Dominating your league and most CL teams, playing dominant attractive attacking football is what gets the world to sit up and take notice. Its why everyone is watching PSG and City closely even though they have not won anything yet.
Winning the CL playing crap football throughout will barely make a difference to the size of our fanbase. Kinda like how Inter won it and even they didnt play as ugly as we do.
I'd take 2 CL finals playing proper football that even neutrals can enjoy and share on social media over winning the CL in the Chelsea manner anyday. Well.. no I take that back.. I'll take the win to break the $#@!ing curse but from a financial and branding perspective I'd take the good football even if it means regularly reaching the semis.
Where was this great football from Psg against Real?
Man city are playing in the most popular league which also promotes itself well. Add the hype Pep gets every day and there you go.
With Psg the talk is only about big signings like Neymar. I dont think french league has become more popular. How is one team dominating helping it?
I dont get your point. Do u mean we played good football reaching those 2 finals or not?
Also didnt we play good football with wc names all over the field with Lippi and still lost those finals. We even largely dominated against Madrid 98 and then they win. And 2003 final was not great but who wouldnt have liked to win it. Ifs and buts without Nedved and such heartbreak for Buffon who was immense.
Im not sure how much playing sexy football will boost our finance? Gloryhunters will buy the shirts of teams who win it. This sounds like mid00s Arsenal. Playing good football at the time but winning shit all.
