He's insane. Every tackle he makes looks so easy, and that's what i like on him. He makes defending so enjoable, undoubtedly the best defender in the world rn
he rarely has to go to ground during matches because he positions himself so well when in one on one situations. he plays the ball great and once he gets to your body his strength shields the opponent off with ease. what he does isn't easy but his composure, IQ, and physicality make it seem as if it is. truly a world class defender, and in my eyes the best right now at his position.
Yep the problem with fans nowadays is they think that a good defender is one that does good slide tackling but the truth is the greatest defenders are defenders that play with there brain. VVD is a great example of that, his defending iq is insane.
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.
Taking on players like Neymar, mbappe, Xavi, even Leo. For Me, he's better or let's just say, more reliable than Ramos or Pique. For Me, he's right there in conversation with Puyol. 💪
@@Ibrahim-nf6yh VVD is dedo top 15 in GOAT Defenders NGL, for me it's 1. Beckenbauer 2. Baresi 3. Maldini 4. De Boer 5. Moore 6. Ramos 7. T, Silva 8. Cannavaro 9. Gentile 10. Zambrotta 11. Desailly. 12. Van Dijk 13. Puyol 14 Diego Godin 15 Luis Monti
Virgil in his prime is the greatest wall, absolutely. With that pace, skill, power, and also brave. I always blaming pickles for make virgil suffer like now. Hopefully virgil will get his form agaim, but im not sure.
Un defensor que sabe perfilarse para marcar y que obliga a que los delanteros se perfilan hacia el corner, dejando así que las probabilidades de que las jugadas del rival sean menos efectivas
I think Troy Deeney of Watford sums VVD up perfectly: “I've said it many times - I hate him. I hate going up against him,” Deeney said in 2018. “He's too big, too strong, too quick, too good on the ball, he loves fighting and he's got a good head of hair. “He's one of those guys who sprays on his top as well so he smells lovely.”
Van Dijk is genetically designed to be a near perfect defender but it was only when he came to Liverpool that Klopp's coaching team took all that natural ability and made it into what you see today.
He’s gonna get back to his best post World Cup I’m sure. He was insane last season as well but hasn’t looked his best till now. Hopefully gets back to his best after the World Cup
2:29 Se ele não tivesse tentado arrancar a perna do Ney teria sido o pior corte que ele tomaria, tão ruim quanto o do Perisic. Por pensamento rápido ele conseguiu derrubar o Neymar sem marcar a falta.
He is the most overpowered defender on the world !!! Pace ,physicality , Passing , Heading !!! The complete package !! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aa-_DZf2TzE.html
I like how he baits forwards to go wide in 1v1 situations by slowing down and cutting the inside lane so they can only have one option which is to burst out wide posing less danger to the goalkeeper, he did it to Sissoko at 0:06 and Mbappe at 1:33, also at 4:18, at 5:35, & also against the great CR7 at 5:00 fell for the bait, rarely do you see opponents cut inside vs this man because it seems the easiest to just go wide instead, it truly is an Art & an incredible skill
