Football boss, Van Gaal allowed Dutch players a visit from their wives and girlfriends before they massacred Spain in the field!

Louis van Gaal allowed his Netherlands players to spend time with their wives and girlfriends at their team hotel in Salvador twice before they faced Spain.
What's more the visit from friends and family definitely kept them happy as Holland subjected the World Cup holders to their heaviest thrashing since 1951.
Van Gaal revealed : "My principle is the overall picture. The total person. The player.
"His brain and his psyche plays a part. And the psyche is influenced by his environment.
"So on Thursday and this morning I gave permission for the wives to visit the hotel and so the players could be happy.
"But that doesn’t mean this is the reason for our victory.
"I told the players I would make sure there would be points in time where the wives and families would visit them."
"We have enough players who will make sure that we don’t lose ourselves in euphoria."
"We played in a fantastic way, compact football. We used our centre-forwards perfectly......
