Iniesta: Van Gaal cares about young players

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT

Andres Iniesta has sung the praises of Louis van Gaal, claiming United’s boss commands respect from the older and younger players alike.

Van Gaal gave Iniesta his debut when he was the manager of Barcelona, and the midfielder has gone on to make over 500 appearances for Barcelona and 100 for Spain.

“He already commands respect when you are a veteran, so imagine when you have just entered the team and you are young,” he said. "But the truth is I have a special memory of him, because he is someone who is very important to me and if there was something he cared about, it was supporting the young players from the reserves."

Van Gaal: I’ve proven Dutch media wrong

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 08:37 AM PDT

Holland have had a fantastic World Cup so far with Louis van Gaal stealing the limelight with fantastic substitutions winning game after game.

Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben have been particularly impressive but it takes more than two players to progress to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Good performances and top tactics have meant that some people are even claiming Holland are favourites, which must come as a surprise to the Dutch press who wrote them off before the tournament.

"Let me tell you, the Dutch media thought we would never survive the first round, so how we ended up becoming up favourites I'll never know," Van Gaal said. "This group of players is very modest. We have outstanding spirit, outstanding atmosphere and that led to victory. Costa Rica are very difficult opponents, otherwise they wouldn't have ended up in a quarter final."
