The two great vices of Johan Cruyff: football and snuff

The chroniclers of the time it was not uncommon to see Cruyff , like many other players of his time, to smoke a Camel cigarette -mark without filter- at halftime of a game.

Times had changed.

The doctors were very clear: I had to quit immediately if he wanted to avoid more serious ailments. Cruyff, leading the Dream Team culé the ball with the stick of a lollipop sticking out through the mouth: then it is one of the iconic images of the nineties Spain generated.

He replaced cigarettes for candy and she managed to maintain her figure the same elegance it had when marked impossible goals; Johan Cruyff's class has always been innate.

The spectacular demolition of the linesman to Del Bosque

Vicente del Bosque became the protagonist of the Italy-Spain in the early minutes, but regret it was not a success in their lineup or a change of strategy timely ... Salamanca coach drew all eyes to be shot down by ostentatiously the linesman career that took her band.
The coach left his technical area and stepped inadvertently in the race Linesman, attentive to the play, did not notice his presence. The shock was strong and ended with the forest on the lawn of the stadium Friuli, to the astonishment Sergio Ramos and look Pelle, who struggled for the ball.
Fortunately the collision caused no damage to either and Del Bosque quickly get up and hit his hand with the referee .

Italy - Spain 1-1

A philosopher, studying football, once asked: why attack a computer? What impulse motivates l? Sometimes it is a mystery. Johan Cruyff responded by inventing a machine optimistic football. Vitalism ball, elegant, it became clear, bright in the bands. 
"What is the forte of Manolo? Uncheck. Well, we'll let you free. "
Spain, disciple, and sequel emulates Cruyff , mixed with pure - blooded genius of Luis, who saw the possibilities of Spanish softly, then passed by consensus continuity with Del Bosque, yesterday seemed to have no reason to.
I could tell friendly party, and something more.
Spain looked like a normal computer. Without attributes, sometimes even irritating, which appeared in the last decade.
Away from the area, detached, separate lines and with very little ball .There was a sense of tentativeness, improvisation on the computer, and then two small disasters: one at the exit of the ball. It was not Busquets and San Jose is not the same. Ramos gave many balls as in the Madrid defense and Linker-media looked like a broken slope.
Italy,  especially , he attacked by the right wing. He was passing everything, even Del Bosque fell , with desplome- feeling overwhelmed by the impetuous linesman. The linesmen are despistadísimos individuals.
The fact is that the Spanish left wing was like a tactical gibberish it took to get ready.
They were in the starting Aduriz, either in the first control and playing back; Morata, in regions where Villa began, and Thiago, who only left a great detail in the first part, with oh general audience.
Morata may be the fitter . Its speed and power are irrepressible. He is a player that can only be a starter.
