A true leader can never be neglected.

Van Dijk is light years ahead of his closest competitor, without a doubt.

I don’t know when we’ll stop believing that Van Dijk is the most comprehensive defender in the world right now, and by a long shot!

This guy suffered a cruciate ligament injury five years ago and didn’t play a full season, but he returned from injury at a much higher level, and the older he gets, the stronger and better he gets!

He’s a defender who knows how to be his team’s playmaker and with a single pass, puts his teammates in ideal spaces.

At the same time, he knows how to be decisive and score the winning goal.

Imagine being the defender with the most headed goals in the world, with 25 since arriving at Liverpool!

Not only that, but he’s also saved his team from counterattacks thanks to his intelligence and lack of impulsiveness.

He manages everything wisely and calmly, all with reason!

Van Dijk delivered a brilliant performance against Atletico Madrid today. He completed 13 passes for the final third, won 7 of 8 duels, recovered the ball 8 times, and scored the winning goal!

Renewing Van Dijk’s contract at the age of 34 is

one of the greatest decisions Liverpool has made, because a true leader is irreplaceable.
