[ccchhhhh]

When a pass is complete
VVD : “BOOM, ENJOY”

[TotalAced]

Just watched klopps first starting eleven at Liverpool, you cannot appreciate enough the fact of how good it feels to have a worldclass defence now...

[worldgovernment]

Those long passes are so accurate by far the best defender in the world 🌍💯🙌

[theripper]

Handsome, fast, strong, big and has everything, this guy is just great

[jordancockerall]

This mans season alone has got to be up there with the one of the best defensive performances ever seen, he is quite truly unbelievable can pass, score and defend the most complete CB I have ever seen.

[noahgoodson]

Why does Virgil speak more clearly than Harry Kane

[benmitchell]

This guy will go down as the PL's greatest ever defender

[xXKoPeRXx]

What an amazing all-rounded defender. His cross-field passes are a thing of beauty.. Best CB in the world atm!

[shibby]

Big Virg!! About to be a ballon Dor winner. Best defender the world has ever seen. Stay a red for life and finish your career as a legend at the best club on planet earth. Don't ever leave!!

VVD has to be one of the most important signing ever in LFC history. Him and Alisson. Without those two we would have nowhere near 97 points last season and we would not have won the CL.

I remember Gerrard once said that the first time he saw the way Xabi Alonso pass the ball in training, he instantly knew that Xabi is a world class. Here, the way VvD pass the ball reminds me how Xabi did it, I think Stevie would approve.

Who are those 7 who have disliked the video. He is literally giving the best tips..ay be ManU fans...they should upload a video of Lindeloff explaining how to win headers 😀😀

He has perfected the long diagonal inside to out - the other players know he’s doing it now (Trent). Sadio knew it would swerve vs Bayern too ⚽️

[anuoluwaadewale]

Like seriously it a good time to be a Liverpool fan having experienced those challenges years back.We are living our world presently and never gonna stop.ynwa

[antonioszytulskyj]

Virgil van dijk's passes have the touch of the maestro, like the van dijk artists portraits

[s.o]

The real thing people want to know is:
"How to get past/dribble past Van Dijk?" 😂

[arbaazcinephilia]

Harry maguire and wan bissaka are taking notes right now!

[aldosoto]

Virgil reminds me Steven Gerrard with his long passes jumping lines, also he has character as a leader as Stevie was on the pitch. Definitely it would be great to see him play along side Stevie and Xabi.

Ballon d'or is waiting for you my G .

[momenmoataz]

"If you lean backward, the ball will fly higher but if you lean forward it will stay low"
