We are not here to tell you about the journey of Virgil van Dijk struggle from washing dishes to the top of glory, you certainly have read about this story before, just as I read the similarity about Mohammed Salah when he stood on the same podium a year ago, with the replacement of the Egyptian village of Negraj in Tanta Washing dishes, not only that, we think you read another similar to this and those about Cristiano Ronaldo and the outskirts of Madeira ten years ago as well.
So why are we here? The answer is simply to talk about the award for the best player in Europe, about each word in the quasi-sentence, about the words of the best player, and about the word Europe, emphasizing that it is only about his current season.
Virgil van Dijk has been named Europe's Player of the Year for the year 2019, after he surpassed the legends of this generation Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, why? For several reasons, and for these specific reasons we are here. (1)
Who is Van Dyke originally?
| By Van Dyck |
You must have read the words that he is the best defender in the world, and a little exaggerated to describe him as the most integrated performer of all, and a lot exaggerated to be classified as the best defender in history as a whole, we must disagree with the word history because we have not seen it all, But does it deny that some of these statements seem right when put in context?
On the part of Liverpool, several statements belonging to the category of exaggeration, including what was said by Jimmy Redknapp, which was classified as an exaggeration as it seems at first glance, Redknapp said that Van Dyke is a mixture of Terry, Vidic and Ferdinand, is not better than the three if placed in "Tanboura" pressure turned them into one person of course, but the man has everything that characterized the three hearts of defense, the man of course was required to explain this point in five thousand words so as not to take his words ridiculously. (2)
If you have a dip in the heart of what the man said, that's fine, can we ask a simple question about this story, a question about the weakness of defender Van Dyck? Air games for example? the speed? Physics? Coverage in one position against one? Localization? Build toys? Put all the specifications that must be met in the defender, both classic and modern, and next to it a question mark, will eventually reach one answer; nothing, there is no point must be in the center of defense does not have Virgil, and this is the focal point here.
The man is not the best at all these points, the idea is not that Vidic's power itself, but not with his own recklessness, is not at the speed of Varan but better than stages in the concentration and coverage, he is not better than everyone as much as the most comprehensive of them, and that is the only Van Dyk that we saw in All the episodes, the only, not the best, and every word here are carefully placed so as not to be accused of overestimating the man as everyone is accused.
Best player in Europe
| Messi, Ronaldo and Van Dyck (agencies) |
It is an award given to the most influential player in terms of the tournaments organized by the European Union in a season, certainly no comparison in absolute between Alison and Messi, or between Ronaldo and Van Dyke, but there is room to determine who was among those more influential with his team Donna than others, Those who did their best job, who took care of most of the most crucial details of their season, do not need everyone to be in the same position, you do not need everyone to be football players already, there may be fans or a more influential club president Of the players and the coach in the details of what is related to one or several matches Come from the season.
Last season in the Premier League and the Champions League, Van Dyck played an important role in Liverpool's winning many games, the team won by a goal difference in many games, very similar to those games where he scored the same number of goals in the previous season but lose or draw, because the team He received one or more goals because of some of the errors of the Wolverine and Matip, which Van Dijk does not fall, although both of them take turns playing alongside him throughout the season.
Liverpool were not terrifying this season, but more balanced than normal, this balance needs to be scrutinized behind the details, and in most of the shots where Jurgen Klopp needed the superhero was showing Van Dyke Donna from the rest, Salah and Manny presented a good season but not at all One day, but Van Dyke was perfect every day, these are the words of Klopp last season but behave, and it is worth mentioning that he said last season about Firmino, who also ridiculed the majority of being one of the best players of last season.

Van Dyck also made a trip to the Netherlands for the final of the UEFA Europa League, a new tournament organized by the European Union that needs to be publicized in every way to be treated as an official tournament, because although officially recognized, most fans see it as an alternative to friendly matches during international breaks. Except. Van Dyck's brilliance with the mills during that tournament could be an additional reason Messi did not have to give the UEFA the prize, which is of course why Cristiano Ronaldo is also nominated.
1️⃣ Van Dijk - 305 points |
Why defender and not Messi or Ronaldo?
Simply because it is not the top scorer award, Ronaldo can score no more than Messi and demand that the top scorer be given the title of Messi because he is more influential.Each prize has its own accounts, so there is no law requiring Messi to overtake Van Dyck because he scored more goals than the rest Social Media.
Here we need a fantasy-like system, but more professionally, a form that includes all the points that a footballer is good at. If this system is applied to the best award in the world, Europe and the Premier, this will save a lot of 'nonsense', which wastes a lot of time at all. General useless, adding the sum of the interventions and cutting balls and passes critical and key and total running and support in the combined roles and so on for this player is equal to a certain number of points, then the best, this is a criterion that can be applied considering blocking the goal is as important as scoring, which is already ready to apply Under the statistical revolution Digital analyzes.

As for Uefa, according to the current system, Virgil won the Champions League, the first and always consistent criterion in this particular prize since its inception. Only Iniesta won the Champions League in 2012, but the painter won the European Cup and was crowned Ribery pulled out the same prize from Messi and Ronaldo in 2013 for the same reason. (5)
The title of the fugitive from Messi for fear of dribbling will continue to be adjacent to Van Dyck wherever he goes, to propagate the story of all the constants of defense and football
Messi's season was certainly better than Ronaldo in terms of individual influence.Madera made his weakest season digitally since 2008.He was content with the Champions League quarter-finals.He only played in the semi-finals and the final, so the competition was logically confined between Messi and Van Dyck. In view of the full picture of the season, the coronation of each one at the expense of the other is not unjust, but small details about the collective tournaments and UEFA calculations have decided the award for the Dutch defender.

Social media fans
Speaking of Van Dyke's preference as a defender, not everyone is familiar, because each category has been characterized by descriptions that are not based on their whims. All these things will happen if you browse social media for only half an hour on the night of the announcement of the name of the best player in Europe, or whenever Virgil leads the scene.
The title of the fugitive from Messi for fear of dribbling will remain adjacent to Van Dyck wherever he goes, to propagate this story with all the constants of defense and football to the wall, since the basis of defense adopted by the majority today depends on waiting for the ball holder not to go to him, but the power of the terms of the Grinta and combat and the like She gave the opposite impression. (7)
Perhaps if they asked Messi himself about this match he would praise the man's intelligence, how not he had already applauded him in one of the shots he kept falling in front of him and then pounced on him in time and successfully missed the ball, that is, he performed the task required of the defender according to football standards.
In the end, no matter how logic is used, expressions can be summarized in one word, will remain at the forefront of the scene, whim will continue to search for the burning words in order to win debates and fictitious battles, and football will remain unfair whatever choices, because everyone will not consider any criteria that do justice to anyone at the expense of Wearing their favorite team shirt.
