Gareth Bale knows the Real Madrid dressing room inside out, having spent most of his career there. In fact, with the Spanish club he won the Champions League five times. Now, after Xabi Alonso left the team a little over a week ago, he was asked why the manager’s adventure on the Real Madrid bench didn’t go as well as expected.
he’s a great coach. He won what he won at Bayer Leverkusen.

Bale first defended his coach and highlighted his qualities. “He is a great coach. He won what he won at Bayer Leverkusen, won trophies and coached the team incredibly well. But when you come to Real Madrid, you don’t have to be a coach. You have to be a manager. You have to manage your ego in the dressing room,” he told TNT Sport.
You don’t have to do that many tactical things. There’s a superstar in the dressing room who can change the game in an instant.
The Welshman expressed his opinion, but also emphasized the quality of the White team’s players, who can throw a match off balance in an instant. And that’s what matters most to him. “You have to indulge your ego. You don’t have to do so many tactical things. We have superstars in the dressing room who can change the game in the blink of an eye. So, certainly, you can see that he is a great coach and tactician, but obviously it didn’t work out at Madrid,” he concluded.
