The Suicide Squad of football

Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the Squad but where does he fit in?

2) Rick Flag – Carlo Ancelotti

The men who plan, lead and motivate – Rick Flag and Carlo Ancelotti.

Rick Flag is the soldier who leads a bunch of Super-Villains on a deadly mission. On the field, everything goes according to his plans. However, unlike his superior Waller, Flag is not a man with a heart of stone. He understands the emotions of the squad members and tries to find a common ground when it matters the most to get things done.

His equivalent in football would be Carlo Ancelotti – the man who lead teams like AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid to success. A tactical genius, he tweaks the existing systems of his teams to make them super-functional.

The owners of these clubs might be blood sucking monsters who demand 100% from their managers and players, but Ancelotti is compassionate and knows how to motivate his team from the sidelines. League titles in Italy, England, France, and Spain are testimony to the fact that Ancelotti can be a good manager and motivator.
