Virgil van Dijk has always played with arrogance. But while his nonchalance previously had us drooling, it now has us questioning whether he gives a damn.
Virgil van Dijk said in response to the swathes of cutting criticism
In the two seasons before his injury, forwards didn’t bother to attack Van Dijk. It was pointless. He was quicker, stronger and better than them. Premier League and Champions League football was child’s play to a centre-back who looked as though he had another couple of gears in reserve. They had watched the captain of their national team make mistakes which seemingly didn’t bother him, then do very little to motivate his teammates or remedy the problems they were experiencing. Van Dijk was “creating chaos” when you might expect his nonchalant style to spread and create a collective composure.
His aura has led to extreme reactions. There was gushing praise and now there’s stinging criticism. Perhaps he should be taken out of the firing line.
