Rio Ferdinand Names Virgil van Dijk Best Centre-Back In The World by Hugged: 7:16am On Nov 10, 2021

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has named Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk as the best centre-back in the world.

Ferdinand stated this following Liverpool’s Premier League 3-2 defeat to West Ham over the weekend.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said, “It’s who stands the length of time as well, if you could do it over a period of time.

“There is no doubt in my mind Virgil’s best year would stack up against most centre-backs, but you don’t get judged on that best year, you get judged over that period of time. Cleaning Services In Nigeria

“I think you have got to think you are the guy, you have got to think you are the best… and I think Virgil, he’s the best centre-back in the world.

“Yes, there is going to be teething problems, that is going to happen because he’s been out for so long and he’s just getting his feet wet again, but I still believe if there is a game right now today and I need a centre back, my first centre back on the list would be him.”

He might be the best now simply because we no longer have quality defenders. He wouldn't be in the top ten if it was during the days of Terry, Vidic, Ricardo Cavaloh, Ramos, Maldini and Canavaro

But your daft friend Gary Neville still thinks the £80million pounds fridge called “Maguire” is the best thing after Jollof Rice.

It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't like you or your team sing your praises.

Trust the English Media to always hype most of their below average players.

Harry Maguire is not worth £23mil, but because Liverpool got Virgil Van Dijk, a non British player for £75mil, they decided to make the below average Maguire the world most expensive defender by getting him for a whopping £80mil.


We all know the price tag they slapped on Andy Carroll and Rickie Lambert.
