WATCH HIM DEFEND

VIRGIL VAN DIJK
❤️🔥⛰️⛰️
He´s OUR centre half and OUR number four ;) Dont wanna point out your mistake but the fact that he IS our centre half is something we should be so glad for :)
top alashkar Its sounds nicd when we sing it
Awful chant
@@craigderby4416 Awful is you fucking stupid life.
@@craigderby4416 I'm a Liverpool fan and agree dosent do him credit
Possibly THE most important signing of the last 30 years. Class act
You mean for liverpool right?
Ali Al Khamiri ye obviously he means for Liverpool
Paul Hudson idk, Ragnar was an excellent signing as well
@@jarrettthomas4865 the norse viking?
@@alialkhamiri6687 of course
Humble lad with great skills, attitude and leadership. He’s already a legend in my eyes. I hope you’ll stay with the club for a Long Long time ❤️
Im from the Netherlands and i know he loves Liverpool big big time. But if Liverpool wins the PL this year then VVD might leave. Cause then he can finally say he won CL and PL. A reason to join a new club maybe? Barca/Real? Future will tell ^^
@@nachtmuis4776 No, not all players have that mindset. I don't see Ramos, Messi, thousands of other players that have that thinking.
Liverpool had phenomenal attack for last several years, but they would'nt win any title without VanDijk
I agree mate any successful team needs a great spine and the big man is a big part of it as well as a boss keeper and a good DM at least 1 forward. and the boss thing is we have all them things now and
A lot more at times in the past 32 years of support the reds we only have parts of the spine like Steven Gerrard Jamie carragher and a couple of others but never the full package and at times it was hard being a liverpool supporter it doesn't help that I was brought up in Walton not far from goodison and all the Everton supporters the only non bitter blue I know is me mum and I would have to watch what I said to her or I wood get no Sunday roast and me dad could burn water Haha up the reds
toophat baby It was a team effort.
Van djick was at southampton at relegation zone he is not the main player in liverpool
Everybogy is important mane salah firminho wijnildum ..
yeah. His presence fix Liverpool defense problem.
toophat baby Virgil and Alisson are key 🔑 (Learn English football vocabulary on my channel. A new topic every week.)
better than the most expensive defender in the world
Ouch😁🤣👍
miles ahead
@@nomintro2141 streets ahead
@@blueboy3098 Countries ahead
The most expensive defender is just to get a good price by Leicester but van dijk's price is unpayable
may be it's the time for a defender to win it !
And he will. I don't see Messi or Ronaldo winning it. They both have 5 each and a 6th will make make one much better than him.
Up'D yh ronaldo’s on the decline now, u can see at juventus. And messi is already 32, so sadly he will start to decline soon. I just hope van dijk can win it, despite messi’s great year.
Fabio cannavaro
@@Chimera_166 but we all know messi is better than cr7
@@Adz90 but Messi isn't declining, still easily best player in the world, will be a fucking travesty if he don't win balon dor
As a Celtic man im very proud we had a part in big mans progress. He is 100% the best defender in the world. HH YNWA 👊
It's so important that we have a sell on clause when selling our best players.
Is Virgil van Dijk the best in the world?
Maldini
@@voltan1028 he no longer played
Yes he is
Absolutely!!!
Best Defender in the world!
You can tell by how fondly he looks back on the Celtic boys that he really enjoyed his time there, a fantastic and well ran club!
He was natural leader from early age n was man of the match every game I saw pace ,power, skill, finishing, calm, was true rolls Royce far better than Rio this lad can take a full team on and put belter free kicks in literally got the lot. Would love to see him win it deserves it.
@@peterrobinson9853 How come Celtic don't buy players from the Dutch league given the success of Larrson and Van Dijk?
@@SH-lt4nl coz it doesn't always work out! We signed Derk Boerrigter from Ajax! What a waste of money that was! Pretty sure Ajax are still pissing themselves laughing at that one
From his first game we knew this guy was going straight to the top but no1 believed us...
@@michaelkavanagh932 that's just bad scouting
He's already a Legend in my eyes.....
Never a doubt.
Him salah mane already legends
Exactly
Lah are you stupid, do you know the meaning of legend?
People from that country liverpool are so stupid. We need to build a wall around Liverpool borders to keep them away.
when Gini said you’re a great person my heart smiled
If Gini says that it must be a fact.... Gini's the most humle an nice guy you'll ever meet.
Pleasure that we had him at Celtic for a couple of years. Always knew he would turn this good, was unbelievable up here.
🍀🍀 Scott Brown was funny "hi Virgil it's Scott from Celtic do u remember me"
Celtic have created 2 world superstars in Larsson and Van Dijk. Eventhough Gerrard my favourite ever player is at Rangers I want Celtic to win the 10 in a row.
