Louis van Gaal (70) suffers from aggressive prostate cancer | World Cup 2022

Louis van Gaal told his story tonight in a talk show on Dutch television.

“Prostate cancer won’t kill you,” he added. “Not in 90 percent of the cases. It is rather the underlying diseases that kill you, mBut I had an aggressive form and I was irradiated 25 times.”

His players in the national team knew nothing about the cancer. Van Gaal: “I don’t think you tell people you work with that. It might influence their choices or their decisiveness. That’s why I didn’t think they should know.”

“They see a blush on my cheeks and think: what a healthy guy that is. Of course that is not the case.”

Van Gaal is in his third term with the national team. At the end of this year’s World Cup, the Netherlands was placed in a group on Friday with Ecuador, Senegal and Qatar.

As a club, Van Gaal worked at football institutes such as Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
