Van der Sar: United can replicate what Liverpool did |
| Van der Sar: United can replicate what Liverpool did Posted: 20 May 2014 06:38 PM PDT Brendan Rodgers Liverpool went from seventh to almost winning the title this season, when United ended up seventh. Van Gaal signed a three-year deal with United, and Van der Sar believes Liverpools efforts should give the Netherlands coach hope. It will be difficult to get from seventh to first, but Liverpool almost did it and I think United have more qualities than Liverpool on that score, he said. Van Gaal is going to be very clear about what he wants and what he demands from his players. Its great that Ryan Giggs is going to stay on as assistant coach so that Van Gaal has input from him and will know the feeling in the dressing room. Van der Sar, who worked under Van Gaal with the Dutch national team, said the former Ajax and Barcelona coach was the experienced type United needed. Van Gaal won multiple Eredivisie titles with Ajax and the 1994-95 UEFA Champions League, while he led Barcelona to two La Liga crowns and Bayern Munich to a Bundesliga win. Of course its going to be a tricky period for him with the World Cup deciding on what transfers he will need, but if anyone can cope with a situation like this it is Van Gaal, Van der Sar said. His credentials in Spain, in Germany, in Holland with the national team speak for themselves. He has won the title in every country. He has a history of winning trophies, of bringing young players through, of working with big players. He is a very hard-working coach and he is a guy who makes players better. He also sends out the right signals about the kind of football he wants to play to the players. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Carrick suddenly really into adventure sports, Lampard reveals Posted: 20 May 2014 04:57 AM PDT Despite showing no interest in outdoor pursuits until now, Michael Carrick is suddenly determined to schedule an 'adventure day', Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has revealed. Yesterday afternoon, Lampard was surprised to find he had a string of missed calls and text messages from Carrick, a man he would describe as an acquaintance rather than a friend. "I was kind of worried something might be wrong when I saw all those missed calls, so I guess I was slightly relieved when it was Carrick asking if I wanted to go on an 'adventure day'," Lampard told FourFourTwo. "It's a bit weird because we don't really hang out as friends, plus I didn't realise he was really into that kind of thing but he was adamant I had to try bungee jumping, paragliding, rock climbing and quad biking. "He's sent message after message really pushing for me to come on this day out. Apparently Ross Barkley, Stevie Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner, the Ox [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain], Jack Wilshere and Raheem Stirling are invited too. "I guess I might go. It sounds like a decent group, not brilliant but pretty good." Carrick's invitation so far appears to have received a muted response, prompting the Manchester United man to suggest some alternative activities such as attending a circus skill workshop, volunteering to help at a knife-throwing demonstration or a friendly kick around with some Stoke players.
