How One Tackle Killed Virgil Van Dijk’s Career

From being the greatest center-back in the world, and finishing second in the Ballon D’or, to getting sat down by a 34 year old Ivan Perisic. The fall from grace has been steep and fast for Virgil Van Dijk, and it all stems from one moment.

Nonsense, clickbait title. Saying "killed his career" is complete disrespect and shows a lack of football understanding.
Van Dijk is *still* elite and there is not a better CB in the world right now. Is he at his 2019 peak? No, as that was a level above anything we've ever seen (and the team as a whole was flying at that time).
However, 17 months ago he was two games away from winning a quadruple with Liverpool. He is still an immense footballer and cannot be blamed for all the shortcomings in what was a disfunctional Liverpool team (mainly last season). With the squad's midfield overhaul in the summer, we have seen him step up again as a world-class CB.
Also, "One Tackle"? Lets face it, it was an assault. An assault by a bitter rival's player who was deliberately reckless. The fact it wasn't even given as a foul shows the level of officiating in the Premier League and how England internations get away with murder.
We're lucky to be watching Virgil Van Dijk play at all now, never mind playing *so* well, while captaining a Liverpool side who are pushing at the top of the Premier League.

Erm, my god have you even watched him this season? He is back to his best. Best in the PL again.

[@stardustmonk3y]

Blatant clickbait he’s still the best CB in the world which is a testament to his intelligence and work rate

He is back ❤❤❤❤

Hes back and better

[@Ronald_349]

For sure in the top 10 of all time. Although i will rate him behind Beckenbauer, Maldini, Moore, Baresi. Probably in the same category as Cannavaro, Nesta, Scirea. He is easily in the top 2 of the best CBs of the last 15 years (with Sergio Ramos). And while Sergio Ramos has the better career (Trophy wise and Longevity/Accolades) i would say that VVD at his peak was the best defender by some margin.

Make a video about Nicholas Pepe

[@toonip22]

I'd say top 10 of all time. In his prime top 3. Great video btw

[@CommanderRexYT]

Id say prime wise he would be 4th behind Maldini, Becanbower, and Ramos
