Olamilekxy:
so dribbling a defender is now something new?
thanks to van dijk

am sure if dey should post hw many time dey have dribble past Phil Jones, koschielny, smalling, pique front page won't contain it.

well said

He is still the best defender in the world but he will never be the best player in the world!!!

kendrick93:
same ramos that regularly gets humiliated by Ronaldinho,messi, eto'o and average laliga attackers?
Or vidic who got regularly turned inside out by Fernando Torres?

Vidic is a better defender. Compare them in their best season...

Adjoyvi9:


Lies and more lies. Even your goats could not dribble him

So Nicolas Pepe is better than Messi right??

VVD avoid dribbling or run back while calling on Matip and the rest for back up...

Hr was smoked yesterday because Matip was absent on the field!!!
Nobody to do active defending for him...

He is more of a mind reading defender rather than an accurate tackler... The truth is Vidic and Terry were better than him...
Take a look:

mvem:
is VVD English?... VVD is dutch so your insinuation is wrong

He plays for them.. They want the Ballon d'or to come back to the EPL..

mvem:
why are people jealous...captains and coaches voted for him, pundits and analyst tells us how good he is, they say English players are hyped by the media but VVD is not English but a Dutch guy, so why hype a non- English Man. VVD is a victim of his standard....everyone just seems annoyed at his recognition and awards as if he is the one that render praise on himself....na normal thing sha, of all events that happened yesterday everyone was so happy that VVD was dribbled yesterday....this actually shows the standard he has made. No one says he is better than Nesta or Maldini, you are judged by what is around you and Yes he is presently the World Best CB....if you hate am, that one na ur business

Players will dribble him more intentionally now....

openmine:
For the very fact that this was a big issue to the OP and still found its way to FT underlines the quality of VVD!
This is another proof that VVD is a superb defender!

Not even Rio Ferdinand in his time had such publicity when he was dribbled by opposing players!

Indeed Tuface song now makes so much sense..."If nobody talks about you,then you are nobody"

VVD can only get better!

VVD can't get better. He will only look better with Matip and Allison in the squad..

His defending style is passive...

Always asking other good players to do dirty jobs for him...


Allison's saves were even called VVD defensive effects..

They say, "he stop goals". Since when is VVD an Allison??

Real game: Salah scores
English Media hype: Wow!! VVD just lead Liverpool to victory!!

Adjoyvi9:


Here are pictures against Barcelona, 4 against two, Messi was with the ball, he dispossessed Messi by winning his tackle. Videos of his tackles are up on YouTube if you care to watch but you won't just to justify your hatred and lies..... Van dijk the goat of defending argue with your screen.

GOAT for one season..

He may never get better again because of that!!
More player will target him now... From Nicolas Pepe to this guy... I hope Matip continues to recover while VVD defensive style is being seen as nothing extraordinary..
He is still the best defender in the world right now tho.. But he will never be the best player in the world!!

PopeFlatino:
Leave them racists...Mane and Salah go run things finish,na to smuggle defender go there because he is a European..why not give Matip of Cameroon d praises been showered on VVD ,because in my opinion Matip makes more moves to stop attacks

Mane was grossly underrated by UEFA :

anochuko01:

And Sergio Ramos who resulted to dislocating somebody's shoulder and who's also a red card specialist, despite playing with top class defender is What? World Best, abi?

Yes sir..

eni4real:
Vidic is a better defender. Compare them in their best season...

nah

lolawilliams:


Can also remember what Di Maria did to puyol. lol

Hoe many treble does Di Maria have??
How many stand out performance does Di Maria has in the world cup... I still remember Puyol scoring the only goal for Spain against Germany in the world cup semi final...

Puyol is a total player.. A good defender and a great player overall!!

He never avoid dribbling too.. .

LordPsalm:
Its indeed a prove and honour to make headline just for being dribbled. That shows how much further he is from other defenders. Ramos is dribbled every week even at his peak but don't make headlines even Puyol. But VVD makes headlines even if u pass him.
THAT'S GREATNESS RIGHT THERE.
No wonder Kompany placed him as the best CB ever.
VVD still the BEAST

Nansense

kendrick93:
nah

What is na?? Check the stats that matters again:

Freemanbobble:
Na defenders dey receive disgrace pass for football
Both who sabi play ball and who nor sabi play ball na im dey dribble defender
That is why if i want play ball I nor go ever play that position

I better be top 9
Or attacking midfielder
Or dey run from right and left flank

The one when Bros Messi do this guy ehnnnn
The world never still forget and the world will never forget

Have you seen what Ronaldo did to some defenders , you'll pity them

van was dribbled once last night,so what? he had a good game otherwise so what's all these hullabo about.....
You mentioned Terry but forgot how he was regularly exposed in a high line but chelsea had to compromise their style to suit him....
Even they great maldini and nesta conceded 3 goals in 15mins in a CL final....
it seems dribbling past vvd is like Christmas,it doesn't come often

nonsense...
a simple search on YouTube and you will find ramos errors...same ramos who has been disgraced by so many teams....rubbish

huh!??

Go on and check their stats in their best season...Ramos is legend!

Very good player but he was never a solid defender....he makes many errors to be one......

nobodytestme:

Oga Ade, go sleep., you have your opinion and I’m entitled to mine ., ok!!

Your savior and your world best player is a product of English Media hype whether you like it or not .. shikena

even the Maldini nesta conceded 3 goals in 15mins in a final...who remember when Ac Milan lose 4-0 to common deportivo

Do you know that Gomes was not dribbled last night? ?

Does that make him the best defender on the field??

It is a useless stat for a defender...

The stats i showed you are the ones that matter for a world class defender!!!

Even Maldini, Baresi, Scirea, Cannavaro were dribbled but they kept the game with a strong tackling and defending skills..

Not by merely reading the game and calling on other defensive players to cover for them!!!

No defender can be the best player in the world by avoiding dribbling...

Even Beckenbauer was dribbled.. But he was a definition of a total player. He was great in defense, Midfield and attack... No wonder he was the first defender to win the Ballon d'or!!!

VVD may be the best defender right now, but he will never be the best player in the world...

calculator123:

Record he got by running from tackles bah?
Matip was his cover up.

Running from tackles, he that yesterday too .... smiles .... if he was in your team you wont say this, "Hater" the guy is just too good thats why you all wanting to see him fail. May i ask you, why did you want him to fail? Funniest they guy wasn't making mouth, you the one getting angry cus he can't be dribbled past easily. Nawa ooo

you are confused...if dribbling past isn't important then why are u posting memes mocking vvd..
Vvd has all those qualities u listed the there,you must be a blindman if you can't see it...
I don't give a damn if he's the best player in the world,messi imo is the best player in d world but that doesn't mean Vvd isn't up there... he had an insane season last time.....he's far and away the best CB in the world and deserves every accolades coming his away

I don't need to argue with you about VVD's performance esp last season!
The reason you and others are talking is due to what happened yesterday which shows your acknowledgement of his abilities!
Okay if indeed matip was that good or even better VVD,why were Liverpool leaking goals anyhow before the entrance of VVD!
Oga stop the jealousy and face your club!

kendrick93:

Thats because he(Ramos) doesn't retreat but comes head front with the attacker..I would give Matip the credits rather...more dribblers coming VVD

I'm not talking about achievements here. The person I replied was talking about how good defenders gets dribbled recklessly then I talked about that. I'm not comparing both of them.

They don't even play the same position so why will I go ahead and compare them
