Johan Cruyff has warned Real Madrid that they must find form or else risk trailing Barcelona.
Johan Cruyff has warned Real Madrid that their new-look side will need to find their feet quickly or risk trailing in the wake of champions Barcelona for the entire season.The Blaugrana recorded a comfortable 3-0 versus Racing Santander while Jose Mourinho’s side could only limp to a 0-0 draw versus cash-strapped Mallorca at San Moix.
Speaking in a weekly column with publication El Periodico, Cruyff stated that unless los Blancos start matching Barcelona week in week out, they could find themselves too far behind.
He commented: “Barcelona produced an excellent debut to the new season in Santander. Real Madrid will have to start rowing in order to get the club moving forward.
“Barcelona will be able to capitalise on the errors of their rivals.”
Cruyff also passed comment on the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, back to Serie A with Milan, and added that the Swede should have been more controlling regarding the comments of his agent, Mino Raiola, who has been vocal of the player’s relationship with coach Pep Guardiola.
He stated: “Your personality and the way you are marks your success or failure within the group.
“The player is always responsible for what his agent says. If you open your mouth, it should be goodbye.”
