Played against some of the best strikers in 2010s (most of them in their prime) and he chose Giroud as his best opponent, no one would expected that, underrated striker
he said before Aguero was so I'm confused
It goes to show the lack of great strikers there is now
“Lamppost up front”
I believe he meant as his boogeyman, the one that always score against him. Not per se his view of a perfect striker. But I agree that Giroud is underrated.
@@daedralord1 man's literally got 49 goals for France two off Thierry henry was a key member of France winning the world cup he unleashed mbappe in that tournament. One word to describe Giroud is underrated.
Won Milan the title last year giroud is a class player arsenal was his biggest mistake.
This guy has the most impressive, natural charisma to him. Confident but incredibly chill. Also very polite. You get the feeling that you will get all the respect and decency from him, but you'd never want to mess with him, and he makes you feel that without giving you the attitude. He is the less comedian-like version of Ibra, and the less obnoxious version of Sergio Ramos.
Tell me you're a Liverpool fan without telling me you're a Liverpool fan
@@Berries2512 United but close 😂 I always appreciate a respectable rival player:)
Ibracadabra (without the magic) is not funny. He's just got his head so far up his own arse that he's coming back out of his neck again. Ramos is just a narcissist and one of the dirtiest players ever. Both would be considered psychopaths if they did regular jobs. Van Dijk stands above them in every way. He is a generational talent.
Chesterfield United?
Top team lad
@@spartacus7081 eheh. Manchester united
How can you not love big Virgil man… so much class about him
Yeh classy bloke use to fuck a Scottish pornstar , great role model 😂😂
W
He is a decent bloke, very good player but he has peaked..it comes to every player
Liverpool fans are the reason people don't like him. He's very good but people make ridiculous claims like saying he's the best CB in Prem history. It gets ridiculous with Liverpool players for some reason.
@@ant9925 mainly the media but people love to pin it on Liverpool fans
I rate this guy's honesty, seems like exactly the type of person you'd want to work with.
He is not the world’s best CB
@@domrice8628 neither are you
@@domrice8628 As Virg said all that are just individual opinions
VIrgil is not bad too.

As a Liverpool fan, I can’t help but say the overlap series is one of the best on RUclips. Gary Neville as a player I couldn’t stand him, but off the pitch he seems like a genuine, funny person. His values and what he stands for I respect. Another top ep with VVD. I love how we see a different side to him because he hardly does interviews. I’m crying VVD and Gary came together for carra slander😆Keep the content coming Gary
Thanks for letting us know what team you support
@@b6pablo I am a Liverpool fan. what do I get?
Same.
Genuine 😂😂😂
I'm a Liverpool fan, no one gives a shit who you support.
Not because I am a fellow Dutchman, but what a character. Well spoken, confident, relaxed and an absolute personality. Pure respect. Virg, you make us proud!
KDB will always pick VVD, and VVD will always pick KDB. They’ve both got massive respect for each other.
everyone picks kdb
@@niranjanrajesh1058 sure,bit the two have bromance
As a Dutch Liverpool fan I really loved this interview. Gary is a great man, we won’t forgot what he did for the real football fans against the Super League.
And now he’s sold his soul to promote Qatar
Sky are no better
There is a big hole in the middle of the Liverpool defence and its Van Dyck, terrible defender
He didn’t individually stop the Super League . Reality check here. A lot of the things he argued against are true for him taking the money to promote Qatar
@@TG-it8zt all u guys came out of the woodwork against qatar because of "human rights violations " and shit , i guess qatar is a small country and not right up ur alley after all who cares about some arabs anyway, right!! Where were u lot 4 years ago when russia of all countries were hosting ?
I was never sold on Carragher as a right back, but he was a brilliant centre back. I think people who aren't old enough to have seen him just look at the Henry clips and think that kind of thing often happened, which it didn't. He was rarely exposed, while his timing of tackles and the way he read the play was top class. He was undoubtedly good enough to be in there.
