Van Gaal: No choice but to rotate


Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal expects it will be necessary to rotate his squad during the Christmas run of fixtures, even if that will be problematic because of injuries.

After Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, the Reds face four games in 10 days, beginning with Newcastle on Boxing Day and ending with the FA Cup tie at Yeovil on 4 January.

Van Gaal is new to the Barclays Premier League’s congested schedule at this time of year but says rest and rotation are the only ways to deal with it, provided he has enough players at his disposal.

The Dutchman told MUTV: "It [rotation] is probably a solution for that problem, because a lot of matches in so few days is, in my opinion, ridiculous.

"That is why I think I have to rotate, but then the players have to be fit and not every player is fit with us."

Asked if he had a special programme to manage the load, the boss continued: "Rest, only rest – that is what we shall do.

"We have to play these two matches [Newcastle on 26 December and Tottenham on 28 December] and that is normal in*the Premier League. I cannot change that."

Van Gaal has already used Under-21s fixtures to give valuable match practice to players who are returning to fitness, notably Michael Carrick and Jonny Evans. But what about when there are no reserve games?

"You have to train," he said. "You can simulate the matches but it is more difficult; it takes more time and it is better to play matches in the second team. But also, I give them minutes in the first-team squad in the Premier League."

The versatility of several players has been vital to managing the injury absences in the team this season. Antonio Valencia has played across midfield and in defence, while Wayne Rooney featured in midfield against Liverpool.

Asked if the captain would take up that deeper role more often in future, van Gaal replied: "It is dependable on how the balance in the team is. I need balance in the team. We have won six times in a row and that is because of the balance, I think.

"I don’t know if I shall use him always because it is also dependable on the form of the strikers, because he is a very good striker.

"I can use him in different positions and I like that because I like multifunctional players. I normally buy more multifunctional players than specialist."

Situasinya agak mirip Chelsea era kepelatihan Ruud Gullit nih, dimana saat itu Gullit sering merotasi pemainnya karena banyak yang cidera plus kebiasaan aneh Gullit untuk selalu mencoba formasi baru hampir di setiap pertandingan. Bedanya kalau Gullit saya ragu mengingat saat jadi pelatih sebenarnya dia masih merangkap sebagai pemain (minim pengalaman melatih) nah kalau Louis Van Gaal saya yakin banget karena dengan pengalamannya melatih selama ini pasti tahu mana yang terbaik :)

Ya emang sih, kendala terbesar untuk bisa melakukan rotasi pemain kali ini ada di injury, meski daftar pemain cedera udah rada berkurang, masalah lain timbul pada kebugaran / kesiapan pemain yg baru kembali dari cedera ...

No reserve team (U21) fixtures yg bisa dipake ajang mempersiapkan kebugaran pemain

Yah emang sih, bukan cuman United yg akan melakoni jadwal padat ini, semoga aja hasil maksimal bisa diraih anak2 setan merah, and no more injury please !!

Rotasi dan saat nya pemain2 versatile macam Jones, Vale, Carrick, Rooney, Blind siaga satu

Van Gaal explains tactical formation choice

Louis van Gaal has admitted to MUTV his hand has been forced when it comes to selecting his formation for Manchester United's recent Barclays Premier League matches.

The boss has been pleased with the work of Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia in wing-back slots but feels the attacking duo are not suited to orthodox defensive roles. With Rafael still to appear after injury, despite being on the bench last weekend, and Luke Shaw sidelined since sustaining ankle ligament damage at Arsenal, there has been a preference for a three-man central defence of late.

Young and Valencia have pushed forward to good effect, setting up goals against Aston Villa and Liverpool respectively, but the system could revert to a flat back four when Rafael and Shaw are back fully fit.

"Yeah, but as wing-backs and not as full-backs," the manager replied when asked how pleased he has been with Young and Valencia. "Now I am more or less obliged to play with wing-backs because the real full-backs, Shaw and Rafael da Silva, were not fit enough and that is not good. I have to select what I want but now I am forced to select. For a manager, that is not so good."

