There is no winter break, and I think that is the most evil thing of this culture. It is not good for English football. It is not good for the clubs or the national team, and I think you should change it.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
In the football world, you have to deliver. However, as an ex-player, you always have more credit.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
You cannot buy players and know, for sure, that they can deliver. You cannot know because football is a team sport.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I thought always Manchester United can buy every player because they have a lot of power.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
The media likes me because I give honest answers. How many people in football give honest answers? I don't lie. Always the truth. OK, maybe my truth. But it is the truth.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I worked at the number one team in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and now also in England.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
Players can play bad, and certainly when you have only three days or six days training sessions in your legs, and you have to play 45 minutes. Everybody can say that it's easy to step in, but it is not easy.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
Every coach wants to train Manchester United; it's one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
With Ajax, I played Mexico in Mexico City, and our players could hardly keep up for half the match.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
It's not hard at all to make the switch from United to Oranje. For a manager, it's totally different than for a player.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
When you have a lot of ball possession, you have a lot of ball possession to create chances, not to play the ball around and not score.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
Yes, I have a philosophy, and you have to come with good arguments to change that philosophy, but, if someone has a better argument than me, then I will change.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
If you ask me how did I do at United, I will say it was my best year ever, given the circumstances I was working under. We played football that was quite alright. But it's not football that is appreciated in England.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
You are always evaluating. That philosophy is very important for me. Because of that, I am - or maybe I should say was - a very successful manager.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I have to treat all of the players at the same level with the same rules and same demands. It's difficult to understand, because the outside world is thinking when you pay a lot for the player, then you have to put him in the squad.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I am not a usual coach: it doesn't matter for me who are scoring the goals.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
It's difficult to beat German teams. They don't play as attractively as, for example, you have it in the English league or in the Spanish league. But to break a German team is not very easy.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
It's a principle of my philosophy that you have to respect the individual human being.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I was a fan of Henk Groot, former striker of Ajax, who scored many goals with his head. I thought, 'I can do that also,' but I couldn't.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
You need always guts to put youngsters in the squad and also in the line-up.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I think it's fantastic to be here in England. They live football: football is living, and living is football.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
When I was coach at Ajax, in the first half of the season, the players needed time to adapt to me, to know who I am as a person and as a coach.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
It's not always the fault of the manager when a player is not performing well, I can tell you.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
We need to learn that in the Champions League, the referees are vigilant and quick to whistle.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I think I could have worked as a technical director. But in this role, you can't attend training or say anything for fear it won't suit the coach, directors, or media. I don't think I want a job like that.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
I have a philosophy. I was convinced of it, and by winning trophies in four countries, I proved the philosophy worked.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
It has been an honor to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.
Quote by -Louis van Gaal
Sometimes players are very fed up with my communication, but that's what I do, and they know how I think. But they know I am very transparent.