One of the best at reading the game, just never had the physical attributes which he admitted. Was a classic CB this day and age he wouldn't get past our cb's though (only cause he was brought up with a different style). Great player regardless
Caragher walks into the second cb slot the other three are always injured haha
Ive just posted same
Ye carra gets in the team
Carra was solid, I think Virg is right though Joe Gomez out of the three CBS mentioned is the weakest but Joe is a better footballer than Carra. Weird one tbh
Even our bitterest rivals can’t dislike him. Not a prick, quiet family man off the pitch, we don’t see him on the front page of papers…just a thorough leader and professional.
It’s like Kompany.
The Carragher comment has made Gary’s year! 😂
😂😂😂
Nah ronaldo made his year
Celtic fan here, you could tell as soon as he played he was destined for greatness. Comfortable on the ball, strong in the tackle and a threat from set pieces. Celtic know a player when we have them. Proud to call him one of our own
One word to describe Virgil Van Dijk : Elegance
in full flow, this man is a purring Rolls Royce of a CB. Cool as ice too.
Elegance? This is not Strictly Come Dancing. The word is 'composed'
I remember shouting at Virgil at stoke, during the end of his time at Southampton. We won and I was mocking his reported price tag. It didn't age well did it! Fantastic player.
He’s such a class lad, everything about him is so cold and calm
Apart from his takling this season ..utter dross
What a guy big Virgil is man, even as a United fan I love him. Seen him before he ended up down south playing for Celtic he always had it great too see him doing what he’s done
Best line in the entire interview: @11:16 :"I think in England everyone has to say something about everyone..." 😂😂😂 Spot on!
That's rich coming from a Dutch player. They are very outspoken.
Proved VVD’s point^😂
@@Ryan-17 brilliant 😂
@@mediacenterman8583 They are direct, not perse outsproken
True AF if the player is bad in ball they still praise him like a world class player lol... Overrated English players.Especially Roy Keane he only got 7 red card in his entire career and they are talking about him like he is Hitler imagine Sergio Ramos playing in EPL he will be Satan. Lol
Jeez Virg is a honest man. Tells you how he feels no messing.
I'm a Utd fan so was great to see him mention Stam, seems to get "forgotten" about by the experts when they talk about great PL defenders.
Spoke well on Martinez aswell, good interview, nice respectful bloke.
So easy to forget he’s Dutch his English is so good and he really understands English banter/sense of humour
I really Don't know why you are surprised English is one of the main languages over there
Impossible to forget that he is Dutch. That accent is so distinctive
Easy to forget? Lol, bit of an exaggeration
The Dutch and Scandinavians are the most alike Brits in all of Europe and all speak good English, the Dutch especially
Like most Dutch people then.
That's genuinely one of the best interviews I've ever seen
Love listening to Virgil seems a nice honest guy hope he does well in the world cup for Netherlands
VVD seems to be a very genuine person. I like his openness and honesty about mental health, Giroud, Carra etc. Kudos, from a Man United fan
I know every club fan loves their greats and rates them ahead in some cases but you can't belittle his accomplishments and his talent. Virgil is exactly what you'd want in a CB. And like Drogba a super late bloomer. Love this interview. Awesome interview and as much as it pains me to say it, Gary loves the game and all of his analysis right and wrong tends to be on time. He loves real footballers and this made all the sense in the world.
Not the best CB in the world though.
@@KM41867 I would say it's subjective and just like other sports leagues it's based solely on moments in time. You may say that today but 2 years ago no one argued the point.
Late bloomer like Xavi Hernandez who got his first Ballon d'Or nomination at age 27-28.
@@pkune5158 of course you recognize the consideration for best in the world doesn't start each August? And considering he has EVERY trophy and even a UEFA player of the year trophy in the past 5 years, I think we take a hard pass on your expertise. Thanks for playing though.
Love hearing stories like Giroud being his bogeyman. Very underrated striker.
Underrated is the 'basically' of football analysis. Giroud is one of the most decorated players of his generation and had played across top leagues for top teams. There is no way on earth that he is underrated. But unappreciated? For sure!
