Every football league has some fantastic clubs, and this post looks at three of the best.
The current most prominent division is the Spanish division. The leading European competition has been completely dominated by Spanish club teams, with all the winners coming from the division in the last 5 years. The biggest dominance has come from the Real Madrid president's club that has claimed the title for the last three years. As the team is the definitely one of the richest clubs in the world it is understandable that they have been so very effective. With the funds they have, developed from the big fan base and the sales of their players. They commonly sign ‘Galacticos’, which are famous footballers from around the world that cost a huge sum, which help to promote the team on a world-wide scale. It is suggested that the club is the leading club in the world, and these enormous signings are one of the primary factors for this.
During the late 80’s and early 90’s, Italian football was the dominant force in Europe. The division had the very best players in the world, many of them coming from Italy, which meant the teams could save money as they would promote players from within their own academies. While this is not too much of a issue for the richest FCs in the world, there was not as much funding in soccer back in the 80’s, therefore home-grown players were vital to be a effective team. This is something the new AC Milan owner is striving to do, with young Italian footballers coming through the ranks, it looks very possible. By encouraging youth footballers, it frees up finances with which they can buy more valuable individual players, ones which can make a good team into a great team. Most divisions also require a specific number of local players within a team, so it will make it easier for the club to meet that criteria.
The period after 2000 was a mixed time for European leagues, nevertheless England probably had the best clubs at the time. While the champions of the top European tournament were mixed, the best club was most likely the team from the north west of England. The American Manchester United owners' control just about the most lucrative football teams in the world. It possibly has the most widespread fan base of all the European teams, with supporters coming from all over the world. The club that was so successful in the early 00’s was managed by probably the greatest manager of all time, who could get an average squad of players to beat the most impressive clubs in the world. This is one of the reasons why the club is listed in the top teams of all time. Having a fantastic coach is one of the most important ingredients to having a successful football team, and this is a prime example of why.
