Can't wait to see Van Dijk vs CR7
If cr7 starts at lwf, matip will be the one meeting him.
vvd is clear
@ishtee cr likes to drive up and cut around the outside of the box and shoot
@@unusualgoober2794 ah yes did that so many times last season, didn't he?
Seen that in 2018 and cr7 didn't have a sniff
I haven't seen a defender so much comfortable with ball in all situations
As much as I hate the guy, Ramos is another one. And Pique.
@@waileonglum2738 yeah but not like that when VVD were nominated for the greatest player of a season with messi and ronaldo(sorry cuz I don't remember which one but U know what I mean)
@@waileonglum2738 ramos is one of the best defenders of all time and pique was great too but the original comment only mentioned composure/comfortability and i honsetly think virgil is light years ahead of both of them
@@unknown12429 sure bro, I'll lend ya some of my data to watch some of your vids👍
@@unknown12429 plus nice workout man keep striving what your doing, you'll be greater in no time cheers
VVD raises the confidence level of his teammates and strikes fear in the opponents. He peaked quite late, as he had health problems in his early 20's. Very unfair to see him miss one whole year of football because of a reckless fool.
Makes a better story if he helps the team win the treble on his returning season though innit? Thinking of that is what helped me get through the entirety of last season without breaking down lmao
@@mohamedeladl5697 Well, the treble would be the best but I would take a League title or UCL alone too
@@bilalahmedshariff5576 i'd be happy with either of them 100% but u know with the team we have we gotta believe we can win every competition we compete in
@@mohamedeladl5697 Agreed, this belief should always be there
fucking pickford
I'm currently recovering from ACL surgery so this video was particularly meaningful. Virgil is a class act.
Wish you a speedy recovery, mate!
@@thephong90 Thanks!!
get well soon!
wish u a speedy recovery mate
wish you well! do like Virgil: Step by step and YOUR championship in sight...
YNWA
He's back and is ready to tear up the league.
more like tear his own ACL . Chances are his body will be weaker after this injury and he'll be injryu prone after this.
@@adelyaakhatova8228 give him time to build up
@@adelyaakhatova8228 Pocketed Lakaka and my idol Penaldog already.
Can u see this
@@adelyaakhatova8228where are the chances at right now?
I've been going the game, home and away for 32 years and this fella is the best Centre Half I've seen at our club. My Dad always said "Hansen and Lawrenson are the best son" now I can say "Virgil is the best son".
That just gave me goosebumps. Thank you and YNWA!
It's hard to compare generations. The professionalism of the sport today is a world away from how it was it Hanson/Lawrenson era. The Trophy haul of that 70's/80's Liverpool team is staggering.
@@desmo998rr I’m not comparing mate, just telling you why I say 😂 but yeah I agree with your point
So happy to see vvd and gomez back as a chelsea fan it's truly incredible
Can you explain this to me? Because for me if your best player was injured I would be happy for him when he recovers but I would not say it is truly incredible
Thank you man
If you are reading this i am very sorry for interrupting you. I dont want to waste your valuable time but I just uploaded my first
official short trainings movie. If you are interested in fitness and sports check it out. It took me over 8 months to record and edit it. If not just continue scrolling thanks :)
As the journey of the recovery
thank you bro
This guy is a warrior🤩Virg is such an inspiration.YNWA❤
Virgil u are my favourite player in the team, i know how u felt buddy
For being the undisputed best defender in the world, he’s so humble and that’s why I love him
Hello
I don’t think this man realize how much of an impact he has on me.. Watching this video makes me really emotional. Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are my absolute idols
So happy to see him back. Best defender in the world 👊
Big Virg your so resilient!
I've just been told today that I've completely ruptured my ACL. I did it on the weekend playing soccer. Hopefully a speedy recovery, its nice to see I'm not alone
How are you now?
@@MrBrownii13 very good actually. Had surgery 8 months ago now. I am back running and training for soccer. Lost quite a bit of muscle in my quad and hamstring but slowly building it back up. Still not 100% and won't be for a while I think. But feeling so much better.
He's the best I'm so glad he's back this season we definitely missed him last season
@@hasheemmancity4498 best in the league if not in the world.
@@hasheemmancity4498 please don't tell me you think Diaz is the best
@@hasheemmancity4498 😐 lol c’mon. Man City were already a great team without Dias. VVD dragged Liverpool to new heights, and was competing with Leo Messi for a ballon D’or 2 years ago. He’s the best centreback in the world. Dias is good.
@@hasheemmancity4498 gtfo of here w that slander lmao .
