Toure identifies weakness in Liverpool defender Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk has proven himself to be "unbelievable" in almost every aspect since joining Liverpool. However, Kolo Toure thinks forwards can cause him more problems by running at him in one-on-one situations. Netherlands international Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018 for a reported £75 million ($98m), at the time a world-record fee for a defender. His signing helped transform Liverpool from top-four contenders into a team that challenges for titles. "He's an unbelievable player," Toure told Stats Perform News. "He's a top player. He's got speed, height, he can jump. He's got technique. He can switch the game with his long passes. He has got everything. I haven't seen many players challenge him one on one. In my opinion, that's his weakness! He's really tall and if you really attack him with the ball, he can struggle, but he's so clever. "He's so clever because he drops well, but if you are really aggressive in attack in a one-on-one, I think you can get something from him. He's a really clever player. He's got [Joe] Gomez on his side, good players on his side to help him as well. There are good players around him and I think that makes his game easy, but I think he's got so many qualities."
