Barcelona legend Cruyff warns fans could drive out Guardiola

Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff says fans risk driving coach Pep Guardiola out of the club.

Cruyff believes Guardiola will have taken the jeers of fans aimed at Dmtryo Chygrynskiy as a personal insult.

It was Guardiola who pushed for Chygrynskiy to arrive in August from Shakhtar Donetsk and Cruyff believes he will be disappointed by the young defender's treatment from Nou Camp fans.

"If you criticize the player, you also criticize Pep, who signed him," said Cruyff.

Always been the case with Barca and Madrid fans...... they expect perfection all the time from their team!!! They have no idea that their team might need THEM to sing them through a bad patch. Criticise, criticise.....just like their excuse for Press.

I know that in Spain it is mostly the team that is supposed to entertain the crowd/fans, but the fans must be behind the team. I can give you one example; cl final liverpool-ACMilan, do any of you really believe that pool would have had any chance if the fans instead of singing their soul out, rather booing and whisling at the players, lifting that trophy? The answere is NO.
Visca Barca!

what does cruyff thinks? does he thinks that guardiola is perfect or what? chyky was a fluke coz i see no reason he went all the way in buying a player who is very slow in defence, he has hieght but couldn't challenge the ball in the air, couldn't even pass the ball well, wen defenders like coloccini,upson e.t.c are up for grab at a lesser price.
