"Liverpool" intimidating L. van Gaal: "I think my system is working"

Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, pressed against the wall due to poor team results, is defending himself.

According to the Dutchman, external factors prevent him from achieving better results.

"I believe that my system is working. We have to accept the consequences because we lack players, and we have to compete in three tournaments. It's getting very difficult to play," the specialist said.

"Of course, for now, the desired results are not there, and that's not enough when you want to become champions in both the Europa League and the FA Cup.

When you look at what you have done this season, you still can't change the mindset of your critics. They are very negative. Do you think we played all season like we did against Liverpool?"

Many of my colleagues cannot boast of participating in three tournaments.

After the loss to Midtjylland, you wanted to fire me, but we fought and are in the next stage. We can also do the same against Liverpool and score three goals against them (the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals ended 0: 2 - ed.)", Van Gaal concluded.
