Virgil van Dijk made the transition from Southampton to Liverpool in January for 84.5 million euros. At the Saints last year, the defender worked together with manager Claude Puel, who praises the Dutch national Orange. According to the Frenchman, Van Dijk is exactly what Liverpool currently needs.
He has the qualities to become the best defender in the world. It’s a good move from Liverpool to get him in,”says Puel to various English media,” It’s a fine reward that he could go to several large teams. At the beginning of the season it was difficult for him, but now he can go back to a higher level. I am happy for him and happy for ourselves, because we don’t have to play against him.
The Leicester City of Puel will take up Saturday against the new club of Van Dijk, Liverpool,”I don’t know if this is the right price, but he’s a very good defender. I have been in charge of him for six months because he was injured in the last six months. In the first half of the year he took steps and developed, he has all qualities. He is strong, fast and good in ball possession. He also has a good character.
Do you agree with Claude Puel?
