The Holland coach is not kind to the Seleçao, which he readily considers overrated.
The Netherlands have an appointment with Argentina in three days in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. A game that looks like a revenge for the Oranjes, who in 2014 had suffered the Albiceleste law, on penalties, at the gates of the final. ” We still have a pending account. I don’t like thinking about it because I really thought we were going to win this game “said Louis van Gaal.
This Tuesday, in remarks broadcast by the Dutch television channel NOS, the Batavian coach gladly teases the pride of Argentines, and Lionel Messi in particular. ” He really is the most dangerous player who creates more chances and creates them himself. But on the other hand he plays little with the opponent when the latter is in possession of the ball … Clearly La Pulga is not defending, and it is a boon for the Netherlands.
“It’s just a counter team”
Even Brazil, a possible opponent of Depay and others in the semifinals of this 2022 World Cup, takes issue with his rank. ” I’ve seen them, it’s just a counter team “says the strategist, a little contemptuously. ” I read in the Dutch media that it was bubbly, but it’s just a counter teamhe insists. South Korea just attacked. Too naive in the eyes of Louis van Gaal, who relies above all on the defensive solidity of his team.
