Ryan Giggs says that Chelsea are way ahead of the rest and calls Louis Van Gaal a demanding manager

Ryan Giggs says Chelsea are head and shoulders above the rest

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has compared the Premier League to the Championship, saying that any team can be beaten by any other on a given day, but has admitted that Chelsea are at a notch higher than the rest at the moment.

Giggs, who retired earlier this year after playing a staggering 672 matches for the club, said that the Premier league is not won by merely winning a few games and it takes a methodical process to become champions.

“It is a process, I mean I think everyone will agree Chelsea are head and shoulders above anyone else but it’s a process and you just have to try to keep improving and see where that takes you”. The 40-year-old said.

“It’s never easy winning the league or never easy beating teams in the Premier League. We’ve seen this season it’s getting more like the Championship has been year after year. It’s a case where anyone can beat anyone so you have to be at your best every week. Hopefully we will be, we’ll keep improving, get players back on the pitch and there’s enough talent in that dressing room to take us up the league.” he added.

Van Gaal has blooded a lot of fresh legs into the squad

Calling Louis Van Gaal a demanding manager, Giggs said that the 63-year-old Dutchman wants the squad to play attacking football and that there is a lot to learn from him.

“He obviously demands a lot, he’s somebody who’s got plenty of experience, likes to play attacking football, likes to give youth a chance so there’s plenty of synergy there with the history of Manchester United and the traditions. It’s great to learn from somebody who’s managed at the top for so long and just try to learn as I go to try to prove myself as a coach”, he said.

After an unbelievable playing career at the club, the Welshman has now joined as Van Gaal’s assistant for the Red Devils and said that his new job is a lot different as compared to playing the game.

“It’s an apprenticeship, it’s starting all over again. It’s a totally different mindset from being the one being spoken to, to actually giving out the instructions, delivering training sessions and doing things throughout the week to prepare for the game.” Giggs said.

Wish the best for Moyes at Sociedad

He also wished David Moyes the best for his new assignment at Real Sociedad.

“It was a disappointing season overall but you have to look forward and learn from your mistakes, look to improve all the time. It was a tough year for everyone but I hope David does well. It’s a great chance for him and a great challenge to be coaching in a different country which probably not enough British managers do. It’s brave and I’m sure he’s excited and I hope he does well.” he said.