@@SH-lt4nl celtic have made LOADS of superstars m8. Jinky JOHNSTONE,all the other Lisbon lions, Kenny dalglish and loads more including the two stars you mentioned
@@joepaccrakurii1227 Those are the 2 most recent ones. Wanyama could have been a world star if not for injuries. I think Tierney could have been the next one but he joined the wrong club. He should have stayed at Celtic and won 10 in a row until a club like Man City or Chelsea came for him. If he was still at Celtic you can see Chelsea bring him in to replace Emerson. Instead he joined a club most well known for abusing their own managers and players on Aftv
@@SH-lt4nl you're correct there m8. I see him becoming a star anyway, hes still very young so if it doesnt happen at arsenal I can see rodgers signing him ,wherever that may be,any luck he will come back up the road to lead the charge to glory HH
I’m a spurs fan (I know, how disgraceful) and Virgil Van Dijk is the worlds best defender in my opinion and he’s so down to earth and humble. You can tell he’s a genuine person and I hope he continues to denominate the footballing world. He’s got to win the ball’O d’or.
Im an ajax fan, and I hope so too. And i hope that spurs will get back on track so we can have our revenge in the semi finals ;)
Both of you, true football supporters. Best of luck in your respective leagues 👍
Gewoon Ko 😂in your dreams will we ever be in the semi finals in the champions league if we do we will loose to who ever anyways 😂good luck with champions league this year with out de jong and de ligt. But ziech is very underrated for more years and he'll probs make a big move and become a world class player. 🏆🤷♂️
XR•MeNTalZ☆ thanks man gud luck to who ever you support and hope life goes well for you because you seem a genuine respectful person
Best comments section I ever seen thank you 🙏 guys this’s huge to see humanity and btw I’m arsenal fan but I love football ⚽️ first and beautiful games ! I don’t hate some1 who’s so good and so humble outside the pitch you can’t hate that if you are real person !
Vvd for ballon d or like here👇

Are you forgetting about messi scoring 30+ goals with 10+ assists. Vvd has done nothing this season and messi is on 8 goals in 7 games soooooo
You’ve got to be joking
Virgil Van Dijk: A Liverpool legend.
Not in the making because he already is
Ok lah, if you say so.
@@FirstName-nx6tr He is he won the champions league and was crucial to that. Without him liverpool don't win the champions league he was the most influential player in the world last season.
Colm Farrel that doesn’t make you a “legend”, he is going the right way about it tho, Been world class for us from the start
@@charliekelly2141 He is a legend he'll be talked about long after I and you are gone as he was crucial to the Champions League win.
Colm Farrel yeh that’s when you get called a legend once you are retired, I agree he will definitely be one
Don't have words to describe him. Got a little bit tears! Really a legend in making. Best defender with awesome personality and so charming. So much love BEAST❤️
#YNWA
Liverpool's best defender of all time. Never a doubt. This lad made Liverpool debut with goal against Liverpool's bitter rivals Everton #4 #ynwa
Best defender of all time? I wouldn't go that far. Liverpool have had some class CBs over the past few decades who have won multiple trophies and been a part of probably the best team/teams England has seen during the 70's and 80's so no he isn't. He's the best CB in the world right now and if he continues developing the way he is now and hopefully Liverpool win multiple trophies then you definitely could put him in that bracket.
@@JBxIx tbh I think you'd be hard pushed to find a previous top lfc centre back that thinks they had more to their game than virgil. Those centre backs were in a team that dominated due to a number of factors leading to trophies. Not saying the other center backs wernt world class tho. 👍
@@JBxIx He is without doubt better than carragher and hyppia in terms of ability. Maybe Hansen compares to him.
What of steve nicol and alan hansen???
J B individually vvd is the best cb Liverpool have ever had. Like he’s a beast of the man, and is the complete cb. There’s no weakness to his game.
Don't know why I'm teary eyed 😭. Love you virg
Liverpool is so lucky to have this guy. not just a very goof footballer,but a great human being as well. very humble with wise words. a great leader as well. i want to be his friend
Go liverpool.. For 30 years.. Pls.. Make it happen.. EPL.. Liverpool forever.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Afiq Ashraf Done claim
What a difference Virgil has brought to Liverpool’s defence. He is the best central defender in the world . Thank you Virgil for coming to the best team in Europe. We now have a World class defence with you , Matip , Robertson , Arnold and Becker who is a world class goal keeper. This is the season are 30 years of hurt we finally can win the league Title. YNWA
Virg should grow a beard, he'd look like a freaking beast plus hes already playing like a beast.
