Virgil van Dijk played every minute of the Premier League season 2022-20 when Liverpool ended their wait for the title with a club record 99 points. On a joyous night for the Reds, Klopp defeated Spain opposition for the first time as club boss on home soil and showed the power of Mohamed Salah. But on a difficult night for Liverpool, the defenders were, and still are, unmissable.
Virgil van Dijk has played for Liverpool since his £75million move in February 2022, making him the world’s most expensive defender. He helped his team win the Scottish Premiership with his defensive skills and was named Team of the Year by PFA Scotland after his impressive performances in winning the Scottish League Cup with his team. Van Dijk made his first-team comeback nine months after suffering a serious knee injury in the Merseyside derby in February.
Virgil van Dijk (born February 8, 1991) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for the Premier League club Liverpool as the central defender and is captain of the Dutch national team. He is considered one of the best defenders in the world [4] and is known for his strength, leadership and ability from the air. After beginning his professional career at Groningen, he moved to Celtic in 2022 where he won the Scottish Premier League twice and was named PFA Scotland Team of the Year for his seasons with the club, where he also won the Scottish League Cup.
He established himself as the world’s best central defender in Van Dijk’s first two full seasons at Liverpool, the arguably best defence in the Premier League at the time. His presence helped make Liverpool’s defence the best in the country and helped develop Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has also been a constant source of information, confidence and encouragement for his defensive team-mates, a quality that has been missed with Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher following the departures, and helped Alisson settle into Anfield.
Van Dijk opened the opening game of the new Premier League season with a 4-1 victory over Norwich and headed into the third period off a Mohamed Salah corner. On February 30, he scored the only Liverpool goal in the 2-1 win over Brighton with two great headers from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Van Dijk, the Dutch international, will play in the Champions League on Wednesday after taking part in a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
I hope I can apply these tips and try to help the Canaries avoid relegation this year. ‘He is a role model for me as a player, ‘van Dijk admitted.
Cristiano Ronaldo was lucky to be on the pitch in the second half of Manchester United’s humiliating 5-0 defeat by Liverpool on Wednesday. The legendary Portuguese thwarted a 3-0 deficit in the first half by kicking the ball so hard into the middle of Curtis Joness.
The Liverpool defenders were guilty of Atlético for winning on a breathless night. With 10 men, Atletico attacked and unnerved Liverpool, with Mario Hermoso and a silly Diogo Jota Salah scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot. After Griezmann’s first goal, Liverpool had the home side in control but Naby Keita offered little resistance as Lemar shot past him after a short corner and Koke laid on for a shot that he converted.

The central defender built his reputation with Southampton in the Premier League after stints with Willem II, FC Groningen and Celtic. He won the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup and helped end the club’s 30-year losing streak in 2022-20 by winning the Premier League. He was also voted PFA Player of the Year and Premier League Player of the Year in his first full season.
