'This gives us chances': Luis Van Gaal pinpoints Argentina's biggest weakness and It's about Messi

Netherlands will face Argentina in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar on Friday, December 9. The match will be the first time the two sides meet since the 2014 World Cup semifinal stage.

When asked about stopping Leo Messi this time around, the Oranje boss Louis Van Gaal said: "Messi is the most dangerous creative player, he is able to create a lot and to score goals himself. But when they lose the ball he doesn't participate much, this gives us chances".

Pushed on what tactical plan he will use against Messi, the Dutch replied: "You will see on Friday. I won't tell you."

“I think we have big chances here. We still have three matches to go. I’ve been talking about this for a year that we can become world champions" - the coach concluded.
