    Why should you care about Louis Van Gaal’s Netherlands? A side he has managed two times before. So, what’s different about this time?
    Alex Stewart tries to convince Joe Devine to care.

    I used to think Alex’s emotionless demeanour was just his shtick but now I’m convinced he is a delightful, exuberant person who runs to work to share his new passion with his football friends only to be continuously interrupted by Joe - who then delivers the crushing news that he doesn’t care. Leaving Alex the dejected husk of a man that we all know and love

      It's a teacher rather than a 'manager', in the Dutch tradition of football coaching. When he took over Ajax it was in debt and had 10 million guilders (about 2.5 million Pound back then). A few years later when they beat AC Milan for a 3rd time to win the CL it was up to 25 million guilders, but still at least 6 times less than AC Milan. They couldn't afford matured players of that talent. So that's where the teacher comes in.
      What Van Gaal teams do is punching above their weight massively. The Netherlands needs to because this is not a world class squad nor a golden generation. Three world class players, one or two that could become one, a few just a little below and a lot of mediocrity.

    • @aasemahsan

      @@jc6087 Yes, could've mentioned Van Der Sar. Van Gaal gave him his opportunity. I think Bergkamp was pretty well established in the team before Van Gaal came along. Cruyff gave him the chance as far as I know. I don't think Van Gaal had anything to do with the Laudrup brothers either.

    @shredmaster2000 3 года назад +4

    Guys I have never said this but I think it every time so I'm finally speaking up. The intro volume is too loud on every video. I know you want to say your bit about the athletic but it is too loud compared to the rest of the video, and it's significantly louder than other youtube videos so I always jump a little bit and turn down the volume, only to turn it back up again once the intro is over. It's a small adjustment but it would be easy to fix and greatly improve my, as well as hopefully others', viewing experience.
    Thanks as always for otherwise flawless content!
