🚨🗣️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Gareth Bale on why the iconic BBC trio worked so well together without any ego clashes: "We had a great relationship and never had any problems in the dressing room." "Karim was very quiet and mostly kept to himself with the French players, while Cristiano and I played wider roles. Karim was the player who connected everything in attack, making the front three work perfectly." "We respected each other and our different qualities complemented one another. Everyone knew each other's strengths and weaknesses and adjusted accordingly." "We didn't spend hours working on tactics because we had world-class players who understood football naturally." "If Cristiano stayed forward more, others would cover defensively to keep the balance. Sometimes football is simply about intelligent players understanding each other on the pitch rather than overcomplicating things."
