Carragher: Van Dijk has joined the ranks of Red Army giants such as Jay 8 and King, and is not at the bottom

September 18th In the first round of the Champions League stage, Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2 at home, and captain Van Dijk headed the ball in stoppage time. This is Van Dijk's 29th goal in his club career and has a 325-game appearance record. This season is also Van Dijk's third season as captain of the Reds, and he continues his outstanding form.

Liverpool legend Carragher said in his evaluation of Van Dijk: "In Liverpool, there are many players called legends because they have won the league or the Champions League, and there are many such players. But if you want to distinguish further, I would call some of them the Reds giants.

" For example, Gerald, Daglish, Sones, Alan Hansen, John Barnes and Salah, they are the top seven or eight players. There is no doubt that Van Dijk is also in this ranks, and he is not the bottom one, and I am very sure of this.

"Van Dijk will become one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history, not just the greatest central defender, but one of the greatest players."
