Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk claimed his immense focus on being able to comfortably use both feet while on the ball has helped him become the world class defender he is today.
The Dutchman appears to be in a league of his own once again, after returning to Jurgen Klopp’s side at the start of the campaign. A horrendous anterior cruciate ligament injury kept him out of the Reds Premier League title defence, while also side-lining him for the entirety of Euro 2020.
But after a difficult start to the campaign, the former Southampton and Celtic defender has been back to his imperious best, providing the defensive fortifications for Liverpool’s bid to win the quadruple this season. And former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly, revealed the 30-year-old highlighted his commitment to practicing with both feet as one of the key reasons for his excellence.
