Van Gaal praises United’s “defensive organisation” vs Crystal Palace
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal
has hailed his side’s defensive organisation in
their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday
afternoon, as per the club’s official website
The Red Devils succumbed to their second
successive goalless stalemate as van Gaal’s
troops continue to prove hard to break down
this season. Indeed, no Premier League side
has conceded fewer goals than United’s eight
this term.
And speaking in the aftermath of their well-
earned share of the spoils in south London,
the incumbent Dutchman has praised his
side’s defensive solidity against the Eagles.
“Palace showed a lot of aggression,” he said.
“They won every ball in the first quarter of the
first half, the second and third ball was always
for Crystal Palace, so they built up a lot of
pressure on us.
“But, after 15 minutes, we came into the
match and created a few chances. In the
second half, we could not develop our
positional game and could not keep the ball,
so we could not create too many chances.
Our defensive organisation was good, we
didn’t give too much away.”
