Ronaldinho is one of the latest in a long-line of admirers to share praise for Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk following the Dutchman’s headed opener against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
The former Barcelona legend commented on the 30-year-old’s Instagram account with the following, as translated by Google: “You are fantastic, play with elegance and command the defence with mastery… Congratulations.”
We’d certainly find it difficult to disagree with the ex-Brazil international, with the centre-half proving once more to be a vital part of the team – particularly during the absences of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita.
