When the stars align and you get all those wishlist attributes in the same player. Physically, tactically and mentally together he is unmatched by any defender currently playing.
The advantage of Virgil is that even tho he is huge, he has a good grasp of positional defending. You'll never see him clearing goal line as Fabinho or Matip or Gomez, but he makes sure that the opposite player is uncomfortable enough not to shoot on target. He is fast, and skillful for a defender as well. Rare to see someone with the strength of an elephant but the agility of a leopard.
I think he forced the opponent to uncomfortably used weaker foot. For example R to L and vise versa. I saw YT vid van dijk and Robertson mention about importance of knowing opponents strong foot. That's why it's important for the footballer to have decent weaker foot to be unpredictable and dangerous.
@@frogturtle not only that, he peaked when he was 27,28, that can only tell you that if the things are not going well for you in early 20s doesnt mean it wont get better.. :)
I used to play as a left-winger but now I have moved back to the central defense which was my childhood position before one of my coaches change it, I am really happy that these videos are helping me to improve my skills in the position
I’m a defender and this video really helped me get a better mentality when being in a 2v1 or a 1v1 situations and i got to know how to be more effective to stop the attackers Thanks Unisport!
@Rowan Atkinson Jr Yk, im a Chelsea fan and I still love Luiz and I feel he can bounce back to at least decent form. But I can't blame ppl (Arsenal fans) for disliking him
Without a doubt the best defender in the world. Nobody even gets close. This man has everything. Van dijk getting injured by small arms is the reason the mancs are where they are.
Step one: take out the opposition's best player with an armlock in a way that the referee doesn't see Step two: concuss the opposition's goalkeeper Always remember: when I'm doubt, flop around like a half-dead fish.
I'm mid player and I'm always blocked by the defender when ball is in front of me,so please 🙏 make a video on forward how to get ball from defenders if behind the defender because I'm always beat by the defender. And also make video on rules and fouls, as you know which are foul and which are correct tackles sometime it's right or not and how we get foul on excellent area from where we take freekick or penalty.
I am a right back , there are many things to learn from this video .The video is also very inspirational for me . As a defender I am very happy . Thank you for uploading this video☺️☺️
People call me Virgil van Dijk when I play. I also love how he plays he understands what to do in intense situations. I started doing what he does so nobody gets pass me it worked very well
1: take out the opposition's best player with an armlock in a way that the referee doesn't see. 2:concuss the opposition's goalkeeper. 3: when I'm doubt, flop around like a half-dead fish.
@Ehsan Rahravan I don't support liverpool. I just hate Ramos. I don't know what made you think I was a Liverpool fan because people around the world hate that dirty bastard.
@Ehsan Rahravan 😂😂 best defender in history 😂😂 doing it for his team? Still a bastard. Imagine if every footballer did these things for their team. That was just completely dirty play in the match against Liverpool and in a UCL final?!
4:36 I have 2 suggestions for a video idea which I hope you show interest towards. The first one is a video on the evolution of player positions over the years, mentioning players of the past, present and upcoming stars, talking about how defining individuals in specific positions established themselves where they played, for the football world to evolve throughout the years of the beautiful game. If that is something you have done before please send me a link to watch. The second Idea following on from this video I’ve just watched. Could you do a video on how to play the ‘Libero’ role in football. As I’ve started to get back into playing football, I came across a video of Franz Beckenbauer. I’m sure you are aware of this footballing Icon, but something about the way he played just makes me want to lace up my boots and get on the pitch. If you believe there is a modern day player who plays a similar style / position to what Beckenbauer used to, I’d also appreciate the suggestions, as I feel the ‘Libero’ position has been forgotten about and it should be remembered, or better yet, revolutionised for the modern day game. Once again, if you have already done this video, please send me a link to watch. Thanks for your time and consideration, understand this is not the channels most recent video, however I enjoy watching your content, along with the rest of your viewers. Would be great to hear from yourselves, but understandable if you don’t have time. P.S. keep up the great work.
Van dijk is actually amazing. I don’t really go for Liverpool but he’s a beast. I don’t see how other defenders can’t do what he does. Like me of course I ain’t near his level. But in games I always do those two first tactics you mentioned. And in a one v one situation no one gets passed me unless they’re faster than me. I’m a small player but no tall kids or varsity kids gets passed me. I just keep my eyes on the ball. And I can body them easily since I’m small it wouldn’t be counted as a foul😂🤣😂.
@@owaiz1150 no it isn’t a foul as he managed to get the ball away from him without physically hurting him and in football this is okay as long as the challenge is not dangerous and does not injure the other player
Defensive IQ is very genetic, I am not such a good football player but because Im a great defender in basketball I understand defences in football too, I get compared to him whenever I play football and its clear that defence is an art, it doesn’t matter what sport.
Is Virgil van Dijk THE best defender around?? /Jay
Ya
Yes definitely
Mathhijs De Ligt is no less
Like if you agree
Ramos is amzing yoo both are legend⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

