4 reasons Van Dyk is wronged after Lionel Messi won the best award

4 reasons Van Dyk is wronged after Lionel Messi won the best award

It is a special case experienced by football fans everywhere when they find a player to enter a real competition with the poles of football in its current age Lionel Messi and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

Almost a month ago, the Dutchman Virgil van Dijk, in the presence of Messi and Ronaldo, won the European Footballer of the Year award after a fabulous season for Liverpool defender at all levels.

In this era there are few who have succeeded to beat Messi and Ronaldo, until last season when Modric won the award Messi was not among the three candidates, today Van Dyke won the award and Messi and Ronaldo sit next to him.

Today the verse is over and a month later, Lionel Messi is officially crowned FIFA World Player of the Year, beating his arch-rivals Cristiano Ronaldo and today's rival Virgil van Dijk.

There are things that cannot be disputed or debated. There are things that are completely settled and do not need opinions, including the legendary Argentine Lionel Messi, who in my opinion is the best player in the history of football, but about this season, did Van Dyk injustice today?

Champions League

The password is always the Champions League, both individually and collectively the Champions League title is the most important of each season and the final of the Champions League is the most important event of every season.

I believe that the Champions League, whether the title or the final, especially the title certainly paves the way for many things in the future, whether on the collective side of the clubs, financially and historically or on the individual side of the players from the addition of achievements and tournaments.

We are always used to seeing the most prominent player winning the Champions League to be the best player in the world especially in recent years, but this did not happen this season with Van Dyck

Van Dyke outperformed Messi face to face

During Liverpool's spectacular Champions League trip to the Champions League last season, the Reds met Barcelona in the semi-finals of the tournament, and Juergen Klopp wrote history with gold pens.

A 3-0 defeat at Camp Nou, a comeback and a 4-0 win at Anfield is unusual, not much happening in football and would only have happened with Liverpool.

Van Dijk beat Lionel Messi and reached the final, the Dutch made a fairy back-and-forth match and was not dodged for 180 minutes.


International Excellence

Van Dijk led the Netherlands with a new generation under Ronald Koeman to reach the UEFA Europa League final in their first season but lost to Portugal.

Personally, I see Van Dyke at international level better than Messi, who, as usual, failed to reach even the final of the Copa America last summer.

Individual figures and achievements

Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk is the European champion, the European super and the best player in the Premier League.

Van Dyke has played 50 appearances for Liverpool in various tournaments and nine in the Netherlands jersey, from July 31, 2018 to the same month of 2019.

During this time Van Dyke appeared 5305 minutes more than Ronaldo and Messi, but the statistics here will vary because of the difference in positions between the Dutch defender and the Argentine and Portuguese strikers.


Van Dijk succeeded in making 475 interventions and won the ball 350 times, bringing his correct interventions to 73.7% more than any defender in the world during this period.

Van Dyck also surpassed everyone in the number and proportion of pneumatic interventions with 352 pneumatic interference winning the ball 257 times during them by 73%, the most among all in the five major leagues.

Due to the Dutch cannon at all levels, Van Dyke, who was the main reason for Liverpool's return as the new champions of the old continent
