Former player: Defense is not Van Dijk’s problem alone, he is not Liverpool’s problem

Hupu News on November 13 Recently, former Liverpool midfielder Biscayne publicly defended Van Dijk and dismissed recent criticisms against him as "unreasonable".

Biscayne said: "In my opinion, if not the best defender in the history of football, Van Dijk is definitely one of the best. Looking at what he has achieved, his style of play, and his dominance on the court, I don't think we have ever seen a defender like him."

"I can give you an example. Just a few games ago, Van Dijk scored the winning goal to help the team beat Atletico Madrid. The team performed well at that time, and he also performed as consistently as he did at that time. Everyone repeatedly praised him as one of the best defenders."

"But after just a few games, when the team performed poorly and conceded more goals, everyone began to point the finger at Van Dyke. - Not just last year, but for many years - the best defender, then you have no reason to question why he has changed. He is probably still doing the same thing as last year and in the past years. "

"So, I will not get too obsessed with detailed analysis, let alone question Van Dijk's strength, because this kind of questioning is really unreasonable. If a player does what he should do, he still maintains dominance on the court, and Van Dijk may be the most important player on the team. One (if not the only one), then he is always such a player, and I don’t think there is a big problem here.”

“When Liverpool won consecutive games, Van Dyke’s performance was as dominant as ever, still calm and reliable, and no different from his previous performance. Van Dyke made things that are not easy look easy, but we must not forget that he is not alone on the court, and defense is not his alone.”
