For example, I remember watching one movie where Cruijff said that he bought Stoichkov because he was crazy and hot blooded and they needed that type of a spark in a team.
My point: in general, you can't have a team of 11 Iniestas or Pedris.
About Stoichkov, for younger fans, you can see that he is not "normal" from his body language, type of goals scored, but also from his passionate goal celebrations, facial expressions and look in the eye.
The infamous episode at El Clasico for Supercopa when Stoichkov stepped on ref's foot just because he wanted to defend the actions of his mentor and manager Johan Cruyff, as he thought the whole thing was unfair (the ref was on the opinion that Stoichkov dived before that). Seconds after that Stoichkov was sent off for arguing with the ref. And then it happened:
Years later Cruyff told how hilarious the whole incident was and he hardly hold his laughter during that episode.
