The words of the former English defender.
A decidedly illustrious opinion when it comes to world-class defenders in football, that of John Terry, former center of the national team and Chelsea. The current Aston Villa manager has spoken, as reported by Liverpool Echofrom Virgil Van Dijk and its “strength”.
To those who asked him for a thought on the level reached by the Dutchman, even in comparison with the likes of Kompany, Terry himself and Rio Ferdinand, the coach said: “To date he is not yet the best defender. If he can be the best. Premier League? I always say that 3/4 years at the top are not enough. To be defined the best you need to have continuity. I repeat. It has been exceptional in the last 3/4 years. But to be the best, you have to be at the top for 10 /15 years”.
In short, for the Dutchman of Liverpool still a lot of work and above all many years at the most in the English league and not only to be considered truly a top.
