Virgil van Dijk – The Game Changer

I have to start the article with a disclaimer - English is not my native language and I fear my vocabulary will fail me in describing just how amazing Virgil van Dijk is. It is a task even Shakespeare might have found impossible if he had to create a sonnet about Liverpool's number four. The...

We're four years into Joel Matip's Liverpool career and only now are we getting to see him finally fulfil his potential.
