With the culmination of the twelfth day of the Premie League, it has become clear that Manchester City and Liverpool will be the two clubs most committed to trying to achieve that league title, with the citizens with Erling Haaland having those tools to be able to beat anyone on their way, with the Reds not being left behind but betting with Virgil van Dijk on a good defense that so far has been impeccable, with the Reds currently having a more favorable balance that could be shown by November 25, which is when these two institutions collide in the activity of date 13.
While the advantage that Pep Guardiola has with Haaland can be matched by the productivity of the Salah-Nunez duo, defensively Man City does not have the resources to be able to match Van Dijk, with Rubén Diaz being the man who can moderately overshadow him to a captain of the Reds who looks statistically like the best central defender in the Premier League. Although the Portuguese has been pointed out as one of City's most consistent men in recent months, his current level of play is not comparable to that of Van Dijk who never tires of winning games full of successes that show up in statistics in perfection, being very difficult to see the captain of the Reds lose any aerial ball or miss a single interception, being at the moment the only defender in the PL without having yet been successfully dribbled.
While there are countless wonders about Van Dijk, comparing him to that incredible version he had with the Reds during 2018-2019, little has been said about Ruben Días, perhaps the own goal he scored against Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago being the topic. What gave us the most to talk about this Portuguese player.
With 81% effectiveness in the category of defensive duels won by Van Dijk, this player will arrive against Manchester City with the opportunity to give a lesson on how to carry out defensive tasks in a good way while showing how it is that You can stop an Erling Haaland who seems difficult to control almost by anyone, with that pair of objectives being enough to continue humiliating the City defender who, despite being placed as a great defensive element, cannot even appear in the top of The best defenses in the PL.
