According to the before before Manchester United manager, the Netherlands no get top attacking wingers like Nigerian legend George Finidi and na one of the reasons why the Dutch no get joy against Argentina for the World Cup Quarter Final.
Van Gaal and Finidi George don work together for Ajax Amsterdam in the early nineties during which the former Super Eagles star get rating as one ogbonge among the world’s best right wingers.
“That’s why we haven’t lost 20 games since we started together last summer. That’s not for nothing,” Louis van Gaal yarn Parool.
“Only we don’t have a right and left striker like I had at Ajax. No Overmars, no Finidi George. If we play football with wingers, it can only be done in plan B or C. But setting up two long strikers and pumping balls into the 16-meter as quickly as possible, you won’t always do that. You don’t want to play opportunistically all the time.
“You need wingers who (can go) past a man. Our football currently does not have that, not for the very highest level of a World Cup and the battle with top countries. That’s why I started playing differently. And we’ve come a long way. Just not the semi-finals. Out on pings.”
