“When I was coach at Ajax, in the first half of the season, the players...” — Louis van Gaal Quote

“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.”

“It is not normal that one team dominates for 20 years in a row as the champion.”

“The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good.”

“As you get older you start being more wise about your body and the way you can adapt to certain situations in football and off the pitch as well.”

“I'm French - it's less important. Meaning, I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there - but I'm still a foreigner.”

“Just because I've got two prosthetic legs, yeah, I had to adapt in ways, but I've also become a lot stronger. It doesn't mean I'm at any disadvantage, really.”
