'Our goal [against USA] was much more beautiful than any of theirs.'
“But it was just a counter team! South Korea only went out to attack.”, Van Gaal reiterated his comments: “Brazil play the same football as us: counter football, starting from a compact defence.“Our goal [against USA] was much more beautiful than any of theirs. Ours was a team goal! Twenty passes all in high tempo.”
“Messi is the most dangerous creative player, he is able to create a lot and to score goals himself,” Van Gaal continued. Following their victory over the United States, Van Gaal insisted there was still plenty of room for improvement from his side. “However, in the first half we were dispossessed so much and it was not necessary. That’s simply not acceptable at a World Cup. If you play top-notch countries, you simply can’t make those mistakes.
