It still doesn't mean we shouldn't aspire to win our matches 4-0, there are short term goals and there are long term goals, obviously our short term goal is to get past the 2nd round of the CL next season but our long term goal is to be the dominating force in Europe, I don't see anything wrong with that, ask any team whether they would like to dominate every team in Europe 4-0 at home and 4-0 away and who is going to reply no??
Translator wrote:When did Real beat Eusebio's Benfica and go on to win the comp? Yes beating Reims in post WWII Europe is massive and comparable to football today.
We didn't they beat us in the final, goes to show they were taking it very seriously. Just goes to show how naive you are about football, obviously because Reims isn't a big gun now they could never have been a dominant force in Europe?? I mean they didn't produce a Ballon D'or winning player in Raymond Kopa or anything??
Translator wrote:Yes I am regardless of how much we do or don't win, but unlike some if we conceded 6 to a rival away let alone at home we wouldn't sit there and pull ourselves over dreamed up score lines, we actually protest and let the club and players know that it's not accepted. But you're right I'll much rather try and beat Barca at the Nou Camp with ten men by a scorelines of 0-4 and lose then actually make it to the final. Maybe rather than worrying about when we'll next win we can take the Real approach and polish our knobs over past trophies
Enjoy sitting there and loving your club while everyone laughs at it, must be a lot of love when past players refer to Real as a circus, yet you continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. Oh well at least you have a closet full of 38 hero shirts of great players that earnt respect playing elsewhere.
We like to put things in perspective, Barca that year were the greatest footballing side that has ever played football, we can't begrudge them that and besides we have beaten them 5-0 and 11-1 before. It had nothing to do with effort, the effort was there we were just simply outclassed on the day.
This is the problem with Inter's philosophy and the chief reason they haven't had as much success in Europe as other great teams, defending will almost never win you a tournament, you look at the successful sides Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, AC Milan, Liverpool etc. all of these great sides have had great attacking players with experience who go out there to dominate possession and score as many goals as possible, rarely do you see such a defensive team win in the Champions League, except I suppose when the defensive is so good that it is virtually impossible to score against them (e.g. Helenio Herrera's Inter Milan and arguably Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan pending they win the Champions League)
Anyway, I see your civility goes out the window when someone has an opposing opinion to yours, so we'll have to agree to disagree
