eni4real: Italy concede just 1 goal in the World cup... That is down to great defence by Italian led by Cannavaro!!! That is the duty of a defender!!! That is the kind of record a defender should have.. . Not fake dribbling avoidance record!!! Barcelona scored 3 past Liverpool at away, it was almost 4, but Allison made a great save against Dembele... VVD was no where to be found in the instances... That is not the case for Canavaro best season. He was solid all through. .. What saved Liverpool was Origi+ Gini brace in the second Leg.. They practically won the game... Not VVD In the final, I can point many saves made by Allison against son, Eriksen and Kane... It was not all boil down to VVD.. But guess who won the MOTM (Hyped VVD again).. In the UEFA super cup, Liverpool conceded 2 goals, thanks to Mane brace who made them survive to the penalty shoot-out... VVD was keeping dribbling cleansheet when he was supposed to be keeping proper goal cleansheet as a world class defender would do(Allison absence??) ... I am not saying he is not good, he is not just a phenomenon and he will never be the best player in the world. .
As great as Canavaro was, we all know that Zizou headbutt is the reason why he won the Ballon d'or.. Mind you Cannavaro was far better than the present VVD who always call on Matip and other guys while he was busy shadow marking and avoiding dribbling..
Dembele's miss in first leg and Origi brace in the second leg saved VVD... The overhype continues. But he will never be the best player in the world... He is the best defender of 2019 tho!!!
I will take peak Terry, Calvaho, Ferdinand and Vidic ahead of him anytime... Did you see how messi humiliated canavaro , messi is a baller , very sharp and clean dribbler , he cant humiliate VVD like that, jaap stam, nesta like that . And for the world cup . Same goes to VVD , liverpool concedes the least goal last season with VVD at the heart of defense . Matip was outstanding last season also, buy since VVD join them at the back goal conceded as been lesser . Right now he is the best at the back , with very sightfull long pass. That guy is just too much . |

lilbest4: Varane is the fastest CB. You're talking about high line? Lol. Arnold and Robertson are insanely fast, young and energetic that's why he's always covered, Alison is also very good. Let VVD play in Real Madrid where all the defenders except Varane are always close to the opposition's 18 yard plus Marcelo who wouldn't track back let us see if children won't use him to rub ground Those two guys are not really defensive mr man, am a LFC fan ,strong one close to 17yrs now, VVD is a very smart defender he makes you loose the possession of the ball easily to him, he is too pacy with that body frame. |

onegig: Football has evolved in the last decade to the point that all those rugby tackles would give you multiple cards in this day and age. Football isn't about physicallity anymore but much more about skills and IQ.
Yeah there are players that make tackles and whatever but a Defence is not just a single player making stupid tackles and clearing out opponents. It is much more about positioning and weighing the risks. Having to make a tackle only means that you've been caught out of position and should be a last ditch effort.
Looking back on Salah’s second goal, you’d wonder what Luiz was thinking? To lunge for the ball like that on one of the fastest players who thrives on being able to run direct at goal. Why take such risk? Just shepherd him and stay goal side.
His positioning was bad and making useless tackles/shirt holding led to a yellow earlier, he put himself in a situation where he was likely going to need to foul instead of just slowing Salah down and hoping his teammates got back to cover.
Late in the game there was a near identical scenario with VVD and pepe—last man back against a pacy skillful attacker. VVD backed off, slowed him down, and Robertson tracked back and took the ball off pepe. You see the fine margins between what makes VVD very good. He rarely needs to make a tackle because tackling is just a last ditch effort in defending and he does make a tackle when it is extremely needed go take a look at his tackles on Son, Sissoko and a host of others last season. You really understand how VVD plays |

stefanbanach: You're a dummy. I'd love to educate you on defenders who can mark a full space but I don't think you have the brain capacity to understand I'd say.
Playing a high defensive line is a big gamble. You need a pacy, intelligent defender who can mark not only the players but can mark the passes, intercept and make blocks and interceptions.
There's a reason why when many attackers play against Van dijk, they barely touch the ball. Van dijk will be in the middle of the pitch all through the game because he has recovery speed and interception.
Which defender can play high defensive line and keep up to several clean sheets?
The last defender who did it was vidic.
There's a reason Liverpool hasn't lost forn2 years at anfield.
Look beyond dribbling. There are other defensive attributes and Van possesses all of them.
Van dijk even outpaced pepe in the match.
You'll not see a faster defender than Van dijk.
Yes o, he might not even near you... But he'll always make sure the ball doesn't come to you.
He's the best center back on the planet at the moment.
The closest to me is thiago silva of psg. Bros no vex , its like you dey play football, that guy sabi defends tactics, he no dey rush mark players, he is always calm and composed with crazy attackers, he knows when to run, slowdown , getting aggressive. That guy complete, he is even still improving |

