Virgil Van Dijk's video that Manchester City fear to see

During this break that the Premier League teams will have for this last international break of the year, institutions such as Manchester City and Liverpool are getting ready for what will be their matchday 13 clash, having Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp prepared certain strategies that will try to counteract the opponent, trusting the Reds above all in the great defensive potential of their captain Virgil van Dijk to stop the offensive attacks of the citizens, which are led mostly by the Norwegian Erling Haaland.

Liverpool and manager Jürgen Klopp know that one of their strongest points for the game on 25 November will be the deployment of a Virgil van Dijk who has been solid during these months of competition, with some highlights of the Dutchman's game giving Manchester City a glimpse of what to expect on match day.

With a spectacular vision that offers comfortable runs down the flanks, interceptions that end up at the feet of his teammates, coupled with multiple anticipations of the opposition, as well as a good fluency in the opponent's box for headers, are some of the many virtues that Van Dijk has shown in his last game against Brentford, with the Dutchman having a convincing display that makes him by far the best in his position.

Perhaps the most important task for Van Dijk against City will be to try under all circumstances to reduce the amount of danger heading towards Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian attacker the ace up Guardiola will want to exploit for the full 90 minutes.

Van Dijk on important mission for the Reds  

As well as having had an incredible resurgence in such a short time, Van Dijk must assume more and more responsibilities within the group after his appointment as captain, fulfilling his role on the pitch and teaching the younger players in an excellent way, understanding in a good way this new role within the group that will take him with these results to be one of the best captains in recent years, being important for him to have the ability to lead an entire institution to the forefront of the titles they can dispute today.
