The One-Man Army Paradox

Christian Vieri scored goals like he was on a personal mission from God — but somehow never won anything? Classic.

At Juventus? He was the third striker behind Del Piero and Amoruso when they won the UCL… before he even joined.

Lazio? Scored 12 goals in 22 games… then watched Milan steal the title after Eriksson’s legendary bottle job.

Inter? Six seasons of chaos, scandals, and that one Coppa Italia win over Roma — their only silverware in 16 years!

Turns out: even a ‘one-man army’ can’t carry a team that’s more drama than defense.

As I tell my FPL squad: ‘Great strikers win matches; great teams win trophies.’ And Bobo? He spent his prime playing for clubs where ‘great’ only applied to individual stats.

So yeah — goal machine ≠ trophy collector. Just ask the Scudetto-less legend.

You guys ever had a player who carried you… but never brought home the hardware?
