As Kluivert has pointed out, LVG sometimes struggles with older players who have developed their own unique style so I struggle to see De Bruyne slotting in the same manner. And who the hell do these modern professionals even think they are nowadays, with their individualism, their own carefully crafted styles and unique technique that they spent countless hours on the training ground developing? For the ship to sail, it needs all its mates pulling in the same direction. Its the reason Industrial factories work so well, since everyone knows their exact role and don't deviate from them. I like my hamburgers round. If some rebel in the Birds eye camp started shaping square shaped burgers and triangular fish fingers, I'd consider going vegan. And besides, if the players were expected to play like unique, creative individuals, how else would the likes of Ashley Young be able to slot seemlessly in at FB, CM LW, RW and CF? Could Enrique do that with Neymar? Hell no, because the demands in a non restrictive system are far too high. The beautiful thing about the philosophy is that its like a game of Subbuteo. Players can interchange position and you have the added excitement of never knowing what position your favourite player could turn up in next. Mike Smalling at CF could be a sight to remember.
The philosophy is beautiful to me. it's total football with a twist. Van Gaal is just ahead of his time. If you study the rules of netball, you'll see that players occupy certain zones like how Van Gaal has instructed his players. taken from the netball rulebook, "Only the GS and GA are able to score goals for your team. They must be wholly inside the goal circle to shoot." sound familiar? Van Gaal is no fool. He has been in the game a long, long time and senses a change coming. You wait and see. Mark my words. With all these new rules coming into football every few seasons, don't be too surprised to see professional footballers and netball players trading secrets. And then the next time you are at O.T. and see a beautifully crafted goal straight out of the netball playbook, you'll all have that light-bulb moment whilst whispering "thank you Louis" under your breath. And somewhere in the Portuguese Alrgarves, a red face, tulip headed man is basking in the sun on his inflatable water bed imprinted with the words philosophy. He has a wry smile on his face, as he was right all along.
Kinder, is that you?
