Virgil van Dijk, a Liverpool defender, has been praised by former Norway attacker Jan ge Fjrtoft. On Twitter, the 55-year-old expressed his admiration for the Reds' centre-playing back's approach.
Van Dijk is always fully engaged on his game, according to Fjrtoft, but he makes it look easy by smiling. Other players should take notes from the Dutch captain's attitude, according to the 71-cap Norwegian international.
Fjrtoft sent out the following tweet:
With a hard-fought win against Championship side Nottingham Forest on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp's men booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals. The Reds defeated Steve Cooper's side at the City Ground thanks to Diogo Jota's late goal.
Virgil van Dijk had a fantastic game, leading the Liverpool backline excellently and impressing with his exceptional passing range. On April 16, the Merseyside giants will face Manchester City in the semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
The Reds are aiming for a historic quadruple, while Pep Guardiola's team is aiming for a treble.
The two teams will also meet in a Premier League match on April 10 at the Etihad Stadium. It has the potential to be a game that determines who wins the league title. Liverpool won the League Cup earlier this season, defeating Chelsea on penalties in the final at Wembley Stadium.
Liverpool's acquisition of Virgil van Dijk was a watershed moment. Almost every Liverpool signing made by Jurgen Klopp has paid off. The signing of Virgil van Dijk, on the other hand, has perhaps been the most significant for the Reds. The Merseysiders ultimately managed to bring the Dutchman back in January 2018 for a huge amount of £75 million after courting him for a few windows.
The central defender made an immediate effect at Anfield, practically single-handedly transforming an average defense into a world-class one.
Liverpool are well aware of the value of the Dutch captain to the team, having lost the majority of last season due to injury. As a result, the Reds had a difficult time finishing in the top four. Van Dijk is without a doubt one of the best defenders of the modern era. Some also say he is the best defender to ever play in the premier league.
