The Netherlands head coach Louis Van Gaal argued with a reporter after the journalist said he wanted to play defensive football.
‘You are just a journalist who wants to implement a vision, but you have no vision of football’ said the 70 years-old manager to the journalist.
Van Gaal startes hid third tenure as the Netherlands head coach with one draw against Norway and a 4-0 victory against Montenegro.
1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (Dutch): Louis van Gaal, The Netherlands head coach:
“And the expectations are getting higher and higher to win; 1-1 against Norway, 4-0 (Montenegro) in an attractive match, and now we must win against Turkey. Now, look at the results elsewhere. Look at Italy, the European champions as they drew twice. It is not that easy. Defensive football has made its here to stay and there is a lot of applause afterward. Yes, that is the tendency of current football.”
Journalist: The one that applauses to defensive football is you. You want to play the same way as Chelsea and Liverpool.
LVG: “Is that defensive football in your opinion?”
Journalist: “Yes, Chelsea play that way.”
LVG: :” It is not, Valentijn (name of journalist). It is not at all. You don’t understand that. I am sorry to tell you this way, but you are just a journalist who wants to implement a vision, but you have no vision of football. You have a vision for newspapers, and that’s fantastic; you get lots of attention, but with 5-3-2 or 5-2-3, you can play great attacking football. Chelsea shows that every time with different player selection. I take my hat off (Thomas) Mr. Tuchel for that. He got in charge of the team in the middle of the season.”

Van Gaal is a gentleman with a very strong opinion and a absolute legend as a manager.
I love how he is not afraid to tell others when their opinion is off without insulting them.
Got to love LvG. That guy is a character!
When i look at him, i remembered "i shall survive" song ๐
Man Utd didnt back this man but are backing a guy who learned coaching from playing Football Manager. Tuchel has done great for us, still needs to get the team beyond 2nd gear.

Valentijntje hou een keer je mond want een winnende coach heeft altijd gelijk.
That reporter got OWNED by LVG!
Slechtste ondertiteling ooit
0:52 you dont understand that is mistranslated. he actually says you have no knowledge of it (football)
Man city trying hard to buy these cheap journalists to say chelsea play "defensive football". ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
He's right
Man effectively said โshut up & type your articlesโ. King Louis of Holland ๐ฅ๐๐
This Valentijn guy very recently said Sebastian Haller from Ajax isnt good enough to be played in Champions League matches and therefore should not be selected at all. Yesterday evening, Haller scored 4 goals in Portugal against Sporting, a record ammount of goals in one match for a player (only Van Basten did it before him in the Champions League).
How is this an outburst, Louis schooled him, nothing more.
Is it me or LVG seems to get bashed by the media so much. Actually feel sorry for the guy.
To be fair Van Gaal was one of the pioneers of the modern variations of the 3 at the back. When he was in charge of Holland and when he took change of Manchester United, Conte revolutionized it further. But this guy deserves huge repect.
He is so utterly gross.
King Louis is back!
bro, I have permission to download your content๐
Louis Van Gaal's orange army!!!
Louis—- Another stupid stupid question!
I wouldn't call that an outburst, but anyone that claims Liverpool plays a defense-first brand of football needs to be called out.
Cultural differences: Van Gaal has the courtesy to speak his mind.
