Wesley Sneijder: 'Guus Hiddink is more relaxed than Louis van Gaal'

Wesley Sniejder explains the differences between Louis van Gaal and Guus Hiddink as coaches of the Netherlands.

Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder has revealed that Guus Hiddink has brought a more relaxed atmosphere to the camp than they were used to under Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal left for Manchester United after guiding Oranje to a third-place finish at the World Cup, and Galatasaray star Sneijder has explained how things have changed under Hiddink.

Sneijder told De Volkskrant: "I only knew Guus Hiddink as a person. The first impression is as I expected - things are more relaxed under him.

"Under Van Gaal, the atmosphere at the World Cup was perfect, though. Now, if there is laughter, it's a little bit louder.

"There is also room for relaxation but [Hiddink] is very clear and accepts no slacking."

Netherlands play the Czech Republic this evening.
