Johan Derksen has nothing to do with Louis van Gaal’s media antics. The moustache is talking to it General Journal asked for his opinion on the national coach, and is initially very pleased with his qualities as a trainer. However, when Van Gaal’s media appearances come up, Derksen bursts out: “I don’t get those self-righteous sermons.”

The analyst calls Van Gaal ‘a terrible man, but a very good coach’. “He proved that with third place at the World Cup in Brazil. Then he also had a not too good team, but he got the best out of it. He has done that at almost every club,” says the first part of Derksen’s argument. . The 73-year-old TV personality adds in his second part that he has ‘never heard a football player who has been part of the Dutch national team criticize Van Gaal’.

Derksen also agrees with the choice not to take Jasper Cillessen with him to Qatar. “A boy who can stop a few balls, but apparently spoils the atmosphere when he spends five weeks with a group in a hotel. Can’t use Louis. It’s just not to be hoped that the goalkeeper will make big mistakes now Then the whole country cries for Cillessen.”

What rubs at Derksen is how Van Gaal presents himself to the media. The 71-year-old elector regularly gets the laughs on his hand by striking statements or bickering with journalists. “I’ve never been able to catch him talking nonsense about football, but outside of that Van Gaal should have a gag order. I don’t like those self-righteous sermons. And as soon as he starts talking about the philosophy of the total human principle, I turn off the TV “, is Derksen’s conclusion.
