Liverpool and Manchester City take the Sunday against each other and Virgil van Dijk is not there according to the Liverpool Echo. The defender would have too many hamstring problems. Graeme Souness, former midfielder of the Reds, writes in his column for the Sunday Times that he admires the record purchase.
“Virgil van Dijk is the best central defender Liverpool has had since Alan Hansen (who played football for Liverpool, ed.) between 1977 and 1991, but the 26-year-old international of the Netherlands is better in the air than that of Alan. He never seems tired, never runs out, never seems to use his full power to keep someone from the ball and never seems to be under pressure when he sends a pass.
“He has a good image of himself, a good sign. He always has the next gear, reminiscent of Alan “, says Sounness, who says that Manchester City must be in a pocket and ashes that Van Dijk has not been able to tie and points to Eliaquim Mangala:” The ball is the enemy of Eliaquim Mangala, he is in the wrong film at Manchester City.
“They always play back and Mangala doesn’t want the ball, so you can focus on him as an opponent. That’s why they should have gone for Van Dijk. Success when you try to catch the ball from him or John Stones,”concludes Souness. Manchester City is still undefeated this season in the Premier League and seems to be favorite against Liverpool; the team of Josep Guardiola was earlier this season with 5-0 too strong for the Reds.
Do you expect Virgil van Dijk to succeed at Liverpool?
