If you were a manager in soccer heaven and had just enough cash to?
Ill get Cruyff & Messi without hesitation. Football Intelligence check. Team players check. Ability of Both players to fit in the same system check. Cruyff runs my midfield, Messi is my firepower trump card. Cruyff is the extension of the coaching staff on the pitch, Messi is the finisher of the plans. Cruyff ensures beautiful football, Messi brings it to amazing. Cruyff leads the team, Messi carries it. Any egoes and potential rivalry to get in the way? I dont think so. Building a successful team does not equate to getting the best players. It means finding the best players to fit in it.
