The Way Van Dijk Defends..

Music ♫

[Sanjay-hdxm]

Virgil is so confident about his speed and strength that he waits till the last moment to avoid errors....pure class genius

[VeeSeven]

The only defender I've ever seen that can be in a 2v1 situation and still look favourite. Insane.

[hriatkima]

He got all the attributes that a perfect defender should have - fast, tall, strong, calm and composed. Even after his ACL, he is still one of the bests itw.

[abdelrahmanalkhawas]

You know youre a good defender when you can stop attackers without touching the ball. This man has perfected that art.

[someditmedia]

Van dijk make defense look so easy clean tackles no red card very smart defense and also good reading games specially high line

[zeke_]

He's probably one of the best defenders in the world right now, aside from Harry Maguire of course.

[CC-blyf]

If Van Dijk decides to tackle, that's when it's really really needed.

[hassanabdelfattah]

He literally slows down time...if you look at him vs his opponents in 1v1 situations, he seems to have much more time to think and act than his opponents. Pure class

[theredeemer]

He deals with everyone like they are small strength, agile, quick, composed and clever VVD has all these attributes

[VinceGallop]

1:07 THIS! I remember Gary Neville elaborated on that world class defending while commentating. He chose a lesser evil. When asked in the post match he explained he forced Sissoko to shoot rather than pass it to Son since he’s better shooter, believing in Alisson would be easier if he need to handle it. Similar when he 1v1 against Son, he forced hin to his weaker foot since he always study their opponents before.

[marktaylor]

He is great. He was the signing that made Liverpool a top team again.

[Ben_PN]

Quick, tall, strong, composed, good with his feet, and can jump. What a luxury piece of a defender.

[TheComputec]

I would always back VVD in any 1v1 against any current forward in European football. He is Psychologically dominant in any of these battles. You would really have to be good to out-trick him, out-muscle him or out-run him and with just a few exceptions it would be pointless to try and beat him in the air.
Liverpool keepers must be in dreamland having him right in front of them. He is relaxed when paired with Gomez, Matip, Fabhino, Nat Philips or Konate and has the quality and ability to allow his partner or his wing-backs to go on a run whenever they feel like it. It shows just how much confidence the defensive unit have in his covering ability. Oh and his long diagonal passes are pure class.
It's as simple as this, He's fuckin' AWESOME !!

[rodolfodiaz]

He’s so composed and aware of his surroundings. Reads the plays so well. Reminds me of prime Vincent Kompany

[patriksurina]

World-class 👏 The Art of Defending, Virgil van Dijk 💪👑💪

[markgrootkormelink]

This is the way to defend. Never step to the offender, the offender can easily pass you by and has an distance advantage. Walking with the offender the offender never passes tou and doesn’t know where to go

[tumultuousgamer]

Doesn’t let them cut in at all, only forces them out…at times it feels like he is letting them go there….only to catch them at the last moment…NO WAY THROUGH! CLASS Defender!

[akifshah]

This guy's marking, strength, agility, tackles, reactions, crazy... Best defender

[m.f.]

He is majestic. Calm and confident... He is basically never in the wrong place, which is all just pure instincts. Cant be tought...

[hriatpui_a]

There is no doubt, Van Dijk is the best Centre Back in the world.
