Van Gaal blasts English FA over crowded fixtures

By -
Louis van Gaal has accused the English Football Association of ruining the quality of the round leather game with its relentless Christmas and New Year fixture scheduling. Earlier this week, Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney, claimed it won’t be long before a player gets seriously injured during the busy hectic period. Van Gaal had claimed that the English tradition of playing every two or three days is ruining the Barclays Premier League as a spectacle. He said: ‘Everybody knows the body cannot recover in 48 hours. UEFA and FIFA has a rule, scientifically proven, everybody knows it, but we play. ‘It’s the culture of England, but it’s not good for the players and not good for the game. The FA and fans want attractive football but you see the second half [against Tottenham]and…’ Van Gaal then sarcastically clapped his hands. United travels to Stoke City on New Year’s Day for the lunchtime fixture in good form, having not lost any of its last nine games. While Van Gaal may not be happy with the fixture list, he was at least, contented with his side’s performances in recent weeks.
