The crash was also the coaching staff, the fans, it was overall, no one understood, and the team from Germany, which is good, took the opportunity."

Louis van Gaal: "I asked two players to take the first ball before ending up with Vlaar. I thought he was the best player on the pitch so should have confidence. I taught Romero [Argentina keeper] how to stop penalties, so that hurts. We were the club to bring him to Europe. He was a big talent, and someone who has the qualities to do that."
