He was overpriced because of his contract. If he was in his last year of contract he would have been cheaper but ohhh what the hell he is playing for Liverpool. 😂😂😂😂
*How to be a smart centreback( proven to always work)* 1. Watch how Mustafi plays 2. Do not play like him 3. Wait for a call from PSG,Barcelona,Real,Bayern e.t.c because you are now a Legend
yeah but sadly de vrij doesnt get used that often for both the netherlands and inter. Plus if conte doesnt join us its unlikely that he will play over godin because spaletti wont use a formation with 3 at the back
Last season ill admit he has had a great season but for best cb in the premier league nahhh theres vidic, Ferdinand,stam,prime terry and more maybe he is the best last season
How to become a good center back: When you concede a goal, don’t start waving your hands up in the air appealing for offside. Mustafi we’re looking at you
How to become a smart centre back? According to this video, it's done by being good. There's nothing educational here, just clips and texts showing that a top footballer is actually rather good at what he does.
Plexirock Back then there were many good Center Backs but nowadays when a cheating thug like Sergio Ramos was considered as masterclass defender, it makes me sad, showing you how football had fallen. Knowing that intelligent defender like VVD is in modern football is kind of refreshing
rob140892 I'm not saying van Dijk isn't a good footballer (quite the contrary, really). I'm just saying that it doesn't show us how he's a good footballer or how to improve your game, as it purports to do.
also you have to mention his leadership at the back four, he really improving liverpool defense ... approx. 13 cleansheet and just conceeded 1 goal against man city, that's the evidence of his abillity.
This video was made two years ago. The question was asked then if he would be worth the money they paid for him. That has been answered since then. YES!!!!!
VERY nice analysis! It would be awesome if you did a tactical analysis of center backs. Like how they run, and positioning. You have good knowledge! Subbed and activated the bell ;)
Hi there, to the uploader, i really appreciate this video, as a defender i really need to look up on analysis on defenders and there aren't many. Luckily you've made one and i hope more is coming. Probably on varane? Bailly? John terry on why he was the best for chelsea? Or maybe a legend Puyol? This really helps me improve my style of play as know i understand how to play professionally. Thank you for this video and keep analysing.
Nugget fish and chicken totally agree I need to get better at defending but thanks to this video I've been comparing what I do to how other players would do in this situation. Personally I try and model myself on juventues' chiellini however van dijk is also an excellent player who shares these aspects of being aerially strong and composed on the ball. This video has helped me highlight the flaws in my performances as well as showing me what I need to do to improves, further videos on the topic of defending would be greatly appreciated!
Oliver Graham Cheilini? Hmm, don't get me wrong he is an out and out defender, but for this season and more seasons to come i don't recommend looking up to his skills, I'd rather you look up on current more experienced defenders like christensen, Van dijk, de ligt, or maybe Eric Bailly. These defenders are young and are prone to make mistakes, having to watch them teaches you how not to do that mistakes, however these defenders mentioned rarely makes mistakes in my opinion. Bailly has been solid from the first day he Join Man utd. Christensen has been superb when he was on a loan spell in Mochengladbach. De ligt has been in most of the top clubs wishing list, van dijk, i guess there's nothing more to say. Besides, you can also take pointers from each and every defender to study and try doing them on the picth. Hope you'll get professional. All the best. Take care.
Oliver Graham tbh yesterday i had a match and this vid totally helped me, i really had these pointers up on my head when i got the ball on my feet. It automatically switched on. Hahahah, i suddenly drive foward first rather than clearing to no one as there wasn't pressure and it helps my game and allows better start up play. So i hope the uploader reads our conversation and would think about uploading more defenders based on its analysis.
Nugget fish and chicken Lmao you can't learn anything of this video. It just shows that VVD has good ball control, is very big so obviously he also has good aerial strenght and he is good in 1v1 it doesn't show why he is so good.
More than a year down the line, VVD has not only improved Liverpool's defence greatly, he has lived up to the 75m price tag, won the premier league defender of the year as well as player of the year and whats more... helped liverpool with Champions League beating Barcelona in the greatest comeback in football history... VVD was a great investment for Liverpool!
