Louis van Gaal vs. Victor Valdes provides only one winner at Man Utd
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal plans to sell Victor Valdes after the Spanish goalkeeper refused to play for the reserves last season.
For every player keen to extol Louis van Gaal's virtues as a motivator and tactical innovator, there's always someone else who has a grievance to air.
This isn't an extensive list -- this story would just be full of names and nothing else if it were -- but Rivaldo, Johan Cruyff, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mark van Bommel, Ronald Koeman and Hristo Stoichkov are just some of the illustrious former and current players to have clashed with the Dutchman.
Most recently, as revealed by ESPN FC's Andy Mitten, Van Gaal gave Robin van Persie a public dressing down and told him train on his own in front of other players, which infuriated the striker and ultimately saw him move on to Fenerbahce. Now, making a re-entry on LVG's list of dissenters is Victor Valdes, the soon-to-be ex-Manchester United No. 2 goalkeeper after he was publicly admonished by his boss and chose to hit back on Twitter.
Valdes is charged with refusing to play any more matches for United's reserves last season, having already featured in three after his move to Manchester in January. If that is the case, it's an unforgivable dereliction of duty from someone who was handed a chance when he really needed one. United owe Valdes nothing.
Being asked to play with the reserves is not a slight on Valdes' character or ability. No matter how highly he regards himself, surely he can't think he's better than David De Gea or worthy of usurping him. Especially not last season, when United needed a sure thing in goal as they dawdled over the line into fourth place.
Valdes was returning from a career-threatening injury on the wrong side of 30 with clubs understandably wary that he may have had his day. He wasn't inundated with offers; United came through for Valdes, as did Van Gaal, and to complain about his treatment seems rather ungrateful, while his conduct on Twitter was stupid.
Van Gaal did not say Valdes refused to play in any reserve games for the club; he implied that Valdes refused to play in any more. Returning to the point about doing as you're told while a rookie, Valdes now has a right to query his manager's actions, but ultimately, he should be doing what his boss has asked in this situation. It's for his own good.
Arguably Barcelona's greatest goalkeeper of all time, Valdes was down on his luck in 2014, having seen a potential move to Monaco scuppered by an anterior cruciate ligament injury in what turned out to be his final appearance for the La Liga giants. United offered him the chance to train in world-class facilities to get him back into football, and after a few months, Van Gaal offered Valdes an 18-month contract with the option of an additional year.
This was Van Gaal's second show of faith in the Spaniard, the first being when he opted for Valdes instead of Pepe Reina when in charge of Barcelona in 2002. Both men coveted the starting spot at the Camp Nou and Valdes won the race, making his rival depart for Villarreal.
After Valdes made nine first-team appearances that year, Van Gaal later dropped his new No. 1 back into the reserves after opting for Roberto Bonano and Robert Enke for a match against Villarreal, and a second-division clash at Reus beckoned. However, Valdes missed a Friday training session ahead of the Reus match the next day and explained to Van Gaal that he needed the weekend off to think about his future.
"He has not turned up for training, and I see that as a refusal to work," the Dutch coach explained at the time. "The club now has to solve the problem."
Valdes apologised, and Barca director Javier Perez Farguell revealed the goalkeeper had been fined the maximum amount possible.
"He [Valdes] explained the reason for his actions and has pledged that his attitude will improve in the future," he said then. "He will return to training on Tuesday and then be back with the first-team squad on Thursday. But if he is told to play for the B team, then he will.
"He says that he did not understand the decision by Van Gaal, but it has all been sorted out now, although the club will impose the maximum fine for cases such as this. He has promised to return to the way he was and will rebuild the trust the coach has shown in him in the past."
As a rookie trying to make your way in any career, let alone football, you do as you're told by your superiors until you're in a position of power to call the shots. Valdes wasn't, and his behaviour was deplorable.
He lost the battle but won the war, though, as he regained indispensable status at Barcelona. Van Gaal, meanwhile, lost his job with the side three points above the relegation zone and an unforgivable 20 points off Real Madrid.
Fast-forward to 2014, and it appeared that relations between the pair had been repaired when Valdes spoke of a "dream" return to working ways with Van Gaal.
For a man who has won six La Liga titles, the Champions League three times and World Cup and European Championship trophies, it isn't hard to imagine that Valdes has an ego. If anyone is highly successful, it's only fair to assume he has much self-confidence. But Valdes' conduct on Twitter suggests he did not learn his lesson the first time around.
David De Gea's uncertain future and Victor Valdes' impending exit leave United in a state of flux in goal.
Nobody can be certain whether Valdes would have been given the chance to become United's No. 1. De Gea's transfer saga has become achingly tedious, but imagine if he did leave for Real Madrid and Valdes kept his mouth shut.
If, then, Van Gaal again refused to give this goalkeeping great a game, Valdes would be within his rights to speak up. Having been given the chance to resurrect his career, complaining about being asked to play in a reserve side that Robin van Persie and Ander Herrera also featured in is biting the hand that attempted to feed him.
If you're on your way back from injury, you play in the reserves until you're ready. It's not an alien concept, and it's something a lot of clubs do. If a better goalkeeper is ahead of you in the first team, you wait your chance. If you're tired of waiting, you leave. But there's a dignified way of doing so, and while Valdes may disagree with his treatment, he comes out of this messy episode looking the worse.
While Van Gaal criticising his player in public will polarise opinion -- and you can appreciate the view that he went too far and could have kept this in-house -- you don't cross the boss.
Van Gaal, a Champions League winner and multiple title winner, is an abrasive, ruthless man who clashes with his players and removes them when he feels they're expendable. Remind you of anyone?
十多场的u21比赛只打了三场，一个大伤过的门将，又抢不过de gea的首发位置，不打reserve怎样找回状态？还是应该在争四的重要时刻拿下de gea给他练级？或者如果de gea受伤了，可以expect他马上in form立刻顶上？ btw，我支持把不能接受教练安排的人扫出门没问题，不过不应该把问题公开化，应该私底下处理就好，至少给他留点情面。

。问题是有没有必要把矛盾公开罢了。或许+2这样做是有他的用意的，好像他和van persie的矛盾也没有公开讲，也许是想借这次机会警告大牌：