PopeFlatino:
guy na dat thing dey vex me
VvD is good ,yes but I have seen the more impressive Matip and Allison protecting that backline most of the times more than he does expecially against Barca.
I am sure that they are promoting him to win d ballon d'or ahead of d ever impressive Mane or even Salah because they are Africans..Mane will win Matches for them ,VVD will be hyped.
As a Barca Fan without sentiment,if the Organizers of the award nominates Mane or Salah alongside Leo Messi,I will tip them to win it because of their heritage but if they bring up VVD to contest ,Leo Messi should just claim it , Messi along side not VVD, go remove am na, messi was there what did he do ,second leg |

eni4real: VVD is just the best defender now... The best defender in the world..
That does not make him the best player in the world
UCL semi final: Origi brace seal a come back English Media: VVD for Ballon d'or
UCL final: Origi and Salah win the match for Liverpool
English Media: VVD for Ballon d'or, wow he just won the UCL
UEFA Super cup: Mane score a brace,
English Media: VVD for Ballon d'or!!!, wow he just won a Super cup...
Today's match: Matip and Salah score
English Media : VVD for Ballon d'or!!!
It is an unnecessary hype by the English Media to justify their decision of selecting VVD as a worthy PFA award winner and therefore as a favorite candidate for the Ballon d'or but VVD is not the best player in the world.. He is definitely the best defender in the world for his aerial abilities, his shadow marking and dribbling avoidance is working because he has good defense partners and a great goalkeeper too.. But he will never be the best player in the world!!! 2006 wc how many goals did canavaro scored, if He is crowned the best , what will you do ?. Mr the man has done too well at his position, football aint a one man game , strikers do the scoring most times , defenders does defending, his work earned him biggest trophy in Europe last season. He deserved it and stop hating |

eni4real: Modric is the king of the World cup.. World cup golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Ronaldo in 2018!!! Now tell me how VVD is comparable to Modric!!!
VVD is not that good. He is not as good as peak John Terry, Vidic or Ferdinand was!!! Wetin you one gain from these , he came and played how many games, and was able to win ucl and was the general at the back for best defense line in epl last season, he was dribbled past few times, was booked few times, bros the guy sabi forget story, |

lilbest4: you are right. CB is a very dirty job because once a striker passes you, he's one on one with the keeper VVD keep running backwards even in international matches thereby putting his keeper at risk that was how Gnabry just ignored him and scored in their match against Germany. CB's aren't scared of getting dribbled or even getting booked they just try to make sure you don't get close to the goalkeeper. He's lucky Alison is very good VVD no sabi ba |

temmypotter: VVD is overrated!
He's a great player no doubt, but this whole hype is around the English media trying to bring the ballon dor to English Premiership and they know VVD is their best bet, Mane and Salah's records are good but still shit next to Messi and CR7
Honestly, VVD has not done enough as a CB to win the Ballon Dor, also .. am I the only one who sees that VVD doesn't challenge, he wittingly shies away from challenging a player, that's how last champions league he kept escorting Messi treading back, Like Pepe today, dude didn't challenge him directly, didn't want to spoil a record that really doesn't make sense, the best Center backs in the world are not afraid of being dribbled past, ask Sergio Ramos Mr man the guy sabi , i beg. He doesn't just jump into players anyhow, i love his kind of marking, he makes bring the ball to where he can easily win the ball, go watch his clips well, forget story the guy sabi , i beg .... stop this , he is over rated please |

Richdad50:

Sexual immorality has finally paid her her dues but is that car what was meant for her? In my opinion, I believe she was destined for the ultimate prize but like every immoral sin committed in life, a shift in blessings occurs.
Most young people today who enjoy the basics of life or suffer below where designed for greater achievements but sexual immorality has signed a part with you to hinder your reach for the Star Prize of life.
Son, when you see them flex, do not envy them. Like a man cast in chains and imprisoned, satan rewards them with peanuts so they dont have their mind on the chains and walls round about them. Because it is only when you are free that your eyes are opened to your true worth and destiny.
Richdad You are very right , same goes to oloshos when the big gid buys them liabilities worth millions they thought they have arrived not knowing their destiny is worth so much more |

Dont compete with anybody and dont allow anyone to pressirize you into going beyond that. 6) if your friends insist on taking one bottle of beer to be active in bed, pls buy 50 naira bitter cola it will do the same work or even far better without side effect. 7) above all, involve God in all Bros, anything can happen in life, just pray say make bad thing no happen to person, |
