I beg to differ, with great players managing becomes easier, but
one cannot say they no need to be managed or simply put whaever
tactics (which is equal to no need to manage them). Maybe against
weaker opponents the tactics doesnt count for alot, but you must
remember great teams have to meet other great teams as well. When
strong teams battle it out against each other, luck, players and
tactics all come into play. Real Madrid and Inter Milan are classic
examples of teams with wonderful talents (beckham, zidane, robinho,
cicinho, carlos, baptista, adriano, samuel, martins) and by right
whatever tactics the managers put they will also win the game, but
ironically what you said didnt come true.
