Former Barcelona striker Hristo Stoichkov criticized the ex-coach of Barca and Manchester United, Louis van Gale, with whom they crossed in the “blaugrana”.
“Why did Riquelme not succeed in Barça? Because he was trained by such an asshole like van Gal. This is obvious, isn’t it?
Van Gal did a lot of good things that deserve praise, but many in football suffered from his stupidities.
I enjoyed the goals of Riquelme, his assists, fints. But it’s impossible to make another thing out of one thing, ”Stoichkov said on Radio Impacto.
Van Gal worked at Barcelona from 1997 to 2000 and in the first half of the 2002/2003 season. Riquelme played for the Catalans in the 2002/2003 season.