If he got a beard he well be "God's amongst us" Messi could be the GOAT for all I care. But God is better than Goat
when i was younger i had a beard for about 20 years,while everyone said things like "drop the cave man image" girls said "id date you if you shave that off" and it was golden while i have dark hair..now everyone thinks they are cool and even girls,,that blows my head,how stupid people can be over fashion ynwa
Van dijk and Liverpool are made for each other
For me, Virgil is the greatest signing of Liverpool in these decades, beyond Torres, Suarez, and Salah.
I started watching since 2007 imo this is top 10 for overall quality in a season: 1.Suarez 13-14 2. Van Dijk 18-19 3. Torres 07-08 4. Salah 17-18 5. Gerrard 08-9 6. Alonso 08-09 7. Alisson 18-19 8. Mane 18-19 9. Firmino 17-18 10. Coutinho 16-17
Shakir Hussain salah’s 17/18 season was the best out of any forward in the pl era, man done it in Europe and in the pl. Breaking the goal scoring record as a winger, he deserves more respect.
I agree with both of you, bros. All players you mentioned are top quality players for "The Red". However, the effect of signing Virgil is noticeable. He is influential to the team. I notice that he make other players comfortably play and perfrom better. Just my opinion. 😁
@@SH-lt4nl swap salah and Torres but good list . No way Torres had a better season than Salahs though not even close .
Virgil get that Ballon d'Or big man ✊✊
Messi
Aa3Dr Gam3r van dijk
@@Adz90 second
Aa3Dr Gam3r why u talking about the place messi will come this year?
@@Adz90 first messi second van third mane imo
Ive been watching the reds at Anfield since I was 4 and 30 years later hes the best defender I have ever seen in a red shirt. Outrageous talent!
And robbo
Cool Dude my comment quite clearly states 30 years so the only 2 I have seen live is Carra and Sami. Virgil is by far better than both of them, both legends, but Virg is far superior. Emlyn was primarily as centre mid as well do not sure why you compared him to Virgil 😂
16:10 Absolutely. About damn time. 💯
We’re he said it’s maybe time for a defender to win that was just amazing absolute legend humble clean hearted and the best defender in the world 🌍 💯🔴🔴🔴🔴
Didn’t he already win the ballon dor
I’m so confused did he not win it already?
Arabian Chronicle he won the uefa player of the year. Ballon d’or is in December.
Liverpool FC European Royalty ****** ohhhhh ok December 2nd is it
Delighted Glasgow Celtic played a part in VVD accomplishments and honours . It was an honour !🍀🍀🍀
We all loves you Big Man YNWA ❤️
What a signing he was he turned our defense like our attack brilliant
Virgil actually gives me goosebumps just talking love the man liverpool legend
HE,S our Center Half,
HE,S OUR NUMBER 4 ,
WATCH HIM DEFEND,
AND WE WATCH HIM SCORE,
HE CAN PASS THE BALL,
CALM AS YOU LIKE,
HE'S VIRGIL VAN Dijk
When Jürgen Klopp signed Virgil most Liverpool suporters thought Virgil´s contract was too expensive for an average player... but Klopp knows very well what he´s doing !!
Cheers from Dortmund
Klopp improves players. Lewandowski,Reus,Kagawa, Kuba, Gotze,Sahin,Gundogan,Bedner,Pizeck,Schmelzer,Subotic,Hummells, Weidenfeller together cost 31 million
Klopp, edwards, graham
The three that pursued Salah, Mane, Virgil, Robbo, Fabinho, Gini, Matip, Keita
Based on stats, although many raised eyebrows when we signed some of those players
Hope these three will stay forever in Liverpool
No we didnt . You have no idea what you're talking about .
None of us was unhappy . None of us called him average . Everybody was very happy .
*We are proud of you big Virge! 🧡🦁🇳🇱* #TeamNL
Already a Liverpool legend in my eyes, from the day he joined I knew he’d be something special 🐐.
What a player Pieter Huistra was for Rangers. Talk about a throwback to my childhood seeing him.
What a humble respectful champion. Hope he wins many more accolades and trophies. He deserves it.
He's unbelievably good. He was worth every penny. He made a huge difference to our team straight away. Calmness, reading of the game, strength, pace, determination, great range of passing, ability to score goals. He really does have it all.
Always came across as a very humble guy and just very proud that Celtic helped him along the way in becoming a player in the mould of a Maldini, Baresi, Thuram, Boyd, Koeman & Matthaeus that we grew up in awe of, and young kids in 20/30 years time will always remember VVD 🍀👍🇳🇱
I actually cry seeing this... Gosh!! Imagine not being a Liverpool fan.. #YNWA
"Imagine not being a Liverpool fan" - Hey mate
Gave him a neck cramp looking up at that screen

This video made me warm and happy from the inside. We simply love you Virgil.
