Virgil van Dijk is so good at soccer he makes it look simple and for a participant so spectacular, his lack of seemingly by no means needing to run or deal with is all the time a pleasure to observe.
There’s already been numerous instances over time the place the sheer presence of our No.4 was sufficient for opposition attackers to cease of their tracks, earlier than turning and working the opposite manner.
This was as soon as once more the case in opposition to Nottingham Forest as Anthony Elanga seemingly had area to indicate off his tempo and drive at our captain.
As a substitute, the straightforward aura of the Dutchman slowed him down a lot that it seemed easy as he strolled over and poked the ball away from the attacker’s management.

Our skipper spoke after the sport about how impressed he was with Diogo Jota for his ‘drive and starvation’ and it’s sure that he units these requirements along with his performances.
A real chief on and off the pitch, even the way in which that the 33-year-old shared his frustration with not profitable a sport that he felt we must always have – this profitable mentality can even be shared.
Let’s hope then that our centre half can push the Reds onto victory in opposition to Brentford and assist finish a run of only one win in our previous 5 matches.
If we wish to be the most effective crew within the Premier League then we’ll want performances on and off the pitch like what we noticed from the captain of the Netherlands on the Metropolis Floor.
