"People don't know what I went through when I was in charge of Barcelona. Johan Cruyff criticised me almost every week. He always attacked me via his columns in the media," said Van Gaal to College Tour.
"Cruyff is a real icon in Barcelona, just like someone like Uli Hoeness in Munich. The fans always believe what they say, even though they're not directly involved in what's happening at the club.
"I managed to do a good job at Barcelona, despite Cruyff's attempts to frustrate me. Cruyff has said so many things, but has never taken his responsibilities. He has been trying to frustrate me so many times that I'll never forgive him for what he has done."
2 La Liga's in 3 years was a decent record
His main problem, was the CL... only reached the semi-finals for one time... and in barça, that's nothing...
considering your piss poor record in the CL through out history till 5 years ago it's something
well, nothing surprisingly... Cruyff has always been deepshit like that, i dont remember a comment in the media that has been on place...
Tbh Johan talks shit most of the time, yes sometimes he's right but most of the time he's wrong.
