Hodgson this week said he had no plans to alter Rooney's role as his captain closes in on Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goalscoring record, and van Gaal reckons the England manager is right.
He said: "In the composition for Mr Hodgson, Rooney is probably giving more contribution to the English team in the striker's position, then I would put him there too if I was the English manager.
"He has to compare Rooney with other strikers in his line-up and that is another consideration I have to make. I have to choose between Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie and all the other strikers I have, then it is my consideration that is a different way."
Aha, czyli Hodgson ma rację i Rooney powinien grać w Anglii jako napastnik, bo daje najwięcej na tej pozycji, ale gdy przychodzi do wybrania z pomiędzy z czterech napastników, gdzie dwóch jest kompletnie bez formy, a jeden to młokos (chociaż i tak da więcej, niż tamtych dwóch) i tylko jeden da coś w tym ataku, to wybierze dwóch bez formy, bo Rooney widocznie wg niego daje więcej w pomocy, no kurwa LVG pls XD
Van Gaal even said he rates Rooney as "maybe the best striker (I have)," but that does not mean United's third-highest scorer in history will be starting further forward any time soon.
"It is not that anybody isn't a good player in my selection," he said. "I have to look at where each player can make the biggest contribution. It's the composition, which is more important than the individual player."
No, czyli Rooney jest najlepszym napastnikiem, ale da więcej w pomocy, co tu się dzieje XDD
Asked whether De Gea is now the world's best he said: "I never speak about that because I can never judge other goalkeeper, I can only judge mine.
"He doesn't save any points as he is my goalkeeper and his obligation is to hold balls and you are thinking that is an exception for other goalkeepers? It is not like that."
Czyli jak napastnik będzie strzelać bramki (nom, w MU szczególnie teraz XDDD), to też nie można powiedzieć, że punkty ratuje/zdobywa, bo on ma to robić, okej XD
De Gea is still likely to start at Deepdale as Victor Valdes continues to build up his fitness after a long-term knee injury.
Van Gaal said: "When you are out for more than one year, you have to show yourself at a lower level. Like Ashley Young is doing, like Michael Carrick did, it's always the same, it is normal."
No przynajmniej tu się zgadzam, z początku myślałem, że Valdes na tyle wrócił do formy po tych kilku miesiącach na rehabilitacji i treningach w MU, że będzie mógł grać w pucharach, no ale skoro jest jak jest, no to bardzo dobrze, że gra w U21 i tam sobie do optymalnej dyspozycji wraca.
