Becoming an internet star: L. van Gaalas says I am not a clown (VIDEO)

The head coach of "Manchester United" Louis van Gaal was asked to comment on his behavior towards London's "Arsenal" and stated that such actions are not characteristic of him.

The specialist from the Netherlands became an internet sensation when, in a match against London's "Arsenal", he tried to show that the opponent's player was acting, and therefore, unable to control his emotions, fell at the feet of the referee. L. van Gaal's fall was watched by millions of viewers, and the strategist also caught the attention of internet users - many "memes" were created.

"I am not a clown," - said the Dutchman. - I am Louis van Gaal, a man and a coach. This is not part of my philosophy and I do not think that such behavior can influence the game."

"Players should think on the field, not the coach," said L. van Gaal with hints.

The strategist also added at the press conference that two players will soon return to the lineup: "Today Fellaini and Valencia need to train. So, they are close to returning."

Tomorrow at 22:00 Lithuanian time, "Man Utd" will test their strength in the English "Premier League" against "Watford".
