Van Gaal hopes to avoid Yeovil upset

  • Intro:

    Louis van Gaal looks to avoid an upset as he prepares his Manchester United team for FA Cup third round tie at Yeovil.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager:

    "I know that also in Ajax or Barcelona. I have lost from a second division club - it's not only in England like that. It's a - how do you call it? - a gladiolus game. The dead of the gladiolus. Or you are dead or you receive the gladiolus flower. (Dutch saying meaning 'all or nothing'). It's like that - and in cup matches, it is always like that. You can win and you can lose."

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Louis van Gaal:

    "It is always a shock when you play against a lower team. Because you can assume that you have to win, but it is not like that in football. So I have lost with Ajax against a lower team - against Cambuur for example. But I have lost with Barcelona against a third division team. I cannot remember anymore - it is wiped out of my mind! But we have lost and then the criticism in Spain was very high and also in the Netherlands. So I hope that you show more, how do you say it? (Press officer: "Respect"). OK."
