Virgil van Dijk Might Be the Living Legend By the Consistent Trophy Achievement

DBasia.news – In the opinion of Liverpool legend, Gary Gillespie, Virgil van Dijk is one of the best defenders in the Premier League. However, Van Dijk needs to make it perfect by the trophy achievement.

Virgil van Dijk was signed by Liverpool from Southampton at the beginning of 2018. At that time, many people doubted his quality.

But, as time goes by, Van Dijk silenced the critics by his impressive performance. He was the vital part of Liverpool’s journey qualifying for the Champions League final round last season, and also lead the Premier League.

“I’ve been asked a lot in recent weeks: Just where does Van Dijk stand, in relation to the likes of John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Jaap Stam even, who are up there as the greatest center-backs in Premier League history,” Gillespie said cited by Mirror.

“Honestly, ability-wise and technique-wise I would put him top. He’s got absolutely everything.”

“But to become a living legend you have to be successful and win trophies and medals on regular basis… not just a one-off,” Gillespie said.

Meanwhile, recently, Van Dijk revealed his admiration to Liverpool legends like Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness. Gillespie thinks Van Dijk must follow them.

“They became legends because of their desire to win and what they achieved for this club, and I’m sure he feels the same,” Gillespie reviewed.

“The current team has strong characters who can deliver trophies – and he’s definitely one of them.”

Next, Liverpool will play against Leicester City on the 24th-week of Premier League at Anfield Stadium, Tuesday (31/1). The Reds must win to keep the gap with Manchester City.
