Van Gaal hails second half performance, Pellegrini disappointed

Monday, April 13 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Reaction from Louis van Gaal and Manuel Pellegrini following Manchester United's emphatic 4-2 win over arch rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday (12th April).

    Script:

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

    (on whether this was the best performance from Manchester United under his guidance)

    "No, maybe the best feeling, but not the best performance. Because we started very badly, more or less like we did against Burnley (a month ago United beat Burnley 3-1 at Old Trafford) I believe, but after the assist (save) of David de Gea, we are regaining our confidence and we scored a goal, we scored a second goal... fantastic... fantastic attack also, and then yeah, the second half, now I have to say the second half instead of the first half, but the second half was fantastic, I think."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:

    (on the high expectations at Manchester City, especially after all the investment in players)

    "I think all the teams spend money. Not only our team, eh? You always talk about money, I think you must talk... it's more important to talk about football. I think that the fans of City are very important fans. Maybe we are not at a good moment, I am sure they will continue supporting this club, because I repeat, we are the whole year in second place, it was a bad 2015, very bad week, but we have, all together, to play the next six games to try to recover our position."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:

    (Pellegrini's reaction to whether there is more pressure on his job at City after this result)

    "I'm not talking about my position. It's not important."
