Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been on the receiving end of an extraordinary rant from fellow Dutchman Marco van Basten, who claimed the Reds stalwart "creates chaos".
Van Dijk is widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in Premier League history for his exploits in a Liverpool shirt, but he was well below his best for the Netherlands when they made the trip to France last Friday night. The Oranje were on the end of a 4-0 hammering that saw Kylian Mbappe net a brace.
As captain for the Dutch side in what was Ronald Koeman's first game back as manager, the expectation placed on Van Dijk is high. Van Basten feels he is not meeting those expectations and fears the captain's armband weighs too heavy for the centre-back because he doesn't talk enough.
