Johan Cruyff sees no reason to keep his head down while the Barcelona presidency election campaigns are in full swing, in which he has already pledged his support for Joan Laporta.

"It's been an exceptional year in sporting terms, with good football and titles won. It's been perfect. But that's not the whole story, there has also been a loss of values. Such as with 'La Masia'. Barça has also run away with the world championship for tweets about legal issues and that cannot be. We need to get serious", the Dutchman stressed.

"When Barcelona was doing badly, there were two decisions made that had a significant impact on the way they played and thought, and those were the signings of Rijkaard and Guardiola. Both spent eight years at the helm of the first team, developing a project in which 'La Masia' was the magic word and that is now no longer the case", he went on.

Values: "Values are fundamental, not only in elections, but in life, and Barça have lost sight of them".

"Everyone is delighted with how Barcelona are playing but there are fewer and fewer people from 'La Masia'. Signing, anyone can sign. One thing is how well the first team are working and another is how well the club is working. They are two very different things. The first team has won everything and the second, in contrast, has been relegated. That's a problem", Johan Cruyff said.

Neymar: "He's always in the centre of the storm for things outside of football. Neymar needs to play football to improve and develop in many areas that he will only achieve by playing football. The problem is that he is constantly being linked with negative things".

The attacking threesome: "Messi, Neymar and Suárez are very good players and Barça had gone a year without winning anything which always helps when you want to manage things differently. All three have had a really perfect year".
