Van Gaal saw Liverpool record a big victory over Chelsea. Goals from Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Díaz won The Reds with 4-1. Christopher Nkunku returned the favor in between. Virgil van Dijk was the only Dutchman in the starting line-up. Gakpo came on more than twenty minutes before the end, Ryan Gravenberch remained on the bench.
On social media, football followers wondered what Van Gaal was doing at Anfield, where Jürgen Klopp is in his final months as Liverpool manager. Van Gaal, who worked for Manchester United in the Premier League, appeared to have been invited by Gakpo. The former national coach knows the 24-year-old attacker from their joint time with the Dutch national team.
That was Van Gaal’s last coaching job. The 72-year-old Amsterdammer has been an advisor at Ajax since October last year. In addition to Van Gaal, Robert van der Wallen, chairman of PSV, was also present.
