Have an opinion. This is what a journalist will say. To make political, social intervention with his positions, with his proposals. Such was the director of the French newspaper L'Equipe, Gabriel Ano. You will tell me it was other times then. Nothing was limited to the role of the spectator, the reader, the user, he did not pop his nose like an infected cock to make his comment. I'm here too.
Former footballer and sports editor Gabriel Ano of 1934 had the idea of internationalizing football, with a European event. The teams play in their national championships, why not the best of each country?
Until the mid-50s, a cup with the teams of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the "Latin Cup" was being held lightly and unreliably. Gabriel Ano returned in 1953, with the proposal to hold the "cup" with the champion teams of Europe.
The war is over. People want to forget the war. The plane is increasingly becoming a means of transportation internationally. The first championship cup is an event with the participation of 16 teams, the 1955-56 period, which from 1992 has evolved into the league championship. On September 4, 1955 became the first in the history of the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon-Partizan Belgrade.
Gabriel Ano, who died at 1968, as of today at 10 August, had taken Honvad Budapest back, for some of the greatest team of all time, on her Western European tour. Watching the Hungarian team then wrote to Hipp: "Europe's time has come!".
The Honved of Puskas and the other gamblers, you write their names and you shudder, Kocic, Bozik, Cibor, Grosic, Laurent, Hedeguti…
Real won the first 5 European Champions Cups. Then Benfica took two and followed with three cups the Italian teams, Inter and Milan. England, the generator of football, as expected, snubbed the European Cup and therefore was absent from the first tournament.
