Van Gaal proud of players who fought back against Poland
National coach Louis van Gaal was proud of his team that had fought back against Poland from a 2-0 deficit. The game in Rotterdam in the Nations League ended in 2-2. Orange thus remains in the lead in the group. “The boys sat in the locker room as if they had lost, while they came back from 2-0 and also could have won 3-2,” he said to the NOS .
Van Gaal praised the spirit and the way his players played in the second half. He was not satisfied with the first half. “The first half was not good, but those are learning moments. This is also the first time that we play against a team that defends with ten men. However, it was the same again, careless loss of the ball and then you cannot attack if they defend with ten men .”
