Virgil van Dijk's defensive style has been described as "weird" by Marco van Basten despite the Dutchman scoring in their latest outing.
The Liverpool man is regarded as his country's best player having established himself as one of the world's leading centre-halves in recent years. At the weekend he scored the winner for the Netherlands as they saw off fellow European heavyweight Belgium in Amsterdam.
Louis van Gaal's outfit will now head into the finals of the Nations League following an impressive campaign, but Van Dijk has found himself the subject of an unusual assessment. Van Basten, who previously coached the national side, claimed the Red is the least likely to take the initiative in the backline despite his quality and standing within the group.