@@mediacenterman8583 bro he has like 40 pace on fifa lmao. Terrible player
@@consolemaster1780 if your basing a players ability on his pace rating on fifa, you are lost
@@consolemaster1780 you did not just use fifa stats hahahahahahahahahahhaha omg give ya head a wabble
Such a pleasure to watch him lead the back line for us over the past 4-5 years. Definitely one of the best ever, doesn’t matter how late he upped his level
2005 ,I was in the 7th grade. I supported Liverpool cause of my dad to be honest but in 2005. I can say my love for Liverpool came alive. Carragher played with cramp and literally would of died for this Club in extra time. He might not be urls guy but for us. "We all dream of a team of Carraghers" Ynwa
You’d win fuck all with a team of carraghers
Dream of a team of thugs that spit on kids. Okay then
Definition of real life positive vibes only!!!!
Thanks to Klopp one of the most humble person in the world
VVD is absolutely one of liverpool's best ever players without the additions of him and Alisson creating the spine of the team they never would've come close to winning what they did. World class
What an arguably the best center back in the Premier league. Van Dijk is truly a remarkable player and has been an immense force in the Liverpool squad and in his football career. This is the best Overlap interview I have heard so far.
Hes barely the best centre at his iwn club let alone the premier league
@@omarali-kx5xc alright then
@@omarali-kx5xc 😂 behave yourself troll
@@omarali-kx5xc uhhh you may want to watch some matches.
He was the best. WAS
Never forget seeing him at 22 yrs old at Parkhead. We all immediately knew the boy was something special and destined for greatness.
What a player and what a man, the criticism he’s getting now is crazy honestly. He’s our number 4, he’s our centre half and he’s the best centre half in the world by a country mile ❤
I saw him play for Celtic at Easter Road against HIibs. Absolute rolls royce, head and shoulders the best on the pitch.
watched 18/19 and 19/20 when he played 38/38 league games twice and can confirm how much GIroud gave virgil tough times, i don't even think there's any other guy in the world that won two three aerial battles against VVD per game and as he said he scored many times
Yup giroud always created problems for us and especially virgil.. Very underrated striker
Giroud is class 36 and still going strong.
@@Hoops_2004Indeed! As a Milan fan, I had LOW expectations when he arrived (after 40 year old Zlatan got injured), but he has been a hero - what an AMAZING career the man has had! Ligue 1, Europa League, Champions League, Serie A, World Cup, Puskas award, he's got 'em!
Loool same & yea Giroud was always a problem. Very underrated
He didn’t say he gave him a tough time, he said he always scored
Great interview, a well balanced young man, and it’s refreshing to hear that he enjoys playing his sport even though under a lot of outside pressures ….. top man …!
Great player and what a humble interview from Van Dijk! Fantastic from Neville!
Lucky to have the colossus at LFC. I know for a fact that once he's done with football, he'll become a good content host. Natural charisma, very funny on the LFC youtube channel when he's hosting. One I vividly remember was on top of the UCL winning bus, he was interviewing Gini and Gomez about their victory, and at the end, he does a, "Back to you guys in the studio..", had everyone in stiches! It was like a 90's throwback television line.. Love VvD!
Great interview! Appreciate Virgil opening up about his journey through recovery and taking care of his mental health.
We need a Jamie Carragher reaction video to this
I think Carragher will agree with him
Another great episode. Didn’t think I’d like VVD as a Utd fan but hard to dislike him with his quality and seems genuine from this conversation
This has made me really respect Virgil alot more. What a man
The mutual respect for De Bruyne around the world by players is crazy. Obviously the fans rave about him but that question from Gary over who else you'd love to play with I have seen asked to so many players and almost everyone says KDB
KDB is what Stevie G would've been if he joined Chelsea
Just a shame he plays for that soulless shit team
@@seamusmacgabhainn4513 lol k,if you say so,but you dont jsut change your style when you change teams. Kdb is far mire technical than gerrard,that wouldnt have changed if gerrard went to chelsea.
Bro ive had heard mikhail antonio,callum wilson and now vvd in the space of 4 days say that he is the one they would love to play with. I swear ive heard multiple liverpool players say it.
@@niranjanrajesh1058 perhaps. But Gerrard's defensive capabilities are probably better. So i call it even. Kev the red. A boyhood Liverpool fan
VVD was already the best PL defender for us at Southampton without a doubt. He was the same player at Liverpool but people noticed him more and became widely considered one of the best defenders in the world. He’s not wrong when he says he went under the radar. When he signed for Saints from Celtic he was already a top top top player. Didn’t watch him in the SPFL but I’m willing to bet he was probably the best player in their league at the time
I heard when he arrived at Celtic he starting training with coaches before he joined up with the first team. Anyway Neil Lennon asked the coaches about him & one said "Don't get to used to him, he won't be here that long. He'll be going to the Premier League."
