Der nicht synchrone Kommentar ist tatsächlich ein Ärgernis. Aber geiler Stadionton :rocky:
Ich habe gestern das erste Mal in diesem Jahr seit dem Boxing Day ein Manchester Spiel in voller Länge gesehen. Was mich extrem gewundert hat, dass man nicht die Handschrift von van Gaal erkennt. Wenn ich zurückdenke an seine Zeit in München, da ließ die Mannschaft zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Saison den Ball schon richtig gut rollen. Vorne war da zwar auch viel auf Zufall und Robben ausgelegt, aber ansonsten lief der Ball. Das vermisse ich komplett und da ich nicht glaube, dass vanGaal von seinem System abweicht, war das schon seltsam zu sehen.

Manchester United have spent too much money and time giving Louis van Gaal everything he has asked for this season to begin to contemplate dispensing with their Dutch manager this summer – even if he fails to achieve the club’s target of Champions League qualification.
From the £59.7m British record signing of Angel di Maria to the expensively-installed Desso pitches at the club’s Carrington training centre, Van Gaal has wanted for nothing at Old Trafford. Efforts to play a lucrative friendly game in the Middle East were vetoed by Van Gaal in January, while this summer’s pre-season tour of the United States has yet to be signed off because the 63-year-old continues to pore over the logistics and commercial demands which will be placed on his players.
From the first day of last summer’s two-week trip to the States, when Van Gaal complained bitterly about the two-hour journey time between the team’s Beverly Hills hotel to the Pasadena Rose Bowl for training 24 hours before the opening game against LA Galaxy, the United hierarchy, led by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, has danced to the manager’s tune.
While David Moyes’ appointment was made on the recommendation of Sir Alex Ferguson, significantly Van Gaal is Woodward’s man and he is determined to ensure he is given the time to succeed. And having witnessed Ferguson’s team of champions unravel under Moyes last season, Woodward and United’s owners, the Glazer family, have ensured that a no-excuses culture exists under the new manager. That is why he will remain in charge at the end of this campaign to continue his work.
If United are in a similar position of being uncertain of Champions League qualification in 12 months’ time, Van Gaal will be deemed to have had ample time to impose his personality and blueprint, yet that fork in the road is not yet on the horizon. Moyes was sacked last April because the Glazers and Woodward had become alarmed by the downward trajectory of the team under the Scot.
While there is an acceptance that Van Gaal may fail to secure a top-four finish this season, there are no such concerns of the squad nose-diving under the former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach.
There is, furthermore, an understanding that even the £150m invested on new players last summer was merely the first stage of rebuilding at Old Trafford. More will be spent at the end of this season, with Van Gaal to be given the opportunity to recruit the players required to make his philosophy work rather than attempt to build a team with personnel that he does not sufficiently trust to perform as he demands.
When he was handed a list of potential signings after accepting the United job last May, Van Gaal instructed Woodward to abandon moves for German midfielder Toni Kroos and Cesc Fabregas – Moyes had all but secured the services of Kroos from Bayern Munich prior to his dismissal – as neither player would fit his requirements. Deals for Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera, which were also well advanced by Moyes, were, however, signed off by Van Gaal.
But with the Dutchman not starting work at Old Trafford until July 16, following his run to the World Cup semi-finals with Holland, United suffered a disrupted pre-season for the second consecutive year having allowed Moyes to start on July 1, rather than immediately after Ferguson’s departure two months earlier at the end of the 2012-13 season. With his delayed start and the necessity to overhaul the United squad to the extent that 14 first-team players were allowed to leave, United are determined that Van Gaal will be given the opportunity to oversee every aspect of this pre-season, including player recruitment, training schedules and warm-up fixtures.
Another summer of upheaval is regarded as a risk not worth taking, even if the summer is spent preparing for a Europa League campaign rather than a return to the Champions League.
