London, Rome, Berlin, Edinburgh etc it’s not uncommon for the captain to not have the biggest club(s) in the country.
Maybe the goal is to go to England, Spain, Italy or Germany when you break through in France so it’s never had the chance really to establish itself as a club power house. Football goes through phases;
Spain 60s, England 70s, Germany 80s, Italy 90s, 00s Spain/England, 10s Spain
Int they are fantastic 2 world cups, euro in the last 20 odd years.
