‘I could’: A remarkable Liverpool defender expresses confidence in his ability to play in an attacking role for Arne Slot…
An impressive Liverpool defender indicates that he has the potential to take on a forward role for Arne Slot.
Virgil van Dijk, the exceptional Liverpool defender, has expressed confidence in his ability to play as a forward under Arne Slot’s management.
Regarded as one of the premier centre-backs globally, Van Dijk has consistently demonstrated his prowess on the field.
The Liverpool captain has not only been a standout performer for an extended period but has also graced the Ballon d’Or podium and secured every major club trophy available.
Recently labeled a ‘fantastic’ centre-back, Van Dijk’s skill set suggests he could excel in various positions on the pitch.
In a discussion on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, he explored potential alternative roles within the Liverpool squad, specifically indicating that he believes he could effectively play as a striker.
When asked about his versatility, Van Dijk confidently stated that he could contribute goals if positioned up front. “Striker, yeah, I could get a couple of goals I think, yeah,” he remarked.
While it may seem unconventional for a defender to express such aspirations, Van Dijk possesses the necessary qualities to thrive as a centre-forward.
Van Dijk is widely recognized as the most formidable player in the Premier League, while Mohamed Salah has asserted that he ranks among the fastest players at Liverpool.
In addition to his physical prowess, Van Dijk possesses considerable technical skills.
During his tenure at Celtic, he frequently took free-kicks, and although he hasn’t been assigned that role at Liverpool, there have been suggestions for him to take on free-kick duties.
While it is improbable that we will see this due to his exceptional defensive capabilities, if Liverpool finds themselves needing a goal in the closing moments of a match, Arne Slot might consider deploying Van Dijk in an attacking position.
