That's an awful comparison. van Gaal is very fatherly of his players. Just because there are the select few who speak out and the few he didn't get along with doesn't mean (surprise surprise, Sir Alex was the same) he can be compared to Hitler.
Whats he saying??
They're very different really. Fergie was more of a fatherly figure, this guys more Adolf Hitler.
That's the same grin he did in interviews after losing 3-0 to rivals or drawing to Fulham/Stoke or in press conferences when asked why he was chasing Fabregas.
Here's the same speech from another angle plus English subtitles.
Watch from 1:55 onwards and observe Ribery.
Some player pulls his ear and being the cnut that he is, he takes it badly. He's totally uncomfortable around his team and then goes on to pull the other player's ear
What a cnut... I'd put him in the StevieG bracket of players I detest.

What is he like?
All we need now is that Hitler video where he gets angry, but he is the character of Hitler.
He likes underaged women. True story.
Veteran Brazilian striker Giovanni has labelled former coach Louis Van Gaal as the "Hitler of the Brazilian players" in an astonishing tirade against the Dutchman.
Giovanni, now 38 and set for retirement from the game, had a three year spell at Barcelona in the late nineties. The arrival of van Gaal saw the Brazil international relegated to a bit-part player at Camp Nou later prompting him to sign for Olympiacos.
"Van Gaal is the Hitler of the Brazilian players; he is arrogant, proud and has a problem," Marca quote Giovanni as saying.
"My life with him was horrible, the Brazilians did not want him, he put me down and also fought with Rivaldo and Sonny Anderson. He always gave us the excuse that we were not training well.
"I know that he must have some trauma, he has no idea of football, does not know anything, in the time I was with him he always did the same training, his type is sick, he's crazy."
He also revealed one incident in particular that annoyed him when van Gaal instructed him to fly to Tenerife for a league game before opting not to pick him in the squad.
"He p***ed me off a lot. Look, I'm a quiet type, if I'm not slapped in the face. I took a three or four hour flight from Barcelona, for him to say he didn't need me. So I could have stayed at home with my family. Why did he bring me? I told him not to do that to me and never let it happen again."
Giovanni also noted that he would have liked the recent UEFA Champions League final defeat for van Gaal's Bayern Munich to have been far more severe.
"If it were up to me, I would have liked it if Inter won 15-0 with five goals from Lucio," he added
Doesn't make it right to make such comparisons.
I'd be careful about making such accusations. He slept with a prostitute who was underage, however tase against them was dropped after she admitted neither Benzema or Ribery knew how old she was. She's also become incredibly famous and wealthy since.

She was hardly an innocent impressionable teenager!
No one is actually comparing Van Gaal to Hitler in terms of ideology and his actions ffs.Doesn't make it right to make such comparisons.
Why? I'm not saying he's the type to slaughter millions of people. But he does have the same type of personality and attitude. He's really dislikeable.

What the actual feck.
Yep, he sounds angry when talking German, so he's basically Hitler. Heil van Gaal.
Yeah, that's what I said. Well done!

You're fighting a losing battle here my friend. Go read Mein Kampf. Go watch documentaries on the 'Last Nazis'. Go read up on his plan for making Germany the "super race". The man was a vile, detestable, horrible human being. He had no sense of understanding or empathy, only that his delusions were right.
Van Gaal is an authoritarian figure, no doubt. But to say he's Hitler like because he is a vociferous speaker is not only crude but can be offensive. I advise that you use that comparison with more caution. People don't take it too lightly here in Europe.
Just give @pocco the benefit of the doubt. He probably just had worded it wrong or doesn't really know what an animal Hitler really is and what he had done. There are many authoritarian figures that much better than Hitler that you could of compared with etc.It's just disgusting that people think comparisons to one of the most vile men in the world are cool and apt. To say he shares similar attitudes and has the same personality is ridiculously absurd.
Look at the way he deals with people and how he talks of himself. The guy is a complete nutjob. Even his ex players are saying it.

Nice try, but you're not twisting my words. I said his attitude was the same, not that he shares the same attitudes.
