Ramos is never as calm as Van Dijk still he's successful his way. Even Ramos is only 184 cm. So as a defender having height isn't everything but it helps in Winning headers but also Watching the ball better and holding the dribbler's line. Think about Matip he defends well, he is neither strong nor fast. So being taller than the dribbler actually helps in better defending.

    Precisely why he is on top. While he is without a doubt a top defender, unfortunately attackers these days are shorter, and rely precisely more on pace and movement to get past defenders, and that automatically favours VVD already who’s built like a tank and just suffers none of these fools. Back in the golden days of prime attackers and true number 9s, we had strikers like Drogba, Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Milito were bigger and robust and knew how to use their frame more than most. THEY would give him more of a run for his money. Lukaku is perhaps the last of such physical strikers today in the top leagues. So in a sense VVD is a freak by today’s standards.

    @@theredeemer4704 Lukaku is the only one who has a physical presence that could trouble VVD and he in fact did, he had VVD on the floor at one point in those Liverpool v Chelsea matchups. The likes of Haaland and Dzeko rely more on movement than physicality, they’re not up to scratch when you wanna compare ‘em to the physical target men that the Drogbas, Jan Kollers, Diego Costas of old. Kane and Lewandowski too just aren’t that physical type, they rely more on utilising their technique above all else. You’d have done better naming someone like Giroud or Zapata, strikers who relish a battle against defenders. Also, you seem to forget that I acknowledge VVD as THE top defender in the world, so this isn’t me knocking him, but I’m saying he has an added advantage in the modern game because he simply doesn’t deal with those type of physical attackers as often, for the most part he just brilliantly contains pacy attackers who he simply shows down a line for the most part before he proceeds to outmuscle or step in and tackle them.

    1:07 THIS! I remember Gary Neville elaborated on that world class defending while commentating. He chose a lesser evil. When asked in the post match he explained he forced Sissoko to shoot rather than pass it to Son since he’s better shooter, believing in Alisson would be easier if he need to handle it. Similar when he 1v1 against Son, he forced hin to his weaker foot since he always study their opponents before.

    This is a common tactic taught to defenders in 2v1 situations, always take away the passing lane and let the keeper focus on stopping the player with the ball without having to worry about a pass. It's hard to follow in game though because it seems wrong to not stop the ball (see Harry Maguire)

    I would always back VVD in any 1v1 against any current forward in European football. He is Psychologically dominant in any of these battles. You would really have to be good to out-trick him, out-muscle him or out-run him and with just a few exceptions it would be pointless to try and beat him in the air. Liverpool keepers must be in dreamland having him right in front of them. He is relaxed when paired with Gomez, Matip, Fabhino, Nat Philips or Konate and has the quality and ability to allow his partner or his wing-backs to go on a run whenever they feel like it. It shows just how much confidence the defensive unit have in his covering ability. Oh and his long diagonal passes are pure class. It's as simple as this, He's fuckin' AWESOME !!

I love how he positions himself especially when covering 2 guys and how he times his movement and the way he pushes wingers off the ball to take it. Well done.

    I'd say the best attributes of his are his awareness, tactical, and conservative defense he has. It what makes his defense is unique and second to none. With the big figure he is, it is quite surprising that he played more with his brain rather than his physique. He just followed his opponents and played mind games lol. All around defensive attribute(tall, strong, quick, great header) not to mention his passes were excellent as well.
