The reason spain won the world cup was because of Barcelona. It is the same reason why Argentina never won anything even thoigh Barcelona's best player was messi.
Spain won things because of xavi & iniesta. Simple.

What guardiola did was revert back to something van gaal started off (although barcelona did have cruyff's influence), it was a team of individualistic players when guardiola took over.
Then you have thomas muller who will break Klose's world cup record who regards van gaal as his uncle
. Fecking schweinsteiger was a winger & went through the same fan discontent when players like Mcnair & Blind have changed positions.
Robben was half the player before van gaals stint at bayern.
Just have to give up really. People can call me an apologist - but i have players who have WON things consistently backing me up - whilst the anti van gaal brigade is made up of individualistic players like ibrahimovic & rivaldo & the individualistic spoeting directors caring about money.
