From Bayern Munich's local neighbours 1860 Munich to Barcelona's nearest rivals Espanyol, HITC Sevens takes a look at 7 football / soccer clubs who are seemingly forever in the shadow of their much larger crosstown rivals.
@Zam Zam Fati is the only player to have had a breakthrough. Alena and Puig looked promising but haven't been given a proper chance. Bayern, RB Leipzig and Dortmund's academies are miles ahead of La Masia
Yxng MA 12 It was phrased like it was his first game, but in he had a full season with Chelsea under his belt so it’s not as crazy. Also it’s not really a debut as such
@@jochriss8938 Technically any game between these teams is a derby. Benfica vs Sporting is just the bigger one (it's the biggest derby in the country in fact)
Franz Beckenbauer was a 1860 Fan and wanted to join them but in a game between his former Club SC 1906 Munich and 1860 he was slapped by a 1860 player and joined Bayern. So maybe the histories of Bayern and 1860 would be reversed if it wasn't for that one slap
I think you misread the suggestion; it's the *nations* that have not made it to a world cup. Wales made it in 1958 and Sweden has been there multiple times.
Fun fact about 1860 and Bayern Munich: A part of the founders of Bayern Munich were rejected by 1860, because there didn't want to include "foreigners" (the men were from the Kingdom of Saxony).
Östersund FK met arsenal in Europa League and beat them at the Emirates. In Östersund FKs arena theres only 5k people that goes to games and theres 35 k people in the city
Sparta had good trainers in the past. However, with the most famous trainers, Sparta always relegated. Dick Advocaat, Aad de Mos, Frank Rijkaard. One of the best coach was Henk ten Cate (later Barca), 6th place in the Eredivisie.
im currently doing the TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills 2022 course two of my 4 assignments appear to be the exact same, and i am wondering if this is mistake please clarify this thank you
Day 5: 7 players or an XI of players who have defied the odds. IE Vardy playing champions league football after playing non-league. Cazorla coming back from injury, Modric going from being a refugee to balón dor winner etc.
Hi Alfie, Any chance of a video called 'The game that cost your clubs last manager his job' It would be interesting to see which Utd Mourinho game you'd pick
Dudelange from Luxembourg and Qarabag from Azerbaijan the first two names i remember but this year i think there was in Europa League a team from Lithuania and other teams from small countries
My suggestions - 7 Longest distances between Football Clubs, e.g. New York and LA, Perth and Sydney, Vladivostok and any other team in Russia. - The First or Final Teams to compete in the Soviet Top League: Where Are They Now?
I highly doubt those teams look at it like that. In England, there are way less glory hunters, and more support a team organically based on community and closeness. For example, West Ham fans. They haven't won any league titles in their whole history, but they have some of the proudest and coolest fans out there. They really don't see themselves as a "smaller" club than Chelsea or Arsenal, they see themselves as West Ham. Period. I think they could argue, however, they won the '66 World Cup. And by the way, I'm a Sunderland fan! I'm not saying it because I support West Ham or something. Manchester City have a similar case! They never saw themselves as in the shadow of Manchester United, they've also like the fact their support was more Manchester-based and felt very local. Also, why would you be jealous of United titles when you have Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr amongst your fans.
You could argue that Merseyside is getting close to this. Most of the sides in the shadow here were successful once, albeit not to the extent of Everton, but have gone decades without winning anything and win a derby match once a decade or so. while their neighbours remain successful.
Partick Thistle could have been in this list as well. People all around the world know about Celtic and Rangers but not many know about Glasgow's 3rd team Thistle. They've got a decent wee fanbase as well considering who they share the city with.
For a time in the 1930s, Bayern was actually the one overshadowed by 1860 Munich. This was primarily because of the fact the most of the Bayern members were Jewish, and you know what happened to Jewish firms in 1930s Germany.
Do a video discussing salarycap in football and if you think if UEFA for example inplemented it to all european leagues if it would lead to more competivnes in domestic leagues (Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga) and Champions league
I love all of the historical references you make Alfie. It makes the channel far exceed many others due to the links to the past and roots of clubs that you make.
Poor Partick Thistle, in the shadow of not one but two major rivals Billy Connolly used to joke about how frequently the words "Partick Thistle nil" would be heard in the sports scores
Europe's leaguese TRULY ranked on competiveness (could be assessed by past winners and amount of potential winners) You could also note the style of play (physical emphasis , tactical emphasis, technical emphasis etc even though it doesn't dictate competitiveness).
My Rant: Even as someone raised in London I'm tired of people writing off every other league because there's a team who dominated it as if Manchester United haven't won 13/27 (1993-2019) titles which is just shy of 50% coming at 48% with two back-to-back titles and two triple consecutive titles. From 1993-2004 only two of today's big 6 won a title with Arsenal winning 3 (1998 and 2002 title was separated by Utd's first triple consecutive title). From 2005-2010 once again only two winners with Chelsea being the other. Only from 2011-2019 can it be truly said the Premier Leauge is an "anybody can win it league" with Utd (what a suprise), Chelsea, City and Leicester winning it. With Liverpool finally breaking their curse in this recent times (I'll use 2016-now) you can only 2-4 are truly contending for the title with it eventually becoming a two horse race or in this season's case a two horse race with other horse trailing behind. Only 6 clubs (Utd, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Leicester) have won a title since the inception of the English Premier League with Liverpool being the 7th. Admittedly the Prem can look and is more competitive based on that factor only when looking at other league's winners from 1993 (e.g. Bundesliga, La Liga) but not all. Ironically Ligue 1 (the same league most call the "Farmer's League") has had the most diversity in winners (10, more than any other league) with dominance of the title only coming twice with Lyon 7 consecutive title run and PSG's which we're currently in. No league can claim 10-6 of the clubs are true title contenders every season, most can only have 2, 3 occasionally and 4-5 once in while as we've seen with the 19-20 Bundesliga (as it stands on May 28th 2020 4 clubs are in the 50 points range with 2nd and 5th only having 4 points between them and 7 points between 2nd and 1st). If England's "Big 6" was a Big 6 shouldn't it be as tight as that with only the Big 6 clubs in those positions. Football is football things like this are inevitable. A period of dominance is inevitable and no matter how long it lasts it will end. Quality can be found in the most obsecure and/or lowest of leagues (e.g. Kante from Ligue 2 to the Prem). I'm just tired of the ignorance.
Poor knowledge about Espanyol. They have won the Copa del Rey 4 times not once and they didn't win it in 1941, Valencia did. They have won it most recently in 2000 and 2006. They also have reached 2 UEFA cup finals, the most recent as close as 2007. They also have 11 top 5 LA Liga finishes. These aren't the no hopers you make them out to be. Great club, great stadium, rich tradition.
