Agree. I don't know how you would categorize their style of football. Maybe it's all about improvisation. They don't look like a well-drilled side.
Tbf Zidane is obviously a cautious manager, and there was some instruction about sitting deep etc. But, with those kind of players the main thing is to motivate them and the mentality. Its insane how successful that team is despite never really looking that inspiring. Its not a coincidence though.

Signing Gareth Bale back makes perfect sense, he solves so many issues.

He can play all along the top, he can cover Kane up front and he can even save us £50m on Sessegnon by playing at left back

Yeah it makes sense why Madrid players were hugging him lol.

But I've heard a lot of great players say that you get the cold shoulder in the dressing room for making bad mistakes in games, and they weren't talking about 2 awful errors in a Champions League final.
If anyone gives that poor bloke the cold shoulder they are pathetic. You have to feel sorry for the bloke, and understand everyone makes mistakes. this isn't someone making an error against swansea, in those kind of situations you can understand why players would get some slack. This is the most game the guy will ever play in his life.

Do we still get extra kick backs from Madrid every time Bale & Modric win the CL???

I think their strategy has been the same for years: buy the best players in the world for as much money as it costs, try to keep them all happy, and let them do their thing on the pitch.

Wow Bale sounded a bit angry/bitter. The interviewer asked him if he wants to stay and he answered that he wants to start every week and will have a discussion with the club

Please Levy do your thing
