JAKARTA - Recently, the Dutch national team coach, Louis van Gaal, announced surprising news. He admitted that he was battling prostate cancer.
This unpleasant news was conveyed by Van Gaal on the Dutch television show, Humberto. Even though he is battling cancer, the former Manchester United boss has decided not to step down from the chair of the Dutch national team.
He will continue to lead The Flying Dutchman at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The news conveyed by Van Gaal made the captain of the Dutch national team, Virgil van Dijk, shocked. Moreover, the coach often leaves the team at night to go to the hospital without the players knowing.
Van Dijk also hopes to make the 2022 World Cup an unforgettable one for the 70-year-old coach.
"I texted him after the interview... I also told him he's probably not the type of person who needs a lot of sympathy, that's Van Gaal," said the Liverpool defender, as quoted by Reuters.
"But I told him we would absolutely be there for him as a group if he needed him, and hopefully we can make this World Cup unforgettable for him," added the captain.
In the 2022 World Cup, the Netherlands will play hosts Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador in the group stage. The World Cup in Qatar itself is scheduled to start in November.
