Asked about Lionel Messi’s Argentina, whom he will face on Friday in the quarter-finals of the World Cup with the Netherlands, Louis van Gaal did not have his tongue in his pocket: “He is indeed the most dangerous player who creates the most chances and creates them himself. But on the other hand, he doesn’t play much with the opposition when he has possession of the ball. That’s also where our chances lie.” While the Oranje can find Brazil, the Dutch coach is not afraid of the Brazilian armada: “I saw them, it’s just a counter team. I read in the Dutch media that it was sparkling, but it’s only a counter team.”
