On Fozcast, Ben Foster praised Virgil van Dijk to the skies when he realized the Dutch midfielder’s influence in Liverpool.
Virgil van Dijk ‘s form has been unstable since he returned from an ACL ιnjury in 2021. However, before that, the Dutch defender made a nаme for himself in Liverpool thanks to his excellent defensive ability. .
He established himself as the world’s top defender when Jurgen Klopp’s team won the Champions League and Premier League. Therefore, Ben Foster believes that form not only puts Van Dijk in the class of the best defenders of his generation but also flatters the 32-year-old player above legends such as Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Franz Beckenbauer and Sergio Ramos.
The former Watford and Wrexham goalkeeper said on Fozcast:
“I have a choice, who we will definitely rank in the top 10 best defenders. I choose Van Dijk. I think for three years in a row, he is the best central defender in the world. He had a serious ιnjury and is probably still finding his form.”
” At his peak, Van Dijk was the best defender ever. I really believe that. When Liverpool won the Champions League and Premier League, Van Dijk was number one.”
3 days ago, former player Marcel Desailly confirmed that Van Dijk is better than Arsenal’s William Saliba.
