Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk discusses his passing techniques
Liverpool fans are loving a tweet that Red Bull Salzburg shared highlighting the prowess of Reds defender Virgil van Dijk.
Earlier this week, the Reds beat Salzburg 4-3 in the Champions League after the Austrian side had originally come back from 3-0 down to go level with Liverpool.
One of Salzburg’s goals was scored by Hwang Hee-chan, who skipped past Van Dijk en route to scoring.
The other two goals were scored by Erling Braut Haaland and Takumi Minamino.
Salzburg's tweet read: “HHD – name a better trio, we'll wait! #Haaland #Hwang #Daka.”
A graphic, which showed that between Haaland, Minamino and Hee-chan, the three had racked up 35 goals, 18 assists and one dribble past Van Dijk, accompanied the tweet.
And Liverpool fans couldn’t help but appreciate the tweet, which recognised the rare achievement of getting past Van Dijk.
One said: “Lmaoooooo they actually added 1 dribble past VVD just shows how gargantuan he is.”
Another went with: “The fact that that’s a stat now shows how good he is.”
A third wrote: ““You guys really needed to put dribbling passed Van Dyck as an achievement.”
A fourth Liverpool fan tweeted his appreciation, writing: “Finally someone appreciate VVD.”
