The best coaches in the world, they have a good connection, definitely, with their players. And they ask questions. In most of the best coaches with the best teams, they're not really coaches, they're mentors. They're just trying to see the human beings and trying to keep everybody on the same page.
By coaching, if you coach Real Madrid, you have the best players in the world.
So what do you want to teach them? To juggle a ball? No. But you have to teach them to not be 25 babies. You have to teach them to be 25 good human beings who protect them on the field, who support teammates if you're not playing, and all that stuff. That shows how good you are as a coach.
