AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong is curious to discover how veteran coach Louis van Gaal goes about his business as the two work together for the first time this week in the World Cup qualifiers.

De Jong had a first training session under the 70-year-old Van Gaal on Monday as the Dutch squad assembled for three qualifiers in the space of seven days -- against Norway away on Wednesday, followed by home games in Group G against Montenegro on Saturday and Turkey next Tuesday.
