Fabinho revealed why Virgil van Dijk's defending makes him laugh

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is considered to be one of the best centre-backs. After the successful season with Liverpool, he is being viewed as one of the top contenders to win the Ballon d'Or. Van Dijk won the Champions League with Liverpool and reached the final of the Nations League with Netherlands. His Liverpool teammate, Fabinho has revealed why his defending makes him laugh. “No-one beats him in the air,” said Fabinho. “And I think he’s now gone 64 games without being dribbled past. “He’s fast. And it’s funny that it seems like he doesn’t have to make much effort to run. He does it that way, like a big guy, and he easily gets to the ball. “Balls in the air are funny. The ball comes and we just hear him shouting 'VIRG!'. And you can let it pass, whoever the attacker is. "Against Manchester (United), he impressed me. We were going to play against Romelu Lukaku. I thought ‘hey Lukaku has his size, let’s see if he will hold up’. “My God. Every air ball, it was ‘VIRG!’, he would run over. You hear ‘VIRG!’, you get out of the way, because he will come running over.” via LiverpoolECHO
