Virgil van Dijk recently moved from Southampton to Liverpool for a record 84.5 million euro, and the Orange international produced the winning hit against city companion Everton on Friday during his debut. Ruud Gullit experienced the 26-year-old stopper at the Dutch team and is impressed by the new most expensive defender of all time.
I find him a very good defender, but he has one pitfall: he is a bit nonchalant from time to time. Then he thinks he’s better than he is,”he adds a remark to Rondo van Ziggo Sport’s comment:” If he remains 100% concentrated and quietly playing those balls, then I think he’s a top defender.
Van Dijk made his debut in the Merseyside Derby and on Sunday Van Dijk can immediately return to the scene as Liverpool at home at Anfield’s front runner Manchester City. The Reds are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League and have three points more than number five Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea stands two points above the team of Jürgen Klopp.
Do you agree with Ruud Gullit?
