Cucurella

Louis van Gaal's strange hair pulling post-match interview from 2016 has gone viral after Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham…

The Dutchman then expands on his theory of how wrong it is to see hair pulling in the game, saying that ‘it’s not in the books’ before a brief pause. Van Gaal’s time at United was mixed. He then continues by saying hair pulling is allowed ‘only in sex masochism, then it is allowed’. Ask Van Gaal and he’d probably echo the same thoughts. The hair pulling actually came about because Fellaini was caught elbowing Huth earlier on in the game, but wasn’t punished for his actions, just as Romero wasn’t punished for the hair pulling. And in the fiery 2-2 stalemate between Chelsea and Tottenham on Sunday, Spurs’ Cristian Romero resorted to the dark arts of hair pulling against Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella.
