The Oranje cruised to a 4-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hungary-c2920 in their second match of the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign, and the former Bayern Munich boss has expressed his delight over his troops’ performances thus far.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 at Amsterdam Arena on September
7, before claiming an impressive 4-1 win against Hungary at Stadium Puskas Ferenc on September 11.
And the former Bayern Munich boss has expressed his satisfaction following his side’s decent results.
“We now have six points from two games, scored six goals and conceded only once. That's a good score overall”, Van Gaal was quoted as saying to the official KNVB website.
The 61-year-old tactician, who started his professional coaching career when he took the managerial hot seat at Ajax Amsterdam in the 1991/92 season, has made several changes in the Oranje line-up since taking over the coaching http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 from Bert van Marwijk.
The veteran tactician dropped many experienced players, with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775.
Van Gaal, who led the Amsterdam giants to Champions League glory in 1995 with a relatively inexperienced squad, admitted that experience is very important. In addition, the Dutchman also acknowledged that he could lose his job if his risk does not pay off.
“Experience is important, but you can also have plenty of experience at the age of 16 or 18. I let Seedorf make his debut when he was 16, Iniesta at the age of 17, and Xavi was 18. It's relatively easy to take a risk like that when you're in charge of a
club. It's much more difficult when you're coaching a national team. Because if things go wrong, I will be decapitated”, Van Gaal concluded.
The Dutch mentor would be hoping that the young guns continue to put in impressive shows, and earn their spot at 2014 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858.
