“Virgil is like a thoroughbred horse,
he very rarely gets injured”
“He is a world-class
player and the best I
have played with. We
benefit a lot knowing
we have players like
Virgil giving us the
protection behind us.”

Arnold
“I’ve got the pleasure of playing next to him and he is a fantastic role-model,
fantastic player, fantastic centre-half. He makes it look easy but that’s all the
hard work he has put in. He tries to improve every single day.”
Andy Robertson
“When you have Virgil
van Dijk – the giant – on
the pitch, maybe it scares
the opposition. For me,
he is special. I have great
defenders in front of me:
Joel, Joe Gomez, Dejan.
But Virgil has something
special, he is the main
man.”
Alisson Becker