With Newcastle United welcomed to Old Trafford on Boxing Day, the Dutchman is still working out how best to utilise his players when they are all available. Angel Di Maria has been employed on the flanks and in an attacking role since initially shining in a more central position and the Argentinian's adaptability should prove useful in the upcoming games.

When asked about Di Maria's best position, van Gaal conceded: "We still have to find that out. It is also [about] the composition of the team, we have to look for the best team also because all of the players were injured so I could not select the team that I want."

With the Reds sitting in third place in the table and only being denied a seven-game winning run with the draw at Villa Park last time out, the fact the boss has still to name what he feels is his best XI must be very encouraging for all United fans as 2014 comes to an end.

Lanjut ... :D

Butuh fisik yang fit dan prima nih kalau jadi pemain United... Akhirnya mau tidak mau Van Gaal harus jeli rotasi pemain tapi sebisa mungkin tidak merubah formasi winning team.

MU Main Dua Kali dalam Tiga Hari, Van Gaal: Itu Dilarang FIFA

Manchester - Manajer Manchester United, Louis van Gaal, mengritik jadwal padat menjelang pergantian tahun yang mana memaksa timnya bermain dua kali dalam tiga hari.

Usai mengalahkan Newcastle United 3-1 di Old Trafford, Jumat (26/12/2014), 'Setan Merah' hanya memiliki waktu kosong satu hari. Pada hari Minggu-nya (28/12), mereka harus berada di London untuk menghadapi Tottenham Hotspur.

Van Gaal mengaku kesulitan dengan jadwal tersebut. Sebagai pelatih anyar yang baru bekerja di Premier League musim ini, dia harus menghadapi sesuatu yang tak disukainya.

"Menurut peraturan FIFA dan UEFA, ada larangan bermain dalam waktu 48 jam. Tapi ini Inggris, dan yang seperti itu oke-oke saja," ujar Van Gaal seperti dilansir Sky Sports.

"Saya tidak bisa mempersiapkan tim saya seperti biasanya."

"Kami harus mengadakan pertemuan setiap unit, dan juga pertemuan tim, kami juga harus berlatih 11 lawan 11 dan menyesuaikan diri dengan lawan. Kami tidak bisa melakukan itu sekarang," kata manajer asal Belanda tersebut.

Dalam beberapa turnamen, seperti Piala Dunia Antarklub dan Piala Dunia 2014, FIFA memang menyebutkan dalam bagian peraturan mengenai tempat pertandingan, tanggal, dan waktu kick-off, bahwa setiap tim akan diberikan waktu istirahat minimal 48 jam dari satu pertandingan ke pertandingan lain.

"The FIFA Organising Committee shall fix the dates and venues of the matches, allowing each team a minimum rest period of 48 hours between matches (Komite Pengaturan FIFA berhak mengatur tanggal dan tempat pertandingan, untuk memungkinkan setiap tim mendapatkan waktu istirahat minimal 48 jam dari satu laga ke laga lainnya)," demikian peraturan FIFA yang tertera untuk Piala Dunia Antarklub dan Piala Dunia 2014.

United menang 3-1 atas Newcastle lewat dua gol dari Wayne Rooney serta sebuah gol dari Robin van Persie. Kini, mereka harus mempersiapkan diri menghadapi Tottenham yang pada hari yang sama menang 2-1 di markas Leicester City.

Setelah laga melawan Tottenham, United punya waktu kosong tiga hari sebelum menghadapi Stoke City di Britannia pada 1 Januari 2015. Setelahnya, pada 4 Januari 2015, mereka akan menghadapi Yeovil di babak ketiga Piala FA.

Bukan cuman pemain United kali Oom .. :D
Ini FA bigger than FIFA :P

Tapi pada bbrp turnamen, sering juga kok jeda waktu istirahat hanya 48 jam .... ;)