I'm not a defender, but I enjoyed thus as its always useful to learn when getting back to help your team 👍
And you learn how opposing defenders think,too.
Factzz
Always play as a defense midfield and it's really important to be back with your team ❤and support your defenders
@STRIKER SAHIL 17 ❤❤
True!
He is So clever and His timing is really impressing,I’m a Striker But I like to help my team into the Defensive Aspect
same w me being a winger
He's literally the perfect cb. Strong,fast,tall
That's what I am but I'm shit at dribbling and over the top passes
@@joshhart4801 looks like you got something to Improve on...no one is perfect
@@joshhart4801 I’m strong and tall, but not very fast
When the stars align and you get all those wishlist attributes in the same player. Physically, tactically and mentally together he is unmatched by any defender currently playing.
I'm kinda strong, I'm very fast, but tall is not what I am

the best thing about VVD is he always try to make sure the goalkeeper have no job

Please make one for wing backs
A defensive wing back and maybe a more offensive one too 💪💪
Yes
I hope unisport sees this
We need one video for wingbacks and on how to deliver those quality pin point crosses 🙌💪
Yeah I agree
Don't you have a coach? LMFAO
@@bluepearl_22 coaches don't coach you off the pitch....
Alonso done this perfectly for Chelsea when they won the league. Conte done such a good job to scout him from fiorentina
Key thing to learn from van dijk - patience
yes. show your hand too early and the attacker won't have to think. and if they don't have to think, they don't have to slow down.
And also his never surrender attitude
@@frogturtle not only that, he peaked when he was 27,28, that can only tell you that if the things are not going well for you in early 20s doesnt mean it wont get better.. :)
Indeed some defenders (like me) are too quick to rush into a decision and they give the attacker exactly what he wants
Exactly
I used to play as a left-winger but now I have moved back to the central defense which was my childhood position before one of my coaches change it, I am really happy that these videos are helping me to improve my skills in the position
Samee but I didn't used to play cb
It's my first time playing
I’m a defender and this video really helped me get a better mentality when being in a 2v1 or a 1v1 situations and i got to know how to be more effective to stop the attackers Thanks Unisport!

hey you forgot other players like Alisson, Robbo, Trent, etc
Ye
Thanks for the vid.... I'm a defender so I loved watching it. I would love even learning about de ligt, Pique and Ramos ❤️❤️❤️
I have a tip for you to play like Ramos, be a dirty player and elbow people as much as possible when the referee isn't looking
Without a doubt the best defender in the world. Nobody even gets close. This man has everything. Van dijk getting injured by small arms is the reason the mancs are where they are.
dead ball knowledge, prime ramos and maldini r better than prime virgil
It is the video i was waiting for. I'll share this video with all my defender friends. THANKS UNISPORT.
How to played rough defending like Sergio Ramos. How to be a offensive player . Please comment cuz I would love to see them Unisports
Oh I can help you with that...
Step One: Punch the Players
Step Two: Kick them when punches don't help
Hell yeah
@@zero_66master76 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Step one: take out the opposition's best player with an armlock in a way that the referee doesn't see
Step two: concuss the opposition's goalkeeper
Always remember: when I'm doubt, flop around like a half-dead fish.
Watch Barcelona vs real Madrid or real Madrid vs athletico Madrid ( featuring Diego Costa). Or search Pepe and Ramos pairing.
I'm mid player and I'm always blocked by the defender when ball is in front of me,so please 🙏 make a video on forward how to get ball from defenders if behind the defender because I'm always beat by the defender. And also make video on rules and fouls, as you know which are foul and which are correct tackles sometime it's right or not and how we get foul on excellent area from where we take freekick or penalty.
Thing to learn from full backs like Trent Alexender Arnold or Achraf Hakimi❤️🙏
Please teach how to quick chip(1v1 over keeper)
And how to take a goal kick / long ball
Things to learn from Ngolo Kanté or David Alaba
Masterclass in defending, but finishing as well 🤩 That’s Virgil van Dijk 💪🔥❤️
Definitely his smart positioning. Add that with his pace and strength, you got the best defender in the world.
Add his long range passing accuracy. Past and present cb doesn't this qualities. He's complete Cb in the world.
Finally something for defenders! Thanks🙌
