Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has hit back at Virgil van Dijk after he criticised his tactics.
The Liverpool defender said he wasn't a fan of van Gaal's 3-4-1-2 formation after a friendly win over Denmark on Saturday.
Speaking after the game, van Dijk said: "Do I like the system? Well, I'm still in favour of 4-3-3 but I'm not the national coach and the national coach has a very strong opinion about it."
In response to van Dijk's comments, van Gaal said he wouldn't change his tactics.
He said: "I know he has that preference, he always said this publicly.
"We already had this debate when I came here. The manager decides the tactics."
Van Gaal's Holland are set to face Germany in a friendly on Tuesday.