@@hasheemmancity4498 you’re a city fan of course you’re going to say that cause you spend soooo much money when u can’t win a simple trophy CL for the past 5 year
He's A Legend And Legends Never Die We Will Succeed If Everyone Has The Same Mentality And I Think We Can Do It This Season - YNWA
"He’s our centre-half, he’s our number four.
Watch him defend and we watch him score.
He'll pass the ball, calm as you like.
He’s Virgil Van Dijk, he’s Virgil Van Dijk!"
YNWA ❤❤❤
His confidence level makes me motivate always👑
Best CB!
I had ACL reconstruction just 3 weeks ago and like the man says, the realisation that you've suddenly gone from very active (climber, mountaineer, cyclist, runner) to doing nothing is tough... and then finding out post-op that you still can't do much for 12 weeks until the graft is strong and ready... it's frustrating and hard to take but it's inspirational to see how our heroes share the same difficulties and how resilience gets them and us through.
Hope to do a stadium tour in October and then watch a game from the Sir Kenny stand so I can witness in person his recovery and the benefits of resilience :)
Wish you all the best with your recovery. I've had a string of injuries for over a year now that have kept me from running my usual 13K every second night. I just did my first 3K run the other day. Tiny steps, but positive mindset is definitely key.
@@scubabunny81 wow crazy to see how I'm in your exact predicament, I've had constant injury issues for the past year and a half, but I just kicked a soccer ball at full power for the first time since my first injury, and I am close to sprinting at full speed! Good luck on your road to recovery!
@@ny_4710 Nice one! Hope everything is still going well for you!
@@scubabunny81 Thanks! It has been going well, 95% of max speed! How about you?
@@ny_4710 Awesome! I'm pretty much at the same stage, in truth. Looking forward to squeezing out that last little bit over time!
Sometimes I forget how incredible VVD is. The year we won the UCL I thought he deserved the ballon'dor. But maybe that's my bias.
No into you are
No man , Klopp had put it rightly " if the ballon d'or is for greatest of all time then it should be Messi but if its is meant for the best player in the season it could be no one other than Virgil."
He was surely cheated out there.
@@vivychauhan6508 He will win it if Liverpool is successful this season. His comeback will be the perfect backstory and who doesn't like one!
@@fromthefountofyouth I want him to get a balon d'or cause after all it would be a testament to sir ferguson's statement that 'forwards can win you games, but defenders , they win you the titles."
@@vivychauhan6508 That statement is a load of bullshit, a testament won’t change the stats. Google ‘does defence win championships?’ People say it in every sport and it’s true in none of them. Offensive & defensive are equally correlated to championships. I’m not too sure if SAF actually said it either
The best number 4 in the world
the most impactful player for liverpool
I'm wait for this vid.Come on Van Dijk,u r🔥love u!
BEAST🔥
I really hurt my neck a few months ago. I've lost 10kg muscle. Went from gyming every day, running 5k every day, walking around full of humble confidence, to nothing. I never imagined I could be so sad.
This video gave me hope. I need to take control of my life again.
Thanks.
I hope you will get better goat😢
keep strong Virgil ! 💪❤💚🤍
Very nice.., that he is back after this long time, healthy, strong! His mindset is real big, mentality monster. Boomm!!
One day...i will be exactly like him...one day... I believe
Hopefully.... Good luck man
Beast ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Better then Ramos, Silva, Dias combined
Legend keep going
He’s a game changer. Turned Liverpool from a top 4 team to a genuine challenger on all fronts
He is our number 4. ✌🏾🔥❤️
watch him defend and we watch him score ,, he pass the ball calm as you like , it's VIRGIL VAN DIJK , it's VIRGIL VAN DIJK 🎶🎶🎶 best CB in the world
Vvd is the best defender of all time in terms of ability the only argument you could make against him is the trophies and the longevity but for the first few years we signed him he has been the best defender oat and I hope to see many more years of his brilliance
7 minutes video feels like 21 minutes in a good way 🔥🔥
Big Virg
damn... even his rehabilitation process can be turned into a commercial video. welcome back big guy. we miss u..
Long live liverpool
As someone who tore his MCL in his knee in the most important year of his soccer career, this is pretty inspirational. I was in a dark place when I was recovering, but I kept my head up and stuck with the team. I was elected captain the next year. We grow from the hardships.. just like Virgil did. YNWA
the new training centre looks good outside and inside woo nice place to work !
An absolute legend!
to keep a mindset like that in such a tough time for him is incredible. absolute warrior.
Best player in the world right now ☝️
Simply Inspirational, A Mentality Monster ! YNWA.
