For Louis Van Gaal the world cup in Argentina was fixed and they end up winning it because in their opinion Messi should be world championsome serious accusations that lead to relive his old quarrels with South American soccer players.
Users in networks exploded against the Dutch and they assured that he is still hurt after the defeat of the Qatar 2022 World Cup in a match remembered for controversy and strong confrontations between both teams.
Background of Louis Van Gaal with South American footballers
Van Gaal’s problems with South American footballers go back to one of his stages at FC Barcelona where led to the departure of a star from the team as the Brazilian Rivaldo was then.
In the same FC Barcelona He never allowed a footballer of the stature of Juan Román Riquelme to shinewhom he wanted to change position and who finally ended up forcing his departure to Villarreal.
Another of Van Gaal’s strong clashes took place with Ángel Di María during his time at Manchester United, a great footballer who did not end up establishing himself at the club due to strong pressure from Louis Van Gaal. He now charges at Messi and evidently proves not to have gotten over the World Cup loss.
Players from the Netherlands did not support Louis Van Gaal’s statements
Virgil Van Dijk, captain of the Netherlands National Team, assured that neither he nor the team agree with the words of the former coachdespite respecting their opinions.
Van Dijk made it clear to the NOS chain that does not coincide with Van Gaal like the rest of his companions. From Argentina, Van Gaal’s words are taken as another provocation towards Messi and they called him hurt.
What is true is that this chapter of Louis Van Gaal represents another long episode of his differences with great South American soccer players that they don’t seem to be to his liking and that every time he speaks he shows it without any type of filter.