As a dutchman, i am dreaming of virg to lift the world cup in 2022.
Love you infinity, Legend!
What a genuine and humble person 😍😍 I really really like him. Besides his skills and works I think its his personality that attracts me 🤗🤗
Amazing. Scott Brown is such a character!
Such a talented, handsome and humble man. We love you Virgil you legend. Thanks for being a great defender YNWA ❤
Delighted for the big man. Absolute boss on the pitch and still so humble. Honour to watch you in the famous hoops. Hope he goes on to even greater things and continues to achieve 💚🍀👏🏼🍻
Just want to thank you on behalf of every Liverpool fan for being so committed to our great club. The effort and love you show for us is second to none. Keep up the hard work big man and the rewards will follow. Thanks again 👍
I grew up watching Maldini, Nesta, Stam, and Cannavaro. My father always talked about Baresi and Gentile. I think this man is an evulution of the center back position. Cannavaro lacked the size but made it up in positioning. Virgil has it all and he is fast as hell.
One of the best interviews I have watched so humble and chilled does and says the right things so much respect for this guy ynwa
Even its just see his interview like this make me feel save and calm
Really good video from goal 👏👏
And Vvd you are the best and you deserve the ballon d'or this year
Wawo what a defender he is
Hopefully he will be ballon d'or winner
Now its time for defender
Great video. Thank you Goal❤️
Great player; great guy. 🍀🇮🇪👍
This is beautiful, very touching
I smile and at same time I'm crying.. what a feeling.. i love liverpool and virg❤
The most important player we've had since Gerrard. The best defender in the world and if he carries on the way he is, hell be the best of all time. Not only can he do it all, he does it all to the highest standard. A true anomoly of football. My hero, my mate. VVD writing his name in Liverool folklore x
VIRGIL
He is a friend and i always knew he was a amazing player and a gentleman to everyone who knows him
Love Virg unbelievable man and player thank god we got him
i just love gini and his cheeky smile
Incredibly talented and honest person Virgil Van dijk...
We are lucky to see this team rising beyond the limits nd would love to thank everyone at Liverpool family.... ✌
Hes just a class act,top professional, best to come,welldone so far virgil
watching this over and over...Missing this Man🥺🥺...we need you Virg❤️❤️ YNWA Stay strong Virgil
Virgil you r The legend of liverpool.I love u.
Our new captain ,I love to watch him play ,I love to watch him score, if I was the Liverpool boss I'll never let him go. This should be the new song for the big Virgil 😂👍
From that first touch and pass he made in a Liverpool shirt so calm and smooth ..I knew he was the one to bring back the trophies again
Amazing guy and an amazing interview.
I hope you stay at lfc till you retire big man.
Unbelievable player, unbelievable guy, humble and grounded. Absolute class.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻keep iT up like this you will be that legend . Let,s win that premier league
Oh God .. That one had me teared up just about all the way through .. Virgil is already on back of the historic success liverpool owns; one of the ever best, ever greatest personalities, with so much heart .. Hmm, these type of players pops up always at Liverpool teams, esp the best ones. Different people of course to Virgil, but equally heart, YNWA and Liverpool (Gerrard, Dalgliesh, Fowler .. They stand out. Often they are from Liverpool and honors that. You're part of a great tradition Virgil, only you are very likely the very best we've had that I remember anyway; being a fan since 1977 .. Shit, made me cry the bastard ...and the warmth in the grreetings. It was honest and real .. Good. That's Liverpool .. !!
YNWA!
he's such a down-to-earth person. He's a great defender and great man. glad to have you as liverpool player.
Vvd what a legend thank you..
One of the football player I admire a lot. Love the way he carries himself on and off the field. So humble and polite. He is real inspiration. Come on Virgil! we will definitely win EPL this year #YNWA
You have definitely been saying that for the last 30 years.
Your comment was going so well, but you just had to end it with a typical, over confident line. When will you learn?
@@Lee-ye3ev Mark my words! Will see after the season 😀

No words to describe how good VVD and how I really love him at Liverpool. Congrats Big Man!
I was tearing up. How did he not cry? Solid and professional as you like, that's Virgil Van Dijk. Well done son, keep it up. Every penny well spent. The personality is sometimes just as important as the ability. I agree as an ex-soldier and ex-footballer. To make a great team, you have to have coherence. He brings it!!!
Zo Veel respect voor jou, gewoon fantastic. From the Philippines.
Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉 🎉 and I enjoyed every minute
Love that last line👌
Congratulations virgil van dijk I am so proud about you keep going
He is an amazing player god bless him
