Former Netherlands international striker Wim Kieft has launched an astonishing rant at countryman and Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk. Kieft lebelled him "lazy" and accusing him of thinking he is "the finished footballer." Van Dijk was at fault for one of Leeds United's goals in their season opener. The central defender failing to clear the ball over Patrick Bamford, in a manner Jamie Carragher claimed was "arrogant". He told De Telegraaf: "He is not sharp, he behaves with the Oranje and Liverpool like the finished star, the great coaching leader, who shows a little too much that he does not like his fellow players. "At the same time, he plays lazy and nonchalant himself. He makes mistakes and often runs away from defensive handiwork in matches. "With his status, he should be at the forefront of the battle. It took Van Dijk a long time to get to the top international level. "He has been there for about two seasons now, but it is important that Van Dijk remains very critical of himself. His environment also plays an important role in this. It's OK if his trainers shake him up a lot."
