Virgil van Dijk

[Total-Football]

Taken for granted for years now is why
No sign of the ACL ever affecting him, kinda like Pepe

After the acl tear in 2007 or 2008 versus werder Bremen etoo came back twice the player he was before. Some players are just built different mentally.

Then u have R9 and falcao who got back like ghosts of their previous selves after the acl

Braithwaite 2.0 not a myth then

I know a lot of other great defenders have won more and were likely better in their prime (say Maldini or Nesta), but when I see this guy play he literally is the perfect modern day centerback. Like some machine created in a lab. Doesn't have the leadership/goalscoring attributes of Ramos but I don't think Ramos was close to him in actual defending/tackles.

Okay, Gavi proved today even Van Dijk could be outmuscled. Gavi took out Koulibaly once. It was hilarious.

Me and people that watched the game immediately laughed when we saw that. Pushed like that by scrawny 17 year old. Embarrassing.

Love that kid. He has heart of a lion. No fear.

Gavi does have Messi like balance though. He must be much stronger on his feet than you think.

Such a force.

Might be my fav player to watch of current squad.

Still the GOAT

machine, dzeko was in his pocket that game, that man has everything a great CB needs

Absurdly overpowered Footballer.

His long passing is a delight.

In his prime(2018/19) season he was better than Ramos ever was. There I said it.

So lucky to have him at the club. 75m was a steal.

Freaking Adama Traore at full flight bounced off VVD. He'll send Gavi to the stands. 😂

Piqie is better, has won more trophies and is more experienced
