As the World Cup goes on, Netherlands coach is more and more witty. Either it’s because this is his last major tournament and he is just enjoying being with the team, or it’s because he tries to put the pressure off the players it’s not known, but it’s certainly refreshing. Netherlands are due to meet one of the favorites to win the title – Argentina, and facing Messi and co. is stressful enough for the players, so Van Gaal decided to keep the spirits high with his statements.😭 Louis van Gaal :« Je suis vraiment désolé qu’Ángel di María ait dit un jour que j’étais le pire entraîneur qu’il ait jamais eu. Memphis a dû faire face à cela aussi à Manchester. Et maintenant nous nous embrassons sur la bouche. » pic.twitter.com/QKGJGnHlIJ— PLFrance_ 🇫🇷 (@PLFrance_) December 8, 2022 Since the beginning of the tournament, he already had a few ‘antiques’ like asking his wife in front of the journalist to come to his hotel room for a sex, or kissing Dumphries at the press conference. He also labeled Brazil as ‘just a counter team’ and said that Argentina’s weakest link is Lionel Messi. And now, he joked that he and Memphis Depay are kissing each other in the mouth.Di Maria: ‘Mourinho is insane, he fights with anyone, Neymar is a living birthday party”The reason for this act was the journalist’s question about meeting Angel Di Maria at the quarterfinal match. It is a well-known fact that the Argentinian didn’t like his life and career at the Old Trafford, and he said that Louis Van Gaal was the worst coach he had, since he was the Red Devils’ manager at the time.“Di Maria calling me the worst manager he has ever had? He’s one of the few players with this opinion. I’m really sorry about this and I find it sad he said this. Memphis had to deal with it too in Manchester, and now we kiss each other on the mouth. That kiss on the mouth… Memphis doesn’t want it, but this is fine” Van Gaal replied, causing a laugher from his player but also the journalists in the room.Di Maria’s wife: ‘I wanted to kill myself in Manchester’Di Maria arrived to Manchester from Benfica and had a terrible time, both he and his wife, about which he talked a number of times. “My problem at Manchester was the coach. Van Gaal was the worst of my career. I would score, assist, and the next day he would show me my misplaced passes. He displaced me from one day to the other, he didn’t like players being more than him” said Di Maria his side of the story. And now he will have a chance to put a great display against his old coach and kick him out of the tournament.##NAJAVA_MECA_6871887##
