Gareth Bale says Real Madrid won five Champions Leagues under Ancelotti and Zidane doing almost zero tactics
"We didn't do much tactical work, and I'm sure you guys probably some of the best player lads, some of the best strike partners, if you never even worked together."
"Does anybody do that much? Real Champions without doing that much. Most tactics we would do is that's the key you knew if you had Barcelona or Bayern, you would do a little bit of tactics. The rest would be minimal."
"You don't need to be a coach. You just need to manage this group of players and let them do what they do."
Bale (on Ancelotti): "His man management was the best. If you weren't playing, he would make you feel like you're still his best mate. And when he needed you, he'd be like, 'You got to be ready.' And you'd just be ready."
"If LeBron's tenure with the Lakers was a failure then Joker's tenure with the Nuggets, Giannis' tenure with the Bucks, and Shai's tenure with the Thunder is a failure."
