Louis van Gaal believes
other Barclays Premier League managers are wasting their time by shouting and
bawling at their players from the touchline.
Press Association reports unlike his contemporaries
- and one of his most famous predecessors, Sir Alex Ferguson - the Manchester
United boss prefers to relay messages to his players through his assistant Ryan
Giggs, who can regularly be seen on the edge of the technical area at Old Trafford.
Not once has Van Gaal
appeared on the touchline, home or away, this season.
That has come as
something of a surprise to United fans, but the Dutchman insists it would be a
waste of time if he ranted at his team from the side of the pitch.
"I don't see any
influence from me when I am there shouting," he said. "They do not
understand you.
"With the fans in
the Premier League shouting so much, they can't understand you. That's why I'm
always on the bench. You have trained them to read the game by themselves all
week. It is much more
important that they are more involved with the game, that they make their own
decisions. It is like a child - you educate them."
