The legendary Dutchman has taken out time to attack the nine-time European champions, suggesting that the personality that the club has developed is a stain on their repute
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player and manager, Johan Cruyff, has expressed that it is displeasing to see what Real Madrid have become. He added that the club is losing its personality and that the youngsters at the Spanish capital are being
taught all the wrong things.
According to the retired veteran, the way players at Madrid behave is something which taints their reputation as one of the greatest clubs in the world. He asserted that the team which was considered a role model in yester year
have become different from what they used to be.
Cruyff argued that the Madridstas of today are arrogant and lack discipline. He also stated that players from other teams in the Spanish La Liga do not behave in a similar way.
The footballing great also drew comparisons between players from the Blancos squad and their greatest rivals, Barcelona. He then went on to mention that one can never observe http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, Andres Iniesta or Xavi Hernandez behaving
the manner that players at the Bernabeu do.
"What really annoys me about Madrid today is the personality the club has adopted, the way they teach their young players to be," he told AS.
"Look at how Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta or [Lionel] Messi behave and you'll know what I mean. They're normal, down-to-earth guys."
"To know how Barcelona play, look at the team when it doesn't have the ball. They pressure their opponent right up to the goalkeeper to get the ball back as quickly as possible. The most difficult thing in football is to do the
easy things and do them well. That's the difference between Barca and all the rest."
Real Madrid have remained tainted with controversy over the past few years due to reasons involving misconduct and lack of sportsmanship. Their head coach, Jose Mourinho, was caught on camera last season as he poked Tito Vilanova
in the eye in addition to other several events of the similar sort.
