disrespectful towards my club and the tifosi by letting journalists taking pictures of him with the cup one day before the final as if Barcelona already had won the Cup. Also he told journalists that Milan could only defend and that it played negative football. I mean seriously...
But yes you remain of course correct, Cruijff was a great football player and a great coach. One who provided a big contribution to Barcelona's success.
@@grazianolaudisio3644 I agree with you, Cruyff had a strong personality and sometimes he was a little bit arrogant, but don't get him wrong, he tried to humiliate his critics, not AC Milan.
Informative but concise
I am really proud to support a club that has such a high standard of morals. No other club can boast this
Being nationalist is inmoral
There are clubs which are historically far more nationalist, like Celtic Glasgow. Barça followers are very hetereogeneus.
@@Kongorlobo no
@@caesaraugustus4563Yes. This video is in fact quite simplistic.
A real clown, congratulations.
Top marks for the length of the video: 433
Cruyff legend, more than a player 🤴💖
Legend Johann cryuff... I'm happy, my late father set him as example for us....
Grew a new respect for Fc Barcelona watching this,Big up Catalonia✊🏿
I am so grateful for UA-cam's discovery system that suggested this channel about a year ago. Most quality football related channel out there. Keep up the great work
wouldnt mind if it was a 10min video
Kim I wouldn’t mind if it was an hour
Tifo you are the best
How about a drogba tactical retrospective
Football is not only about a ball and goal, i like when Tifo publish economy and history of football, tnx for that
Honestly, Tifo has taught me more than I ever learnt at school!
sad but true! let´s cherish this channel
@@danielkarlsen2545 Then that's a terrible indictment of which ever education system you were taught under.
As a rule of thumb the quality of an education system can be measured by the teaching of its most important subject, History. If you don't know where you've come from you have no idea where you're going. In countries like the UK the teaching of history is very bad now, not unsurprising because the state wants to induce collective amnesia, it suits their purposes very well. It would be remarkable if it wasn't exactly the same across much of Europe where the EU holds sway (for now).
Be careful. I'm afraid this is just propaganda ...
The rik of learning here is that you can be manipulated. This video is strongly biased and you should not take it seriously
Well, the video didnt show the adoctrination in Catalonia by the local corrupt politicians, it is sad, how try to deceive people in the world.
Was waiting for this video.
Paulino Alcantara, one of Barcelona's pioneers and arguably their best goalscorer until the 50s was a proud Falangist. He represented Catalonia, Philippines, and Spain in the 20s.
Content, quality everything par excellence ... Good work Team TIFO
This video always makes me cry.
From Kashmir.
Islam is the aggressor in Kashmir. You are the immigrant religion that pushed out native Hindus.
Fellas, your channel is top bins. I come from a background that values education, and I love your almost dialectical analysis of football in both the modern and historical sense. I especially love your, to be frank, bravery to tackle the taboo, but clearly in your face, topics of politics/governments' involvement in football. Keep it up and add some citations in the description to further strengthen/add validity to the analysis in your videos.
You guys and Football Leaks are voices that football fans need today to not only improve the sport, but the world. Don't ever stop.
Thanks for the video!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!
Best football channel ever! Keep it going, guys!
The music, narration and illustration. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
Im not that deep of a sports fan and knowing that history, politics and even fight for independence is woven into this sport is very mind blowing.
great work as always
I would love to see a similar-type video about Athletic Club and the Basque Country.
The background music in your videos are the best!
Brilliant video bro! 👌🏾
I love this channel so much!
Great video again ❤❤
Absolutely outstanding video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Low key my favourite channel at the moment and this season I watch more tifo then actual football
Whatever you say.. The influence Barca had on football is unmatched...No other club has ever revolutionized football!!
Visca Barca
Tifo, please don't ever lie because I love your videos so much I just believe and hit like! Best football channel!
I must say this is the first time in a tifo video where I felt like I needed more information in the video. The video felt short in the information department but otherwise was good!
Amazing👏🏾
This is why I love this club.
I really really wish we could choose football as a subject and Tifo would be the teacher. I would get straight A+ s
I kinda wish how Cruijff gave Barca & Spain so much, Pep returns the favour with Oranje because Spain won't have him as their manager even though he's expressed the desire to take over a national team sometime in future.
Added, Dutch were suffering until last few matches where things are looking a bit better.
Pep would change them drastically, they have a very young squad which he'd find ideal to mold.
