Cruyff: "Messi over Cristiano because he is a team player. He makes the team play better and also scores goals. Overall Messi is better."
Cruyff: Ballon d'or? No doubt it's Messi's."
Cruyff: "If you don't think that Messi will win the Ballon d'or you don't understand football."
Cruyff: "It's absolutely ridiculous to me that some people actually think Messi isn't the best."
Cruyff: "This Barça is different than Pep's Barça? I believe it is. Don't you? Just looking at the midfield's influence would prove it."
Cruyff: "Xavi is one of the best players; he positions himself correctly, controls the rhythm & decides when to send the wingers to the front."
Cruyff: "It's difficult to explain Xavi's influence and importance because a lot wouldn't understand."
