Vincent Kompany Praises Virgil van Dijk

DBasia.news –  Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany didn’t hesitate to call Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool defender, an opponent who can impress him.

Virgil van Dijk was transformed into the most important element in Liverpool’s backline in recent times. He proved if the Reds were not wrong to spend exorbitant funds to bring him from Southampton.

In his first season, Van Dijk had brought Liverpool to the Champions League final. Unfortunately, at the top match, Mohamed Salah and his friends were beaten by Real Madrid.

The following season, Van Dijk increasingly fused with Jurgen Klopp’s scheme of play. As a result, Liverpool managed to end the season by embracing the Champions League title. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, the Reds gave fierce resistance to Manchester City until the last week.

Inevitably, Van Dijk also received an award for UEFA’s best player. He is also predicted as a strong candidate for Ballon d’Or winner.

Van Dijk’s impressive appearance impressed Kompany. After the farewell match with Manchester City, Kompany gave sky-high praise to Van Dijk. 

“I will return to a player who was truly impressive when playing against them. I will mention the name of Virgil van Dijk,” Kompany said as reported by FourFourTwo.

“From what I see has an impact on the team, being a defender is not a matter of yourself, it is how to make a solid team. Liverpool before and after Van Dijk is a different team,” said the Belgian man.

Vincent Kompany decided to leave Manchester City at the end of the 2018-2019 season. Now, the 33-year-old man returns to his youth club, RSC Anderlecht, with the status of a player and coach.
