"Michael Owen would have killed him" Michael Owen: "I unironically believe Virgil van Dijk is the greatest centre half of all time. What do you even do against him, he's bigger than everyone, faster than everyone, stronger than everyone..."
this actually hurt my head, man tried to do the funny thing, na its just dead. A man said Gabriel and Saliba stop itttt these man inspire to be big Virg.
@@eatdahl fair enough. But I will tell you there are a lot of ex pros that would never have him 1st due to the strikers that played in previous eras. The level was different
@ ok then il explain to you why vvd is 1st. Vvd plays in an era where you defend from halfway. You make one mistake against a fast counter and your going to get punished. In old eras the would be right next to there own box so balls over the top would either run out of play or go to the keeper. And because teams back then would play 4-4-2 its a defender each. Now teams play 4-3-3 so you have to watch out for 3 different attackers. Now look at vvd overall game. He hardly slides for the ball because he reads the game so well. He hardly needs to make a tackle because he reads the game and deals with it before a tackle is needed. Also look at vvds ball playing skill. 60-70 yard passes like prime alonso.
@ I do agree with the part about how he has all the attributes and reads the game better than anyone in this day and age. But not with the part about 3 attackers because in a 4-4-2 he would be directly up against 2 strikers. Much harder to deal with and way more quality. Imagine playing against Heskey and Owen, Sutton and Shearer, Duncan Ferguson. Those battles alone are a different breed of battle
@dannybingham7101 he’s definitely not a nerd and is definitely a professional footballer at the highest level but I do hear you don’t agree with him though lol
I get that you’re trying to have controversial opinions in order to grow your podcast (which is fine), but when the opinions are this ridiculous, nobody is going to take anything you say seriously. Your opinions can be controversial, but they need to be believable and backed by semi-decent points to get an actual conversation going. With debates like this, everyone is just going to say “this guy is an idiot”, rather than actually engaging
@@PSTV999 I hear you but you do know that this is a professional footballer right? His opinion is based on the level of strikers today vs back then. Trust me he believes everything that he is saying
Imagine terry, rio, vidic playing in todays era of high line. No top teams willl buy them. No pace and the reckless tackle they put, with VAR red card every game. Those defender mostly form a wall near the GK.
@sunepba Rio was the prototype of a quintessential modern defender. He was technical and good on the ball, at least more than what was typical of a premier league centre half at the time he played. He was also pretty quick at his peak. Peak Rio definitely plays for a top side in the modern game.
Van dijk would have smashed Drogba. Suarez is 10 times better than Drogba so is Halaand. And halaand is way stronger and what have they both done vs VVD? Nothinv

It ain’t even about that. Mandem can’t name 20 better defenders than can deal with those players mentioned better then Van Dijk.

this has to be one of the worst

How can you expect a Football podcast to grow when you have man that thinks Van Djik isn’t top 20 LMAO.
Rio himself put vvd as the 3rd best cb in epl history.

The man has faced mbappe, Ronaldo, Messi Suarez Neymar etc but couldn’t handle dion Dublin. Everyone shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion
@@hatchymallon1821 completely different challenge. There are no Dion Dublin types of players nowadays
The don that says he’s not top 20 is a nerd looking for attention. Dunno why man do this it’s embarrassing
