What a career jump it has been for Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk. He was at Southampton in December 2016, sad and frustrated and desperate to join a new club.
He did so in Liverpool and since then he has not had to look back. He has been untouchable for the last year and a half. Specially this season, he has not been dribbled past by any player and covers the whole defence and shoulders the responsibility for club and country.
Speaking about facing Germany, he said, “At the moment they are not in the best period, but we should not forget that they have great players,” Van Dijk said in a press conference on Saturday. They are a team with high quality and individual quality, and that we shouldn’t ignore. Obviously we have a lot of quality throughout the team, fantastic players.”
“We can defend together, we can attack together and, I think in the end of the day, it’s all about results and, we have a pretty good, period where we, played well and get results and hopefully we can do that tomorrow as well.”