The current Dutch manager is also a former Cruijff player. Perhaps he will provide the change you seek.
@@BigDave15 oh I don't seek any change. I think it'll be fitting & beneficial for all parties if Pep succeeded Koeman
That would be legendary cool man imagine a Guardiola style team powered by electric young dutch players
I can see him managing either the Oranje or Catalonia or both but not for many years. Right now I'd like to see Frenkie De Jong go to Man City to continue the heritage.
Very few years ago this could have been a national team:
Valdés
Sergi Roberto - Piqué - Puyol - Jordi Alba
Sergio Busquets - Xavi - Cesc Fábregas
Sergio García - Gerard Moreno - Bojan
Perfectly capable to win a world cup.
Really nice video, but you forgot that one of FC Barcelona presidents was executed by the fascists.
The video forgot too that FCB gave 2 of his most honorary distinctions to Franco, more than any other team in Spain. Or that the last city to fall to Franco was Madrid
Carlos Bravo This is fake, lol. The last city to fall to Franco was Alicante. Otherwise, that data is irrelevant. Madrid was the political capital of the Spanish Republic, obviously it was a place besieged for years for its political importance and strategic. That data is irrelevant and I do not understand very well what you mean by that. I can imagine it but it seems too stupid and without substantial importance.
@@danielm4728 I agreed, irrelevant data for what? Oh they gave him medals. So what?
MrISkater In fact, the distinctions he talks about, the first was after the 1951 Cup final in which Barça won 0-3 against Madrid in their stadium. The president, people say euphoric and drunk, gave him a gold badge that he wore in his jacket. The other was in 1971 for the opening of the Palau Blaugrana. In any case, the distinctions do not appear as officials in the club's archives and in fact, there was talking of withdrawing them but it is impossible to withdraw a distinction that is not official, which is like it would never have been done. it seems that he tries to say that Franco also helped Barcelona when it is totally false, he hurt the club and he tried to steal his identity. It is true that he approved the construction of the stadium of Les Corts and the Palau Blaugrana but it was only for the mere interest of fueling a rivalry with Madrid that he knew was beneficial for him and for football that he used for political reasons and does not take away everything which he did especially in the years after the war. Everyone knows and it is a fact that his team was Real Madrid and that it was also the team he used as a political propaganda medium. Franco didnt even like football.
Carlos Bravo you forget that the democratic and progressive republicans that managed the team were expelled from the club and the president executed
God knows how long I was waiting for this. What a channel. What a video.
You guys are absolutely sensational in what you produce, and I'm sure one day you guys will be household names for every football fan who wants to learn more about the details of the game and it's history.
Also, would love if you guys made more videos on the financial side of football and explain to people about transfers, FFP (Der Spiegel's latest breakthroughs), loans, revenues of a club etc. Keep up the awesome work ❤️
Tactics of LVG's Ajax, please.
If there is an Oscar for UA-cam's best videos, it should be given to Tifo , anytime anyday for any video.
Damn, I love this channel
splendid video! would love o see a vid about the catalan national side, Victor Valdes has some caps for them aswell.
I don’t pay much attention to foreign politics, and nowadays not even England’s politics that much, but this was a brilliant video and I found all of it interesting. Cheers lads!
Tifo fast becoming one of my fave channels
Super fan of your videos.😍👍
This is an amazing video
I’ve seen a lot of games and it is like people from different parts of Spain just hate each other, I mean not only in Barcelona you find people insulting, also on Valencia or Bilbao, it doesn’t have to be a Catalan club involve; at least that’s impression I have after watching La Liga during the years. In other countries you would find people hating each other but strictly for reasons of passion for their club, on Spain I get the feeling that they just hate the region from where the club comes.
Spain has strong regional identities.
I search almost everything related to football with tifo football at the end of it.
So you are about to sleep, it's almost 3 am in the morning, you see a notification appear and you know it's a Tifo video. You click it, knowing wholeheartedly you're going to enjoy the video and learn a thing or two about politics, economics, finances and even perhaps some psychology of the sport and the world. Years from now, you are going to be heralded for being a trailblazer in the industry of content creation around a sport. Keep it up uMaxIt, keep it up TiFo.
FC Barcelona condecorated Franco two times with gold medals for building the Palau Blaugrana and for the club's 75th anniversary. Twice as much than Real Madrid. So FC Barcelona wasn't such a resistance club as they like to think. Lest we forget
At gun point.... you cannot be naive.
