  Amazing video , Commentary, editing and imagery.<br><br>I would have loved to hear more about his Dutch career as it jumped from him being not selected for 2018 world cup to him being criticised in 2022 for Netherlands<br><br>But that aside, &nbsp;the video is brilliant thank you bro 💯

  Bro Van dijk is literally everything you need from a defender, good on the ball, strong , tall , fast , intelligent, he is basically everything you need from a defender

  Van Dijk took a little bit of time to get back in form after an acl tear and ppl ran with it, he’s been back to phenomenal for the past 2 seasons now

  2019 Van Dijk was a different level of defense. Bro was a literal wall

  &quot;longevity&quot; is such an obvious excuse for them to just not acknowledge a non English player as best in the Prem.

  As a Manchester United fan, I personally have never seen such a complete package of a CB. <br>Yes, every legendary CB has physicality and aura. But this guy , man his football IQ is above all. A nimble &nbsp;giant &nbsp;with big brain. Whether it&apos;s in the air or ground, he&apos;s regal. On the ball, he&apos;s second to none. <br>Man ! I would love to see him pair up with Rio or Vidic. We&apos;d win everything every year.<br>He&apos;s hardly ever get a yellow card, let alone a red! That shows just how smart and efficient he is at defending.<br>He even make average defenders look world class when they play around him, that&apos;s just ridiculous.<br>He has it all, if you are not biased, you know he&apos;s the best CB of all time.<br>A Rolls Royce of a defender!!

  World class defender. &nbsp;Best defender in the world for a number of seasons. &nbsp;Should have won Ballon d’Or but FIFA had a different agenda other than recognising that. &nbsp;Best Liverpool CB ever.

  Him being too nonchalant wasnt a new criticism, its been said about him since he played for Groningen. On the pitch he made it look so easy it didnt look like he was putting much effort in and he sometimes underestimated situations and opponents because he genuinely just breezed through it most of the time

  Van Dijk and Allison together is what changed Liverpool&apos;s defense. I think if it was just one without the other, Liverpool definitely wouldn&apos;t be as good. I remember some crucial saves at Key moments that Alison made that definitely won us the Chams League, and Premier League. And don&apos;t forget that his last minute header. The thing I really like about Liverpool transfer is that they take their time in picking the type of players they want. They just don&apos;t go about signing anyone.
