Chris Coleman has stoked the flames ahead of Wales' semi-final against Portugal after already suggesting that there will be no love lost between Real Madrid team-mates Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, reports the Telegraph. Asked about the two stars, Coleman described Bale as "not manufactured, he doesn't try to be something he's not".
