During the last years, Virgil van Dijk has established himself as probably the best defender in the world. In fact, the Dutch playerfinished second in the voting process for the 2019 Ballon d’Or which was won by Lionel Messi . In the next FIFA World Cup in Qatar, he will be the leader for the Netherlands and one of the stars to follow.
After his arrival from Southampton in 2018, Virgil van Dijk has become a cornerstone of Jurgen Klopp’s project with Liverpool. The titles speak for themselves: 2018-2019 Champions League, 2019-2020 Premier League, 2019 UEFA Super Cup, 2019 FIFA Club World Cup and 2022 FA Community Shield among many others.
Considering his extraordinary 2018-2019 season, Virgil van Dijk won the UEFA and Premier League Player of the Year Awards and three times he’s been named to the Team of the Year in the Premier League: 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2021-2022. All these achievements were rewarded by Liverpool with a spectacular contract.
