Thanks for especially the first link. And in English as well. I had been reading quotes from Louis van Gaal’s autobiography on Google Translate of late.

Anyways, something about Louis van Gaal’s time as Barcelona coach which was raised in the report got me thinking about the time when Sir Bobby Robson passed away a few months ago. Even if I had read that the former England manager (Robson) was the interim coach (van Gaal was the permanent choice), he was actually more well-liked than the current Bayern coach.

Just my thoughts though, especially back then I read of the reactions from Barcelona fans reacting to Robson’s death.
