Ferrer: Cruyff would rather win 4-3 than win 1-0, which made our defender suffer

Hupu October 4th Alvete Ferrer reviewed his long football career in an interview with Daily Sports. The current Barcelona Legends coach admitted that Cruyff is a very special master. He talked about Cruyff's game style, later Robson and Van Gaal, and his experience of loaning to the Premier League.

Cruyff knows how to inspire your best form

"I can always feel his trust, the role of defender is a bit hard, because Cruyff would rather win 4-3 than 1-0, sometimes we take a lot of risks, and the defense can feel it. Cruyff only arranges two target center backs and a scavenger. He trusts Juan Carlos and me very much, and he says we chase back very quickly. When I get a cruciate ligament, I don't know. When he came back in half a year, he was very satisfied with me and asked the board to pay me an extra bonus. Cruyff always asked me to keep an eye on the opponent's star players. I have used a great player like Baggio and a match against Roberto Mancini in the Wembley final, and I can deeply feel his trust. "

You mentioned your injury, are you surprised that it takes so long for players to recover from serious injuries now?

"To be honest, I often ask myself this question. I torn a cruciate ligament and fully recovered five months later. I started in the Champions League final, ended that season brilliantly, and won the gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics. I think I got stronger after recovering from injury, never relapsed, and did not perform. Every case is different, and I will always be grateful to Dr. Borrell. "

Everything turned in Athens

"I think in addition to the championships I won, we are targeting with their unique style of competition Aiming at an era. Cruyff's philosophy set the tone, and there were only three foreign players at the time, and the important foundations were all their own. I had a feeling that a cycle ended early after the Athens final. We had won the league and could have kept the team for at least two more seasons. I thought the change was crazy. Later, Cruyff laid a good foundation for a group of young players with the 'Mini Generation', but the negative results would kill the coach. "

After the arrival of Robson and Van Gaal, did your life change a lot?

"The change is very big, we respect Cruyff because of everything he has achieved. Robson doesn't have the courage of Cruyff, but I think we have a great season. Robson was under pressure and had a hard time because there was a feeling that he was the transition coach before Van Gaal arrived. The team ran on its own and the players managed more. Mourinho tried to be the bond between the team and the coach, and he helped us. "

You have been very smooth to adapt to the Premier League

"Adaptation was not difficult for me, and in my first season, I was selected as the league's best rookie. However, the change in football style was drastically. I remember when I was away at Leicester City, I asked myself what was going on. I rarely used the ball in training, more like track and field training. My first few seasons were good, but when I finally won the main position under Ranieri, I was seriously injured and I didn't want to continue. "

Are you determined to transform into a coach?

"I never really planned it, in fact, I started working at COMRadio, and then I signed up for the coaching course with Guardiola, Enrique and others. After getting the coaching license, I thought maybe it would be fun to try it out. "

As the coach of the Barcelona Legends, what is your favorite thing about it?

"It's great, I enjoyed talking to the players and seeing them follow my guidance. It's a great thing to see the atmosphere formed between former teammates and how players who weren't known in different eras get along. I think Legends is a great way to output the Barcelona brand, and I love the charitable nature we have. We've been involved in a lot of social activities in hospitals and elsewhere. We also interact with Barcelona fans around the world and schools. It's great to travel and learn about the world on behalf of the Barcelona brand. We've noticed the huge interest of the fans, and it's fun to have a lot of young people enjoy the game of players they've never seen in person. "
