Louis Van Gaal: “THE RESULT ALWAYS MATTERS. WITH SUCH A RESULT YOU GET CONFIDENCE,”. “It is fantastic how they have performed today. “When you see us train, you can expect something but not 7-0. It was a surprise, but they were beautiful goals and beautiful attacks.” “We introduced a new system that we have only played two times on the training pitch 11 v 11,” the former Barcelona manager said. “But the boys are willing to pick up the information. “It is fantastic how they have performed. “Last week, 10 players who played tonight were not even in our training complex. “When you want to change a system, you must start at once. We don’t have time to prepare for other things. “The other system they can play is 4-3-3 and they have played it for many years. “I can change back if the system doesn’t work. With the quality of the players we have, I can play 4-3-3 with three strikers on the bench, but I want to play with two strikers.” Van Gaal’s predecessor David Moyes usually played 4-2-3-1 as his squad was awash with players who like to play just behind a main striker. Van Gaal believes the Scot left him with an “unbalanced” squad. He said: “We have four number 10s, so the selection is not balanced in my eyes. “I have decided to play this system because of the quality of the players. But if we lose, I can change back to another system.” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena thinks Van Gaal’s introduction has sharpened the United squad up following their seventh-place finish last year. “I have nothing but the greatest respect for the show that Manchester United put on,” he said. “A bunch of guys out there fighting for jobs and it looked that way “It was a real lesson for a lot of our players.”