@@fps824 no other comeback can compare with liverpool coming back from a 3-0 aggregate and beating Barca with Messi playing while missing key players such as Salah in a CL semi finals match! which other comeback comes close? name it?
This guy reminds me of Ramos, they have similar abilities and both are versatile. I'm glad he's at Liverpool now but a defence with these two leading it would be unpenetrable
I play football since childhood till now. I have played many positions, but naturally I am better as a defender. And watching how Van Dijk plays, OMG, he is a fantastic defender.
Football Intellect his ability to read the game I guess. Some people think that being a defender is easy, all about marking & tackling. A good defender must be able to read the game. Analyzing opponent’s movements with or without the ball, organizing the space, anticipating counterattacks.
Galuh Richata 100% couldn’t agree more! The decision making element of being a good defender is often overlooked but when someone like Van Dijk get its right all the time you can see how important it is by just how easy he makes it look!
Good seen. Im just swing that jeg is the best defender in the Woolf right now, so you are absolutely right in your conklution. He made Liverpool win champions league, Wc for clubteams, the supercup, and soon also the premier league. In only 2 years
@@footballintellect9362 well my composure on the ball used to much worse and now i have the ability to see open space and look for a long pass if i can
I think, this video focuses too much on Van Dijk's attacking play. And could focus more on interceptions/Vision/Positioning/Close Outs/Tackling and ogranisation of his back line, which to me is more important as a CB. I want my defensive mids to help in build up more so than my CB.
I honestly don't know how these tall people dribble so good. I am 5 foot 6 at 12 and everyone I take short crinkles they always get tangled between my legs
Sir. True but it's not since Frank Rijkaard that Holland had a centre back with such great dribbling skills as Van Dijk although De Ligt is impressive too.
kostas kostas tell me.. 18month of persude is not desperate? There are so many other top class CB, but why keep bidding for him, even after Soton lodge a report to higher court.. Im a Reds but he worth the wait.. really WORTH it..
He's a bit like Rio, tall, elegant, reads the game well, and seeing how Rio cost 30 I think VVD is overpriced by 45 million pounds. thanks to a crazy transfer market.
. . . You know Rio Ferdinand was bought for £41.40m in 2002, right? The prices has soared since then. That price for him at that time and marked was greater madness than the VVD trabsfer fee. Both are mad prices, both players are/were really good.
Lol my friend call me van dijk because of my defensive skills and breaking lines ,they usually struggle to get pass me.but my only problem is air ball because I’m short :(
it was in Scotland. they dont play football over there. someone just said to put a ball on the pitch and chase after it and people will give you money.
3 years later and its fair to say he's worth every single penny. A stellar, consistent and mentally sturdy player indeed. 👏
People think he is overrated because of his price but in fact he is excellent
He was overpriced because of his contract. If he was in his last year of contract he would have been cheaper but ohhh what the hell he is playing for Liverpool. 😂😂😂😂
Amul Tamang the best team in england continental wise, yes.
yes, they never watch how he plays
those 7m is justified. look at J.Stone or M.keane
Agree he is good CB but he is 25 years old !!
*How to be a smart centreback( proven to always work)*
1. Watch how Mustafi plays
2. Do not play like him
3. Wait for a call from PSG,Barcelona,Real,Bayern e.t.c because you are now a Legend
Milly Mahinra hahhaha
So you think these teams are better than Liverpool? Hahahaha
Nice profile pic
I am dead😂😂😂
It actually like carlos
Van Dijk, De Ligt and De Vrij, Holland can start building a strong team again with this world class defense.
Quite true bro
I would like to quote SAF:Attack wins you games but defence wins you titles
I'm looking at a bright future
yeah but sadly de vrij doesnt get used that often for both the netherlands and inter. Plus if conte doesnt join us its unlikely that he will play over godin because spaletti wont use a formation with 3 at the back
IJP tf you mean inter he’s playing for Liverpool
ahahaha
Go Reds you forget ake
Van Dijk is a world class defender and I am glad to learn from a player like him
It boost my level of confidence
Best cb in the premier league by a mile, i can't think of one cb in the pl that comes close to this guy, he is amazing
He is really good, laporte comes to mind as 2nd best though, but not even close to vvd
Last season ill admit he has had a great season but for best cb in the premier league nahhh theres vidic, Ferdinand,stam,prime terry and more maybe he is the best last season
@@locco9016 nobody talks about the past...
Mustafi
Vidic

