Lui van Gal. Biografiia - Meier Marten

So who is he, Louis van Gaal? Former physical education teacher, who has dictatorial tendencies, or a football vizier, who has made himself one of the greatest European coaches?
Wherever Van Gaal worked, he was always accused of being a despotic champion of discipline and a zealot of control. A follower of the philosophy of total football, Rinus Michels, he is a man of contrasts: an extreme individualist, absolutely devoted to collective efforts. He believes in the team, not the individual. But that's what helped him lead the young Ajax team to victory in the Champions League in 1995. Van Gaal has won trophies with Barcelona, AC and Bayern Munich more than once, while twice serving as head coach in the Dutch national team. In his career, there is more and more bright colors and drama - from quarrels with players to altercations with the press.
Dutch football commentator Martin Meyer has written an exhaustive biography of Van Gaal, dedicated to both the coach's personality and his methods. At the moment it is the most accurate portrait of the man who tried to bring back the best of times Manchester United.
