Bro kept pace with Mbappe, Son, Haaland, etc. AND got the ball of them. Shows you all you need to know. Top defender in his absolute prime. Nobody has that level of speed and defensive awareness and capability than this man in his prime. Jeez what a monster.
@@MrYoungerr It's not even his second best season at liverpool. his best overall rating at liverpool was in 2018/2019 and his best of all was at Southampton.
@@barrybarrybannan Serie A was a phenomenal league in AC Milan/Juventus era with the likes of prime Del Piero, Totti, Di Natali, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Nesta, Kaka, Maldini, Gattuso. Even Henry couldn't get enough game time because of the fierce competition back then. But the league fallen almost abruptly, almost stop producing any world-class player after this generation of Milan/Juventus era. Since then Serie A is basically irrelevant, and becomes a league that absorbs star players at the twilight of their career. So I would say VVD and Maldini is one of the best defenders of their time, although fixtures in Italy wasn't as intense as in England.
@@naturalmulundu8611 not only do I think that you're not a liverpool fan but I think you're not even a football fan and your ball knowledge comes from reels. Otherwise you wouldn't have made such a stupid comment. Do you realize that you only remember that moment from almost 5 years ago because it only happened once lol. Even perisic did a similar thing to van dijk but it doesn't matter cause it only happens once in a blue moon.
I seen Maldini, Cannavaro, Ramos and Chiellini play live and they just World Class. But still Van Dijk is still up there and he is just a rare cb with high quality defensive skills that are hard to find this days. He is World Class.
Might not have the longevity or trophies as other top CBs in history, but his PEAK performance was higher than any others and I genuinely think that’s fact
@@milosilic23I will always hate Pickford for ending the best prime I’ve seen in a cb. He could have easily went down as the best cb ever if it wasn’t for Pickford.

I remember the season he came 2nd to Messi in the ballon d'or I think no player had dribbled passed him, or it was an absurd amount of games until someone did. He was a beast and all because of Jordan Pickford with that crazy tackle he did to injure him and he lost his best years in his prime because of it.
These are the type of defensive comps I like. Reading the game, 1v1 etc. I feel like every other defending comp video are all slide tackles. These are more satisfying to me.
That's because this man's technique is on another level. I've never seen any other defender with so much technique in 1v1 situations in my lifetime. Other defenders have to go in for sliding tackles to win. This guy just doesn't.
@@Crimsonvortexmax I think you haven't because Maldini, Nesta etc were legendary defenders but their main strength was tackling. Van dijk's main strength is his technique. He doesn't need to go in for a tackle.
This version of Van Dijk is the best defender in history. No other defender that’s ever lived can reach this level. You will never see someone as good again. Absolute 🐐.
Best Centre back I've seen in my lifetime and I've seen Baresi, Stam, Terry, Cannavero, Nesta, Ferdinand etc. Why? Has everything in his game. Literally everything.

I still hear people say van dijk is overrated and was overrated (especially when he was down in form) but let’s not forget the fact that they was literally tracking who “passed van dijk one on one” because he made 0 mistakes for a whole season, was basically the revelation of liverpool when he joined they got that stability and let’s pls not forget that he was 2nd place in the ballon d’or, would that have been anybody else with the same statistics as Messi, Van Dijk would have won it but we all know it’s a popularity competition and there’s nobody more popular than Leo Messi. Absolute fucking unit, beast. Strong, pacey, balanced, swift, great long ball. Man marker, never tackles when he doesn’t have to. Pure dominance
Shows you whats really important for a center back. Not necessarily winning the ball every time, but just disrupting the flow of the attacker and being really, really physical and fast
I will never forgive what Pickford did to him. Such a shame this amazing form did not continue. He is still very good now but back then he was simply great
I love it, that non of the attackers complain for a foul or anything. They just know and feel that its proper defending and stand-up directly after getting tackled by van Dijk.
Best I've ever seen when he was at this level, absolutely unfair combination of speed, strength, and aerial dominance, to go with his intelligence and leadership qualities while also being as calm as you could ever wish a defender to be, a key factor in Liverpool being able to bypass teams press with his long passing, impossible to dribble past (wasn't it like a whole season he went through without it happening, possibly even a year?) while hardly ever making a high profile mistake. Have found it genuinely insulting to see him compared unfavourably to the likes of Vidic and Terry who had such glaring weaknesses and were so limited by comparison despite having legendary careers. He, Stam and Ferdinand are the standout defenders of the PL era for me. He's back somewhere close to this level now tbf, 97th percentile for aerial duels, hasn't been dribbled past in the league all season and is winning basically all his ground duels too. Utterly incredible player.
Melhor época defenciva da historia do futebol, ele era dominante e destruiu todos melhores atacantes daquela época, este video fala por si. Se não fosse o clientelismo ele teria ganho a bola de ouro
@@mjmjmccall1684 mate watch his highlights 2018/18 and 19/20 vs his highlights now he started to get slower last season anyone that watches him week in week out will tell you
Van Dijk is back to his best, in other words, he is back to being Prime van Dijk. He is the best CB in the league this season and arguably the best in the world again.
I’d say he’s changed his game doesn’t rely on pace as much reads the game better and is more aggressive but he’s not back to his best that’s impossible but he’s still the best itw
Van dijk best defender in the whole world even if he had faults in this Arsenal game, one thing I know is that every player does mistakes stay strong big VVD🙏🙏
Attackers would fear going 1v1 with him. He carried such an aura with him around that time. Players would end up dribbling wide to the touch line or looking for support rather than taking him on.
I think having Gomez, matip, konate as his partner helps van dyke cause all 3 are average at best defenders and liabilities without a strong general. He is the best Liverpool defender since Sami Hyypia and best premier league defender since Nemanja Vidic.
@Ilovemygirls I am brazilian you Dumbo and btw technicaly he IS ok but his reactivity on the pitch, his vision, his confidence, calm and lack of awarness in the pitch make him A LOT worse than Van Djik. Just with this sentance you are exposed actually so I don't need to put more arguments by my side. Van Djik confidence is top tier, his reactivity too, his technical abilities are good, how he read the game is excellent, he have natural leading temper, just by that he is definitely top tier World class lmfao
Best defensive prime season and 1v1 cb of all time Edit: For all the guys debating this. VVD is not the greatest defender of all time. It's just he has the greatest statistical season in 1v1 defensive moments. People are too biased to accept this. Maldini/Baresi/Beckenbauer>VVD.

Big , fast powerful... but sorry, I've never seen a guy play a another player *before* the ball than this guy. A serial fouler - how did he get away with this BS , lol.
I remember watching Southhampton vs Liverpool and I was screaming who is this guy I hate him. Then we bought him and it was all heart eyes. He's up there with Franco Baresi in my opionion.