Pound for pound the best CB the Prem has ever seen. Whilst he doesn’t yet have the longevity of Terry & Rio, he still has years at the top. Comes across very well also. Great interview!
Hell no .. he’s. It had the tip class strikers played against him .. think back on all of the forwards this league has seen .. the quality is not there ..shearer Henry drogba Rooney .. beasts ..
Giroud, Aguero, Sanchez, Ozil, Zlatan, Hazard, Kane, Lukaku, Ronaldo, Rooney, Mahrez, Son, Vardy, Aubamayeng, Sterling, Ings, Mitrovic, Toney, Rashford, Richarlison all decent players that he's come up against in the league off the top of my head. Stop the disrespect.
I agree. There’s been no shortage of class strikers in recent years. This guy has always looked a class above. Never phased good on the ball rarely beaten 1v1 and a great leader for Liverpool in recent years.
His form has dipped this season but class is class and this guy is up there and among the Premier League greats.
Stam, vidic, ferdinand, Campbell, Adams, Terry, Desailly.
@@seamusmacgabhainn4513 only Rooney gets in in at the level of the old guard. Van Dijk didn’t come up against Henry, Shearer, Bergkamp, Cole, Yorke, Aguero (prime), Owen, Fowler, Sheringham, Anelka, Van Persie, Van Nistelrooy, Torres, even a top midfielder like Lampard.
Not one striker in world football now is the level of 1992-2015 premier. Not even Haaland
Arsenal fan, but was waiting for this. Class guy
I am MU fan but so much respect to this guy
Gary, that is one of the best episodes of Overlap. Not because I’m a Livepool fan but it has lots of hearts.
No one has described De Bruyne quite the way Virgil does. Totally sincere and accurate in his praise for the Belgian.
I'd love to see an interview with Sir Alex, Wenger, Jose and Rafa Benitez. It could be separately with each of them, but I think it would be very interesting and insightful to see them all together and to learn about their different approaches and philosophies, as well as how they viewed each others teams and prepared for the games.
Gary has proved himself as a great host so far, with very thoughtful questions and, which is more important, he is a good listener. Still, it would be a big task, but in my opinion he'd be up for it.
That would be top tier. Unfortunately think Rafa and Jose genuinely do not like eachother, same with Fergie and Rafa
Shame Gary revealed that his values of campaigning for working class people only go so far until someone waves a load of cash in his face and then he shuts his mouth and becomes a part of sports washing just so he can get a pay day. Surprised it took this long for him to reveal himself a a hypocritical two-faced piece of scum.
Prachtige interview. U bent ons aanvoerder ❤. Beste verdediger ter wereld!
He's a beast, he always plays great against city which does my head in. Much respect, top dude.
He occupies “the stage” on this interview as much as he does on the field 😊 he is huge for LFC
We love you big Virgil !
Amazing interview, thanks guys
Keep these coming. Love these episodes
Watching them talk about Liverpool 2019 gives me goosebumps 😍
The best CB to ever do it. Transformed LFC from the second the pic of him infront of the christmas tree went up. Hero on Merseyside.
Not sure about best ever… Best in the world at the moment, yea. But don’t know about best ever.
Gary has been brilliant with Overlap show, certainly this is of my most enjoyable interviews 💕💕 it
Love the overlap its quality. This episode brilliant great questions from Gary and VVD comes across brilliantly.
0:40 the moment where VVD became Gary's favourite player😂
Really cool podcast again with a star player. Thank you Garry. Keep the Overlap episodes going. Smashing it
Enjoyed this one! What a guy! ❤
Re comments on Carragher. Maybe not the most technically gifted of players but in terms of raw desire and commitment you couldn't ask for more. Something LFC might be missing right now.
in fairness to van dijk what’s he supposed to say? “yeah slot him in instead of my current teammate”
@@saintseymour Not having a go at Virgil. Just saying that in his day a fit Carragher would be my choice ahead of all our other current CBs to partner Virgil.
