In his recent interview with ESPN, Real Madrid legend Marcelo has reflected on his time at Bernabeu.
In his 15 years at the club, the Brazilian saw as many as ten coaches take over. When asked to name the best among them, Marcelo went beyond one option, naming three at once.
"The best in terms of his talks, was Jose [Mourinho] — a coach who specializes in getting into your head. It changed me into being aggressive.
"In group management I’d say Zizou, because there was a time when Kiko Casilla played 25 games and Keylor Navas smiled on the bench. He kept everyone happy.
"Carlo [Ancelotti] kept his calm way of being. We scored a goal and we were always calm. It was very good for me to have him..In my last season in that situation I was the captain of the team, but he preferred to start someone else, and that’s normal, and he has helped me on this issue."
