Louis Van Gaal is testing goalkeepers ahead of the World Cup in Qatar
Van Gaal called up four goalkeepers for the Nations League match in Poland (September 22) and against Belgium (September 25). The Dutch, who are aiming to finish top of their group, are also preparing for the World Cup (November 20-December 18).
That’s why two more goalkeepers will join the Netherlands on Wednesday for a special shootout training session.
“I’m looking for the best penalty taker, so we test all the goalkeepers. I’m always looking for small advantages, so I pay special attention to this problem. We have seen in the past that penalties play an important role in the World Cup” – Louis Van Gaal.
The Dutch coach distinguished himself during the 2014 World Cup, changing the goalkeepers a few minutes before the end of overtime, in the quarter-finals against the team from Costa Rica, writes News.ro. Tim Krul made two saves in the shootout and ensured his team qualified.
According to L’Equipe, Louis Van Gaal will include four goalkeepers on his list if FIFA authorizes a 26-man call-up for the World Cup in Qatar.
