Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers sends message of warning to van Gaal
After losing to his side 3-1 in the International Champions Cup in the USA on Sunday, Rodgers has told his opposite number that English football is tougher than what the Dutchman is used to.
Despite having won league titles in Germany, Spain and his native Netherlands, the Reds manager says van Gaal is about to undertake his most difficult challenge yet.
“I think what he’ll find is the competition in this league will be different to any other league that he’s worked in,” Rodgers was quoted by the Mirror.
“I think the competition will probably take him by (surprise), and that’s from foreign managers I have spoken to over the years.”
