Hristo Stoichkov he never forgets the rifi-rafes he is with Louis Van Gaal, with whom he had ups and downs in 1997, the year in which they coincided with FC Barcelona, one as a player and the other as a coach. The Bulgarian, which is not the first time he has attacked the Dutchman, has done it again. This time in an interview with ‘Relevo’.
“Luis? Luis who? I don’t want to say his name out loud. When it comes to him, I can’t think of anything.” Stoichkov doesn’t seem to have anything professional against him, but he does as a person. “He is a great professional. Nobody will deny it. The training methods, triangle game and the training was good, but as a person I don’t like him. Maybe I’m also a bad person, but I don’t want to talk about him. I don’t know him. “Nobody likes him. I’m not good at everything either, but I try to improve those aspects. I don’t want to be like him.”
The former midfielder insists: “Let’s talk about someone else, not him. He is nobody in my life. He is false. A liar with whom I don’t want to waste another minute. He is not worth it.” During the interview, Stoichkov showed his sympathy for Johan Cruyff: Stoichkov was more positive about Cruijff. “As soon as I returned from Paris after receiving the Ballon d’Or (1994), I saw Johan happy, with tears in his eyes. I really realized what Johan Cruijff was to me: a father and a teacher “.
