Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal has confessed he is surprised by the amount of praise Brazil are receiving for their efforts during the World Cup.
Van Gaal actually made the bold claim that he feels the Oranje play in a similar way but receive less credit. Netherlands have actually faced some criticism for their style of play by sections of the Dutch media, clearly much to the manager's frustration.
The former Manchester United boss did not stop there; he continued by quashing the Selecao's achievements after they thrashed South Korea 4-1 in the last 16 on Monday night. Brazil's third goal was scored by Richarlison after some impressive, intricate passing between central-defensive duo Marquinhos and Thiago Silva in the build-up.