Mustafi we’re looking at you
😂😂
He is strong fast and clever. Has got great passing ability and vocal in defence. Very good center back to have for he next 7 to 8 years
“It’s amazing for defender to have that much composure” let’s not forget he used to be a striker

Who is here after he won UCL, and Maguire became most expensive defender.

And now, he is the world's best defender 😊🤷🏾♂️
marinerphil xavi easily the best!
After I saw those passes I was like 'man let me check comments.'
VERY nice analysis! It would be awesome if you did a tactical analysis of center backs. Like how they run, and positioning. You have good knowledge! Subbed and activated the bell ;)
Its very cool to see it now in 2020 bc VVD is the best central defender rn and you can see his potential in this video which he increased at liverpool

Don't look at Billy against Brigton... He was awful.
He knows how to take on players because he started his professional Career at Groningen where he still played striker
5:56 * coutinho was.
Ik :(
Make a video of how to anticipate certain runs or movements of attackers how to prevent them from running in behind or split you.
How to play like Virgil.
Step 1. Be Virgil.

VVD The Rolls Royce of football #Machine
Video is outdated.. Harry Maguire is the worlds most expensive defender now 😂
I am sure he lived up to the price tag. He won the league, ucl and became the uefa poty
Hai i am from the future, not to spoiled but he is the uefa man's player of the year award.

Every word u said came true.
update: he did live up to the price tag
Someone please send this video to Harry Maguire.
Van DIJK is the best centre back forever.Love boss!!!
At a 6'4' tall, he is pretty quick!
Rick Snow He is a big guy, and it's not since Frank Rijkaard that Holland had such a sizable centre back with great dribbling skills.
Why wouldnt he be? the fastest man in the world is around the same height. Taller = bigger stride lenght.
For me he's superhuman....👍👍👍
One of the most interesting football chanels
answer to the question at the end: He sure did!

Es el mejor defensor en la actualidad.

Manchester United got salty and wanted to have the worlds most expensive defender and not Liverpool and went to buy Harry
He is the BEST

Alot of dutch defenders are Good at the ball. Its te new type of defenders
Sir. True but it's not since Frank Rijkaard that Holland had a centre back with such great dribbling skills as Van Dijk although De Ligt is impressive too.
New?you clearly don't see maldini playing..
He actually did mistake once, trying to kick away the ball, but he missed, and as a result, Kane scored one-on-one.
Camron Hadeed you are idiot. I am talking about his southampton times. And, i am liverpool supporter for 15 years, and i love Van Dijk, so chill.
Bro , try and be a bit polite please
Best part he won’t commit easily , which is why it’s difficult to dribble him .
I'm so salty, how have Liverpool managed to sign this beast of defender. Should be in contention for PFA.
He won it brooo
the wall of the reds 🦁🛑
Great video yet again! Please do player analysis of iniesta and xavi.
Virgil van Dijk for Balon D'or
Carsen A surely future winner 👀
if dutch could qualify in World cup he would be the next big thing!
Damn he help Liverpool improve quite a lot.. worth worth.. nice desperate buy by Kloppo..

Last year, Van Dijk was better than Messi and Ronaldo combined...
Ahh hold up stop lying
he is so damn cute ♥️
Do one for Sergio Ramos.
Virgil Wat defender 💪
He kinda remembers me of busquets while talking about control isn't it?
He has learned defending by watching videos of lord Harry Maguire and taking some private lessons from the lord master Harry!
Awesome video can you please do some winger and CAM videos plzzz
Please a do a video on a full back like alves or marcelo and analyse it
LtSam I’ve got a couple of these! Davies and Alexander Arnold are the ones to watch right now!
Like watching the great ones from yesteryear: Gullitt, Rijkaard. I thought they broke that mold?
I'm sure this video has been viewed one of the Premier League coaches!!!
Mohammed Jr haha who do you think?
The best analyse music. What is the name of this music?
He's a bit like Rio, tall, elegant, reads the game well, and seeing how Rio cost 30 I think VVD is overpriced by 45 million pounds. thanks to a crazy transfer market.

If you compare it to the average top-transfer back then, Rio was relatively more expensive.
Exactly
please do azpilicueta I think so he deserves one coz he is underappreciated by many
can you make one on azpilicueta?
mayowa adeoye he sucks LOL
Aspilicueta never sucks. The most consistent footballer in the world
Milly Mahinra go watch cricket lol
I hope for Liverpool to win the UCL like the famous win back in the day
Sam Sule yes LFC for the win. I support Arsenal but Liverpool has been sensational this season under Klopp. I also want you to win and not Real.
Yeaaaah boyyyyyyy
Yeah, i agree with the first tip but if van djik lose the ball the other team have a great change for goal,because virgil has lost his position
good video , but next time bro , no music you know why ;)
Please do one for center midfielders and box to box midfielders
I forgot the only way to be a good defender is by taking fks
Can you make an analysis on like Maldini or Nesta?
Lol my friend call me van dijk because of my defensive skills and breaking lines ,they usually struggle to get pass me.but my only problem is air ball because I’m short :(
