according to your logic is more important to be LOCAL champ rather than being a WORLD champ?
whats the point of having the CL or World Cup if what only matters is the LOCAL LEVEL?
can you point to a league style format for international football?
Yes, unless you really believe Porto were the best team in Europe in 2004, Liverpool were the best in 2005, Milan were the best in 2007, and so forth.
Sometimes teams fluke out wins in CL. It happens a lot.
I didnt say it only matters, but true strength is shown by what you do week in and week out in a round robin format. It would be one thing if he was managing in Portugal, Uruguay, or Turkey all of those years, but breh has been in Spain, Italy, and England.