@@BrixtonTone The same Carragher who admits he loathes and can't play the high line?
@@fromthefountofyouth the other 3 can't either we get caught every game and conceed too much from it this season
@@paulcousins6890 Ibou has hardly played!
absolutely no doubt he has put in the greatest performances and has the best individual skills and strengths of any CB ever seen in the PL. Longevity is an issue but the best I have seen, much like Suarez up front. But, he has the opportunity over the next few years as captain to cement his place. Unbelievable defender and player, perfect in 2019, best I have ever seen.
Incredible player 🙌
Such a bright guy, I can see him being a manager one day
One of GOAT of the modern game!!#LiverpoolFC #YNWA 👍❤️ Great interview!!
Knew first game he came on at Celtic he was going to be the best. Knew he’d walk into any Prem team. What a player. If you’re a fan of him, look up his solo goal vs Johnstone 🥵
@tinyloonavebaby Beating st Johnstone isn’t for everyone as well mate 🍀🍀
Loved this!!
Big Virg what a charasmatic, cool, calm and collected guy thank God he plays for Liverpool YNWA!
Such a brilliant watch this👍🏻
Well, we are all awaiting Carra's response to that one🤣🤣
As a United fan, before we signed Lisandro Martinez, a defender with attributes like Van Dijk is a dream to have in your team. Along with his charisma, he'll be the club captain on Day 2.
Staright talker- good lad 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Still a dream to have him as our center back! 💪🏽
Excellent interview with refreshingly honest answers
Carragher needs to react to this.
1 of the best CB in the world what a player he really works hard to get that title 💯💪
Thanks Neville for such a good interview with incredible Van Dijk
I got a positive feeling about Gary here, he does this well. Virgil is always himself and does not surprise here. Enjoyable podcast.
carra may not be as technically and physically gifted as virg but he was falling and diving and throwing himself out there that passion is what maybe our team lacks at this moment
I’m glad Virgil said that. Carra’s a right gobshite and would be 5th choice centre back at Liverpool 👍🏻
@@TheInfiltrator101 he was 10 times better than Gomez
LOL the team doesn't lack Passion
Quality man and player, great interview.
really enjoyed this interview , love the honesty
Once again another great episode on the overlap! 👏☝️
Giroud is underrated. People will only see it after he retires. Quality striker.
These contents are too good for RUclips
Absolutely loved every minute of this.
This is why we love Gary Neville.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Geweldig interview. Virgil is klasse
I like how Virgil didn't drop out any of his teammates Matip, Gomez and Konate for Carragher, it would be very disrespectful and he handled that very good. I watch Liverpool and I am big fan since 2001 and Jamie Carragher did some good games especially in UCL, but his best game of his life was 2005 UCL final which made him a legend for the club and well deserved, but his biggest problem was the lack of consistency.
He was consistently good when he moved to CB.
Inconsistent when at full-back.
Very smart and huble guy. Could watch them two for hours.
when he's not playing for liverpool in the future, ill be rooting for this guy. He seems really likeable.
Love Virgil and maybe has a point about Carra struggling in today’s era, but the current Liverpool side could do with some of his passion given the lackadaisical performances we’ve witnessed recently
One of the best CB in the modern game of football. A calm leader who is rallying the current Liverpool team.
Probably the only one who could be compared to the great Paolo Maldini.
Nesta
.. Paolo *
Not even close to Maldini
Not even on Stam's level
@@gts8919 way better than Stam
He is calm and looks a honest guy bravo
Gorgeous man in and out
Don’t think anyone realizes how important the part he mentions with seeing a counselor. I think people need to regardless of working world. We need to let off a bit of steam now and then in order to progress in life. I love VVD for us. The best central defender we’ve had, technically and physically he is infinitely superior to everyone else I have to admit. Not a tough tackler which I wish he was, even he says he gets that shitty feeling over him which we all dread let’s admit. I see a counselor from time to time too, we’re not brick walls people. ❤
I love this show so much
I love you so much x
Thank you Gary Neville for putting out great content!!
Such a good channel.. one of the best on RUclips! 👍
Would be nice to see ronaldo on the overlap 🤣🤣🤣
He's a top bloke though whoever you support, seems so normal
