Why I Love FC Barcelona?

Perhaps readers are wondering why the author make a blog about FC Barcelona. I'll tell you first how I could fall in love with the greatest club in the world. The first time I watch FC Barcelona competed namely the 2006 Champions League final, when Barca beat Arsenal 2 - 1. Since then I started enamored with the style of their game, especially when Barca coached by Pep Guardiola and using tiki-taka style of play. No need to mince words again, this is the reason why I love to FC Barcelona:

1. Their Uniqe Identity

The Blaugranas have their own youth academy known as ‘La Masia’ wherein the children are taught the Barcelona way of football which essentially involves a ‘pass and move’ style to keep possession and break down the opposition defence by manipulating them and creating space.Barcelona have developed a unique identity in world football for themselves and it is something that a team can manage to do only over a long period of time.
This is a style of football used to not just win but to dominate the opponent. The players can learn this style of football only in La Masia and this is exactly the reason why one-of-a-kind players like Pep Guardiola, Sergio Busquets and the newly found Sergi Samper, can be found only in their academy and they are tailor-made to play it their way.

2. Their way of living

The influence that the team has on its fans extends to one’s life itself and doesn’t stop with just celebrating a victory or moaning a loss. However, the influence is largely sub-conscious and the DNA of the club is gradually embedded within us.

The Blaugranas are predominantly defined by humility, hard work, aggression, a winning mentality and team-play and thus these traits have been gradually embedded into every Cule.
Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff spoke about this influence on his own players during his reign as manager at the Camp Nou. He quoted the example of his squad doing everything from having lunch to training football at a ridiculously high speed.

3. They play beautiful football

If you never watch FC Barcelona, watch this video first so that you will know how wonderful the tiki taka.

Not everything beautiful is a winner, but it is still  beautiful. The current Barca generation is still playing the beautiful football they introduced last 2008-2009 season. The idea is to prevent the opponent from scoring by depriving them of the ball thru keeping the ball. They pass the ball with one or two touches, in intricate triangles formed by the players.

4. The fans

The fans may not attend much at dead-rubber games, but come an important game, and the fans will flood the Camp Nou. Every start, the fans would sing the Barca anthem with full passion that they would defeat the loudspeakers in the loudness level. Every cheer, jeer, whistle, and gasp, the fans will react to the game. Every end of the game, they will sing the anthem again, win or lose.

So that's four reasons why I love FC Barcelona. I hope you enjoy this article. Thank you for reading this article and I'm apologize if there are errors in typing and word meanings
