Van Gaal’s word

The Dutch coach was asked if the ‘Albiceleste’ was the favourite; however, he stressed that the ‘Kangaroos’ are also complicated. In addition, the strategist recalled the recent clash against the ‘Socceroos’ in Brazil 2014.

“Face Argentina? I would not underestimate Australia. He was the most difficult opponent for us in the 2014 World Cup. I would like to see what happens tonight.”the DT told the press in relation to the match for the group stage that the ‘Tulipanes’ won 3-2.

On the other hand, the strategist recognized that his team will have to refine details in view of the commitment to the quarterfinals. “We are still not good in possession. When the opponent has the ball, we do everything right. But we have too many turnovers. That should improve or else you won’t be a world champion.”he added.