Great vid ❤ it , can you do a video about tareq El-taib?
Do a video about Pedro and his performances during 2010/11 guardiola era
Tactics of Ariggo Sacchi's all conquering Milan side,
Please
The offside rule. That's my favorite part
Absolutely brilliant. Been here since 2016. Love this channel.
Please read who Vic Buckingham was. He was an Englishman. He managed Cruyff at Ajax and went on to Barcelona. Cruyff was a big fan and was heavily influenced by him in terms of creating total football.
Amazing information, and video, insane how Pep was fined for showing support to the region of Catalonia with a yellow ribbon ! Cheers Tifo
Angelomessi92 actually it’s pretty common in football. Any sort of political stance will get you fined. Like in past when English players wore poppies they got fined and even clubs and so on. Kinda stupid though
Think Pep was entitled to wear his yellow ribbon
Hypocritic to fine Pep when poppies are "tradition"
Shark Team ribbon is a political symbol where as the poppy is a sign of remembrance.
No. The rules state no political symbols in a stadium during club matches. It's never a good idea to mix politics and football and that should also apply to Pep REGARDLESS
I didn't know I'd love Barca more but I was wrong
It would be interesting to see La Liga without Barcelona and whether it would have a domino effect in other regions in Spain and Europe in general. Great video
You would hope France or Italy would accept the Catalan clubs into their league.
@@mikespearwood3914 I feel like the FFF would jump on that as soon as they could if it became a possibility. I mean when you look at it in terms of geographical location, Barcelona is quicker to get to from Toulouse, Montpellier & Marseille than it is from Madrid and the distance from Barcelona to Seville isn't that much less than Barcelona to Lille. Plus you'd probably end up with a fairly similar rivalry (albeit not as deep) with PSG as they have with Real and it'd be a massive cash injection for French football. I don't see the RFEF willingly allowing Barcelona to walk though considering what they bring financially to the league and how important the Real/Barca rivalry is to the global football landscape. It is an interesting thought to consider though.
they would never expel Barcelona, LaLiga's 50% of income come from them.
Thankfully that'll never happen. La Liga knows the commercial implications of losing Catalonian teams(especially Barca) from the league. Catalonia may leave Spain but they will find out some way to allow Catalonian teams to continue playing in the league.
So interesting!
That is interesting. Would anyone recommend articles or books about this topic?
I think the disliker thought the dislike button was the like one
Or maybe he/she was blind
They are holding their phone upside down.
No, it's because Catalan Independence is absolutely absurd and should not be given any promotion. Que viva España!🇪🇸
Great video very informative. You touch on it at the end but what would be the options in theory, for Barcelona if they were thrown out of the la Liga? Could they play in another league as a guest? What would the best case and worst case scenarios?
This is mad late but say they did get independence when Messi was still there then I don’t see la liga ejecting them, and even if they did Barcelona is probably close enough to France to be invited into Ligue 1 and FIFA recognizes Kosovo so they would accept Cata if they became legit
Tifo is the GOAT!
When Catalunia becomes an independent country it should make a statue of Johan Cruyff in the centre of Bercelona
He did that just because he hates spain that beat his country in 2010
I feel like there are more people who want the independence of Catalonia outside of Catalonia than inside, being Catalan myself.
mostly indians barca fans
@@crumpfyllc5571Were the Indian fans voting for independence? Or singing Catalonian national songs in the stadium?
TIFO History are the best. They're special because only TIFO can produce them so if TIFO does so the videos
Do a tactical profile on Michael Carrick
Long Egg-Wind already done: ua-cam.com/video/NTUcZsmMCUs/v-deo.html
FC Barcelona's nationalist position is risky, due to the fact that they have supporters all around Spain, moreover, their our home, Camp Nou, is 50/50 when it comes to Catalonia's independence.
And just a little funny fact: la 'Guerra de Sucesión' (they call it, wrongly, 'Secesión') was a war between Borbons crown and Austrias, not one between Spain and Catalonia, as they say it was; Catalan nationalist claim that when Brobones won that war, we lost all our autodetermination, which we had under the control of Austrias. Nothing further from reality. I could explain all about that war, but I don't think you guys are intersted in that :D. Just wanted to give a little fact.
