The colossus is back, there is strong evidence that Van Dijk is once again the best in the world

Virgil Van Dijk has been a standout player since his arrival at Anfield, as he has great aerial ability. The Dutchman was left as captain after the departure of Jordan Henderson, where so far he has had a great performance as captain. He is a very intelligent player who knows how to take advantage of his physical qualities.

The Dutchman is 6'3 feet tall, so his greatest virtue is the aerial game, where it is very difficult to win a ball, as his great height and his great technique make him the best central defender today. His greatest virtue is his aerial play, being the leader of the best defence this season with only 16 goals conceded in 19 games.

Furthermore, Van Dijk's statistics speak for his performance this season, where in addition to having already scored a goal in the Premier League, the captain of the Clockwork Orange has the highest percentage of aerial success in the Premier League where he has an 80% success rate this season.

So Van Dijk makes it clear that he is the best in the world this season and is shining as the Reds' captain, where they can now enjoy being leaders after the win against Burnley, where the defence had no difficulty in controlling the game.

Happy New Year on Merseyside

The Reds won their last game against Burnley and can close the year as leaders because although they are top today, on Thursday Arsenal, who are in second place with a game in hand on the Reds, play West Ham and if the Gunners lose or draw, the Reds will close the year as leaders a point or two ahead of Arsenal depending on the result of the game.
