Toure: Van Dijk has a weakness in one on one defending

[TLW 147]

Kolo Toure believes he has identified the weakness in the game of Virgil Van Dijk.

 

The big Dutch defender has been without peer over the past few years, making life a nightmare for those who comes up against him while making those around him better players.

Managers all over Europe would have had many sleepless nights as they try to find ways to bring him undone but have not had much luck in doing so.

However the former Arsenal, Man City and Reds defender believes he knows what can challenge him the most.

Toure told Stats Perform News (via the Mirror:) 

"He's an unbelievable player.

"He's a top player. He's got speed, height, he can jump. He's got technique. He can switch the game with his long passes. He has got everything.

“I haven't seen many players challenge him one on one. 

"In my opinion, that's his weakness!

 

"He's really tall and if you really attack him with the ball, he can struggle, but he's so clever.

"He's so clever because he drops well, but if you are really aggressive in attack in a one-on-one, I think you can get something from him.

Toure who is presently an assistant coach at Leicester believes he also has got quality players who are strong in support.

 

"He's a really clever player.

 

"He's got Joe Gomez on his side, good players on his side to help him as well. There are good players around him and I think that makes his game easy, but I think he's got so many qualities."

As champions, you expect to read more and more analysis of the Liverpool players and the tactics needed in how is the best way to dethrone us.

But there is no doubt that Jurgen and rest of the squad will be more than prepared for anything that comes their way.

Maybe spend a bit more time working Leicester form since the restart and they might not have blown a top 4 spot

[VladimirIlyich 7,366]

This is all because Richarlison ran past him. He didn't have the ball like but its an obvious weakness! I hope VVD continues to be this weak for the rest of his career.

Sell him, is it too late to get Lovren back?

Yes it is,at least I hope it is.

[Numero 6,925]

Weak in one on ones. 

 

Okay. I'm going to block this cunt on Twitter for this. I might even neg every member here with Toure in their name.

I think he missed out a couple of words in his quote :

 

Toure: Van Dijk has a weakness in one on one whole team's defending

Don't forget that time Pepe beat him in a race to the touchline before losing the ball.

Hypejob.

To be fair Kolo is very complimentary in 99% of that article , it is the clickbait headline that is the issue.

I negged you regardless of any intention. It could have started a revolt and we all know that everyone that's received a fridge magnet is no longer with us. It's the Usher equivalent of an horse's head.

Repped for placing 'an' in front of a word beginning with 'h'.

I never knew that. Thanks for the lesson.

 

I'm not being sarcastic either.

Do you pronounce the "h"?

 

[AngryofTuebrook 17,867]

"I haven’t seen many players challenge him one on one."

 

And of the few you have seen, how many have bested him?

 

I like the way that, in looking for a potential flaw in his game, you have to rule out all the stuff you've seen him do week in, week out.

Ask Kylian if he's shit one on one!

Even if he did (he doesn't), no fucker has the balls to test him.
