Van Gaal
Louis van Gaal is considered a particularly hard bone. The “Tulip General” has proven this once more at a press conference.
Before the World Cup qualifying duel with Turkey, the leaders of Group G, the 70-year-old defended his game system and got into trouble with a journalist.
The media representative had asked the Bondscoach about the last chosen 5-3-2 system, which he described as defensive. Thereupon Van Gaal's collar burst.
“You have no idea!” The Dutch team boss scolded the journalist. “Is the lineup defensive football in your eyes?” Asked the 70-year-old. The journalist then answered in the affirmative.
Afterwards, the former Bayern coach said again vigorously: “I'm sorry to have to say that, but you are only a journalist. You want to spread your visions, but you have no visions. You have a vision for a newspaper, fantastic, “said the bond coach sarcastically.
And immediately followed up with a tactics lesson. “With a 5-3-2 or 5-2-3 you can attack incredibly well. Chelsea show it in different ways every time. That's why I take my hat off to Thomas Tuchel,” said Van Gaal.
Tuesday evening will show whether the Netherlands will be equally aggressive against Turkey …
