Might also be bonuses in the contract of the players related to how much he scores… That for some teams or players make them more prone to make the goal themselves than giving away the goal to some others…

Truly love the classic old english stadiums that are almost extinct right now. Those that were so incorporated into the neighbour that it was a “neighbour” too. Those were you could walk to the stadium along those working class terraced houses, almost like the once you see in such as peaky blinders etc. Also the structure of the stadium itself… Hard to find more beautiful stadiums than old highburry … or villa park… A masterpiece… and all the local life that were around those stadiums… with pubs that had been there since the mourning… the corner shop were you could catch your local food. Word to think that next year another one of those (Goodison Park) will be gone…

Sure someone can. Real Madrid didn’t win the european cup between 1966 and 1998 … that’s 32 years… can happen again and then other can catch up with them. Teams like Liverpool, Milan, Bayern etc. can win several titles while RM is out of it.

Though we rarely got to see international football on tv back in the late 80s early 90s… must probably say some of those players from what then was then Yugoslavia. Dragan Stojkovic had crazy skils. Though he didn’t get the same career as others of that generation (Procineski, Savicevic, Pancev etc), think he had the best skils of them all.

Found this videoof his skills… just look how he dribles Ruud Gullit… one the best players and biggest star in AC Milan in the world at that time… just falling to the ground…

Milan is more than football (fashion design, business, fast cars, facism/mussoini etc)… While Liverpool is purely football (if you look away from 4 guys who made a band in the 50s/60s). That makes Liverpool FC a bigger name in Liverpool than AC Milan would be in Milan. Liverpool is famous because of its football club, while Milan is not.

To some degree you can say that Liverpool are one of those town/cities that is famous because of its football… Milan would have had a name anyways. Visiting Anfield is one of Liverpools (the city’s) main-attraction, while san siro is not a main attraction of Milano…That’s the difference. Football is everything in Liverpool, while in Milano it’s just one of several thing… So howcome Milan be a bigger club, when they’re not even the most important thing in the city.
