That’s why he played cheryshev when he was not allowed
Gerrard was very good though everyone has their preferences
“Okey”
Oh no! Anyway…
Lol you know, he’s just saying that to remind everyone he coached Real Madrid for 6 months 😂
Lol it’s ok to be jealous Rafa😂. Ronaldo’s boots have more legacy than every other non madrid player you have coached.
Gerrard was his favorite player that he coached.
At Real Madrid you couldn’t say that 1. Because it’s not true and 2. Because you were a horrible coach at RM. You get to say nonsense like that if you are doing a good job.
Soplapollas!
Fair enough that’s probably true since he didn’t coach for shit at Madrid
Neville needs to let him talk damn
Ok
Don’t see how you can compare two polar opposite players. Ronaldo is an attacker. Gerrard a midfielder. Modric and Kroos both clear of Steve G
his RM tenure didn’t last long. So he could have said this 10 years ago after he was sacked.

Just let him have his opinion or bias or whatever. We, as Real Madrid, don’t need to care about every stupid little thing like this.

Nothing but the truth
Well ofcourse, what can we expect from a manager who told players to do crossbar challenge as a training
How is this a surprise to anyone? Benitez coached us for 6 months, won nothing and the players allegedly turned on him.
He was with Gerrard for 6 years and he won the champions league together? Obviously he is the best player for him that he coached. If he would say anything else it would honestly be cringeworthy considering the context.
Imagine Gerrard at Madrid back in the day
What’s the correlation between working at Real Madrid and saying Gerrard was the best player he had ever coached?
Huh?
no wonder bro got us disqualified off a whole ass tournament
Lol his team talk in the half time when Liverpool won was: ‘do the best you can’
And Gerard took over and told him to stay out and told them they can’t give up.
He owe it to Gerard for his achievements
Goddamn clown
That’s because he wasn’t able to coach anyone in Madrid.
This is the guy who told Modric not to use the outside of his boot to pass.
I think it’s fair, name a better player he actually got to coach, his Madrid tenure was a joke, at the least
He didn’t coach anybody at Real Madrid
