5 September 2023 at 10:08 Van Gaal suggests that the World Cup was rigged: – Messi was to become world champion Dutch coach veteran Louis van Gaal has waited to make a statement about the World Cup exit against Argentina before Christmas. When he first does, he slams hard. On Monday evening, Van Gaal was present at an awards ceremony in Utrecht, and in an interview with the Dutch broadcaster NOS, he more than hinted that the organizer had arranged for Argentina captain Lionel Messi to get his long-awaited World Cup title. This is also how it went after a dramatic World Cup final against France, where the Argentines won on penalties. Incidentally, they also did that against Van Gaal and the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. – I don’t really want to say much about it. When you see how Argentina get their goals, how we get ours and how some Argentinian players crossed the line without being punished, I think it’s all a planned game, says the 72-year-old. The reporter asks Van Gaal what he means by the statement. – I mean what I say. That it was planned that Messi would become world champion. Yes I believe. (NTB)
