What would be of european competitions withous the south americans specially brazilians ? you guys have more money, so it reflect on better stadiums, better infra-structure, better organizations, better prizes, better marketing actions, but technically you guys don't have the bets teams.
Sao Paulo was a champion in 1993 agains all mighty Milan and in 1992 against the powerfull Barcelona coached by Cruyff.
What you guys don't undestand is that Brazil produces so many spetacular players that our team here in Brazil are the bests ans after that they players are sold to Europe.
For example:
Sao Paulo team :
Rogerio Ceni = Subsitute for Marcos in the 2002 world cup despite being a better goalkeeper
Fabao = Paulista champion, Libertadores Champion, World Champion
Lugano = Capitan of the Uruguay National Team
Edcarlos = Main defence player in the brazilian U20 national team
Cicinho = subsitute for Cafu in the National Team, and responsible for all 4 goals agains Argentina in the Confederations cup final game.
Junior = Subsitute for Roberto Carlos, world champion in 2002 and score goal in the World cup.
Josué and Mineiro = recognized as the best mid-field in Brazil
Danilo = Paulista champion, Libertadores Champion, World Champion
Amoroso = Main player in attack with Ronaldo in 1998, did not go to the WC98 because of a knee injury, Gemany top scorer (2002), Japan top scorer(1993), Italy top scorer(1999), Spain top scorer and Brazil top scorer (1994)
So despite not being the best players that Brazil has, it is still top brazilian players wanted all over the world.
When Sao Paulo was world champion in 1992 and 1993 some of the players were :
Rai = Socrates Brother, played 5 years for PSG
Cerezo = part of the magic 1982 WC brazil team with Zico, Socrates, Falcao and Junior
Cafu = need no comentaries
Leonardo = need no comentaries
Antonio Carlos = one of the best defence in brazilian history
Zetti = one of the best brazilian goalkeepers of all times
Juninho = ex-middlesbrough and champion in WC2002
Muller = played 4 world cups for Brazil and champion in WC94
So what I men is that all the good players that you have in Europe had first to win something in Brazil to be transfered to Europe. everything that you see there we see since they players are 15 or 16.