I think supporters of Spain have to be aware of Barça's history
28ek, I think they actually are. Barcelona sells itself like a plural club, their own anthem says it: "Som la gent Blaugrana, tant se val d'on venim, si del sud o del nord...", which means, basically, that Blaugranas are everybody, even if you are from the north or south...
@@s.correa9370 of course, but those supporters have to understand why Barça's idiosyncrasy is like that. You can be Spanish and support Barça (of course!!) but if the catalans want to vote or something like that I think they have to respect it.
28ek, oh, boy, what you have to understand is that catalans don't want anything. You cannot say that catalans want independece, neither you can say that catalans want to remain, basically because catalan society is broken in two, 50% (in which I am included) feel as spanish as catalans, the other 50% wants independence.
So, when Barça positionates itself in a pro-nationalist way, they are kind of betraying their supporters too.
As always, brilliant stuff. Precise and informative.
video on duncan edwards please
Barcelona or Catalans played the huge and most important roles in making Spain great Footballing nation when they won 3 international trophies consecutively from 2008 to 2012 (2 euros and World Cup) players like Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Fabregas, Busquets, Pique, Pedro were more important to this team than anyone else.. Talking about Cruyff he was of course the savior of Barcelona as a player, personality and than as a Coach the Father of Modern Football👑🧠🙏
Need to do one what let to the Yugoslavia war
Can you make a video on Carlos Tevez career?
Pep Gurdiola is a legend
La liga could allow Barca and athletic Bilbao and all the other basque and Catalan teams to remain in their current leagues should their respective regions gain independence. Threats of expulsion are made to discourage their fight for independence. The Basque Country and Catalonia bring in a lot of money into the Spanish economy and the Spanish government is terrified at the thought of losing that.
Smh. Madrid make the most money out all. Catalonia and the Basque is where tourist goes but apart from that they we Dont have any other infrastructure. Get independent to because a banana republic? And then relay back on Spain? Im from Catalonia .im Spanish and Catalan im perfectly ok with being both. Yes we make money and it's giving out in the poorer region in Spain to help out our fellow brothers and sisters. So what's wrong with that? Unity over division
hi can you do one like this but talking about the politic in athletic bilbao, thank you.
Hi, we’ve done this. Go through our videos and you’ll see it - within the last three months, I think. - Alex
Also, don't forget that Johan his son was born in the Netherlands. He gave him the Catalan name Jordi as a hidden protest ( a name which was forbidden in Spain but also common in the Netherlands). Also he was not just the coach for the Catalan national team, he also played for them in 1976.
Fantastic how the video is 4:33 long
i always build my tactic on FOOTBALL MANAGER by your video..and it works well..love your video BTW😙
same dude , it is much easier in fm19
Legendas em portugues PLEASEEEE
Actually Cruyff chose to go to Barça over Real because he didn't want to go to a club linked with Franco.
Do a video on motta's 2-7-2
Forever BARCA!!!
What about the tendai ndoro saga
Visca el Barça y visca Catalunya
Nice video mate!
About barceloona, could you make Ronald Koeman on Netherland?
Mes Que Un Club. 🔵🔴🔵🔴
Barca fans who disrespect or hate cruyff are not true barca fans. Cruyff is the greatest gift to Barcelona, and Catalunya
The treatment of Catalan voters was inhumane and appalling but the vote shouldn’t be presented as legitimate. It was held solely with the support of independence supporters and not certified or supported by the majority even of Catalans or Barcelonans. If people other than those who wanted independence anyway had treated the vote as real and legitimate and turned up the result would have reflected the huge diversity of people and opinion in Catalonia. FCB is supported by a huge variety of people in the city, region, Spain and the world. The motto is a celebration of a diverse liberal and a Catalan pride that for many supporters does not mean separation from Spain. The voices of the most vocal group of independence supporters should not be the only view the Catalan promotes over the majority
Surely the way the police reacted is exactly the reason why there needs to be independence.
You do realize something like 80 percent of Catalans want to leave right?
@@carterroane1034 You are so so wrong. The percentage of Catalans who want to become independent is between 30 and 35%. Please be more careful with your words. They don't represent the whole Catalan society in which most want to remain Spanish
@@melgarejocarlos2425 The polls say otherwise
@@carterroane1034 The polls are nowhere near 80 percent and not more than half the population. In the illegal referendum held last year there are pictures of several people voting in 4 different sites and many other using fake ID's to vote.
