Carragher: Van Dick Could Be Liverpool’s Legend

DBasia.news – The former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher predicted the future of Virgil van Dijk. According to Carragher, Van Dijk has the probability to be The Reds’ legend in the future.

Virgil van Dijk is the most expensive defender purchased by Liverpool. The Reds recruit Van Dijk from Southampton worth 78,8 million euro (Rp1,32 trillion).

Since came from Southampton on January 1, 2018, Virgil van Dick became the key player in Liverpool’s defense. The Dutch defender could fix the problem in The Reds defensive line.

It could be seen by how Virgil van Dick always guard Liverpool of goal concession in the two initial weeks of Premier League. In fact, The Reds’ defense last season was a bit complicated.

Consequently, Carragher praised Virgil van Dijk’s performance with Liverpool. Moreover, Carragher assumed the 27-year-old player as the best center back in the Premier League.

“I knew Van Dijk was a good player, but he is better than what I thought.

We’ve always said Liverpool can’t win the Premier League because of their defense, but now they have Van Dijk, who I think is the best center back in the Premier League,” Carragher told Sky Sports.

“I can’t think of a defender off the top of my head that is better. He’s the man to step into the position Vincent Kompany has had over the last four seasons. They are very similar as players.”

“Over the next three or four years, if Liverpool could win a league or a Champions League, I think Van Dijk has the potential to actually go down alongside Alan Hansen if we’re talking about Liverpool’s best ever team,” Carragher continued.
