In the past ten years in football, there is a topic that has made fans and friends argue endlessly, which team is a "pseudo-giant"? The so-called "pseudo-giants" we can understand it as a team with a lot of fame but a very poor resume, below we select a team from each league, if you have different opinions, welcome to the comment area to communicate.
Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain, the big stars of Paris in the past decade can be said to be endless, and even formed a super combination such as Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, but the Champions League results are miserable, which is also the epitome of Paris' operation in recent years. Even in the history of French football, including the likes of Saint-Lindyan, Marseille and Lyon, their absolute strength may not reach the height of Paris, but the results achieved by others have at least fulfilled their own paper level. And the situation in Paris is not too much to say, a complete pseudo-giant.
La Liga: Athletic Bilbao, friends who know La Liga better should know that Spain has three major football forces, the Madrid gang, the Catalan gang and the Basque Gang, Athletic Bilbao is the leading team of the Basque Country, they basically belong to the first echelon of Spanish football before the 50s of the last century, and there are some awards, especially the Copa del Rey won a lot, but this team has not been involved in the league championship and the Copa del Rey since the early 80s of the last century, And there was no sign of recovery in sight, and we entered a long winter.
Bundesliga: Bayer Leverkusen, Bayer Leverkusen has not won a title in the 60-year history of the Bundesliga, and the closest to winning the title dates back to 2000, just one step away from the title, Ballack has been saddled with the color of tragic heroes. The same is true in the Champions League, where the runners-up in 2002 were great enough, but the winner will always be remembered as the champion. Throughout Leverkusen's team history, the championship that can be won is the UEFA Cup in '88, and this team has not lacked stars for a long time, and it has also had a good attention. But resumes don't match fame, and I can only call Bayer Leverkusen a pseudo-giant.
Serie A: Rome, Serie A northern three is the undisputed three giants, in addition to a capital team that sets off their capital that is Roma, Rome has only won three championships in the history of Serie A for more than 90 years, but Roman Prince Totti gave Chinese old fans too many youth memories, especially the 2001 crown, so that many people feel that Rome is okay, but I have to say that the team of Rome will always live in the shadow of the northern three, even Napoli, Fiorentina's highlight moments are more than Rome, As a capital team, Roma's performance is indeed a bit disappointing. Jose Mourinho's team to win the UEFA Cup is celebrated happily, how can such a team become a real giant?
Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur, I believe most fans don't know when Tottenham last won the top flight, it was in 1961, when it was the golden age of Bill Nicholson, they not only won the double at home, but also played well in the European Cup Winners' Cup, Jimmy Grievous became Europe's top goalscorer, and then Tottenham also produced many famous stars, such as Glenn Holdell, Paul Gascoigne, including Harry Kane today. It is believed that Kane has paid so many years of youth in Tottenham, and in order to be crowned a crown in his career, he also rushed to Bayern.
