The fact is that the game “Barcelona” was based on the control of the ball, and Kroof needed a technical defender, understanding the game in the pass and capable of playing it.

But that's not all. In addition to a powerful blow, Kuman had simply an amazing long pass of meters. And this also needed Croif. How often did that Barcelona lullous the opponent with a calm roll of the ball, after which the long gear followed from Kuman and Stoichkov, Begiristain, Salinas or Romario alone went to the opponent’s goalkeeper.
