Louis van Gaal says Xavi and Andres Iniesta have him to thank for their blossoming careers ahead of Netherlands clash with Spain on Friday. The coach spent two stints at Barcelona - for three years until 2000 and between 2002 and 2003 - and during those spells introduced the midfield duo into the first team from the youth squad. Xavi and Iniesta were crucial in Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012, and remain prominent members of la Rojas set-up, and Van Gaal believes his teams opponents have him to thank in part for their success. I have great memories of them, he told Fifa. And thats first and foremost because these boys are also very kind human beings. They havent forgotten me, thats for sure, because theyre talking about me still.