Patience, courage, dedication pays my Bro! For speedy Recovery!!
“the legend i love the man” -VVD
I love this man
the dedication and passion is unreal. what a goat. love to see that he’s back💪🏽😁
Best in the world 🤯❤️
is Bobby Firmino
Thank you for playing like you do; it brings joy to my life watching you play for Liverpool.
You Are a warrior VVD
wow this really hits home for me as I've been injured for over a year and a half, thank you!
van dijk power💪💪💪
Man Van dijk's english is so fluent and smooth 😭😭❤️ hearing him speak is so soothing
GOAT 🐐
Glad big Virgil is back fit & strong.
You might say: "so much trouble about some Sport-Rich-Guy.." - but he seems a good man, who deserves health like we all. AND think how much knowledge will come to the benefit of other injured and handicapped "normal" people from his practitioner's experiences!
YNWA, indeed!
What a beast just amazing. Great player and person
Virgil, you are an inspiration to so many of us...that strong mentality is required whenever we go through tough times in our life...Can't wait to see more of you this season and also us having another great season as a club!
His name on the team sheet is a massive boost that your fears about the defense is sorted now just attack and score ..
Thank You. For Giving Everything 🙏🏼
Inspiration like this VVD testimony is just what I need when I'm road to my 4th knee surgery, depends on me the return to the amateur football holy fields! ⚽️⚽️⚽️💪🏻
Big Man 💪❤️
An inspiration, on & off the pitch♡
glad to see him back.. what a relieve for us and the team especially the defensive line
What a Journey! 👏👏👏
Thank you VVD GOMEZ!😇 God bless you and all the team. Let's win something this year🙏🙏up the MIGHTY REDS YNWA
Day 3 post ACL surgery for me, watching this has helped mentally. Thanks for sharing Virgil 🙏🏽
How are you now? I am three weeks post
The Legend-one of a kind. I love the man.
He really is the whole package!!! Love him with us.
4 weeks post ACL surgery and I can feel for this video. It was the motivation that was needed. Class vvd as always🙏🏽
Exactly why I love this guy never ever gives up ❤️
World Class Defender 🔥💪
UA-cam needs to have a heart reaction... I needed to heart this video like 5times.
The man is a rock.
Best defender I have ever seen. And I know people throw things like that around about all the big players of the day.
But with VVD it's absolutely true. He has absolutely everything. The way he calmly deals with every situation thrown his way and 99 times out of 100 comes out on top with class and elegance is an absolute joy to watch. I've watched him deal with 2 v 1 situations on several occasions and there's not a moment where you think he's not got it under control. That is amazing. Astounding. He's the only defender who I have consistently looked forward to watching in a game more than any striker or attacker. He is the best. Makes the game look ridiculously easy.
VVD l love u man I've been crying and hoping u will come back and u have. YNWA
Classy man. So glad he’s on our side.
This made me emotional I tore both my acls recovering 3 months now I feel down and scared to play again but seeing this made me hopeful again VVD truly inspired me to make a come back and that’s why I truly admire him!!!
Liverpool❤️ You’ll Never Walk Alone!!⚽️
How's recovery going?
Amazing too have him back. Gomez and matip too. A great bond between them! 👌
Just keep going through the hardships and believe in recovery and success
The visuals 🔥🔥❣️
A complete all rounder...
He plays great football, is good at distributing Fifa games with motivational msgs, performed excellent by shaving off his hair and playing as one of Tuco's cousins in Breaking Bad. Nothing he can not do!! 😁
Love this fella , he’s the best central defender I’ve ever seen
Great video. Amazing to have the big man back!
World class No.1 defender 😎👍💯💯💯
superb mentality 👍👍
October 24th. Utd away. 8 mins in 50/50 with Ronaldo. SMASH. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
absolute beast, he gives me the confidence to be positive this season, ynwa
You are the best Van
So value-packed this
The man is an inspiration, as are the staff and players who helped him on the road to recovery 😎YNWA Virgil
Virgil the best ❤️🔥
È dura per un grande giocatore come lui,ci vuole forza mentale più che fisica,si riparte dalla forza mentale dicendo a se stesso "ce la devo fare" Virgil è un grande uomo oltre calciatore,CE LA FARÀ A TORNARE AI SUOI LIVELLI!!!FORZA E CORAGGIO!
I really love this guy❤clearly the best CB in the world👌
This is truly inspirational where most players will not be at their best level after suffer severe injuries but for Virgil he shows that it is all your mentality you need to work on. I believe he will become the best defender once again, come on you Reds
The beast is back!!!! Bloody love him. Love him
Never work alone ❤
