Virgil van Dijk He is a wonderful defender. The Dutch international is a bulwark in the rearguard of Liverpool and his authority on and off the playing field is highly valued in the ‘red’ locker room. Yesterday, the captain gave a good example of all this in a play that took place in the first half of the match against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
In a set match where Szoboszlai was in control of the ball, Lisandro Martínez came into him from behind without even touching the ball. And Van Dijk soon came out to defend the Hungarian, who was left lying on the ground for a moment after being fouled by the Argentine. “Come and do that to me, come!”, the center-back would have said to the United winger
Van Dijk showed his hierarchy by verbally confronting Lisandro, who received a yellow card for the action.
