Van Gaal fined us because we were late for lunch: Fellaini
Manchester: Premier League football club Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal fined some of his players as they were late for lunch by a minute after training, says mid-fielder Marouane Fellaini.
The Belgian revealed that van Gaal, who is strict about time and discipline, got angry at the group of 10 players who got late for lunch and fined them on the spot.
“He blew a fuse the other day when a group of 10 of us were one minute late for lunch after training. You think one minute is nothing and it wasn’t for training, but for the canteen. For him it’s important though. He dished out a few fines. That’s what happens to late-comers and even for a red card. You get fined, too, for a bad foul,” Fellaini was quoted as saying by mirror.co.uk.
Fellaini also claimed they are getting better with time, due to the Dutch manager, and that they would be a “machine”-like outfit in the next season.
“We’ve worked with him for months and are getting to know him. His thing is circulating the ball and pressing the opponent. Everything is repetition with him. We practically do the same exercises each week,” said Fellaini.
“Next season we will be a machine. At the moment, we are running it in. There is intensity and people get stuck in. Players limp about but there is never a foul. There is no referee.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
