Ronald Koeman believes Van Dijk and De Ligt are better players than he ever was
The 56-year-old former Ajax and Barcelona defender believes they are both better than he ever was as a player.I was not the quality defender of De Ligt or Virgil, Koeman told the Daily Mail. They are top, top players.We have the best central defenders (in Europe) with De Ligt and Virgil. Thats great because you build the house, always, from downstairs. You dont start with the roof.

When you look at Virgil now, this is a big, big personality on the pitch. He is a leader.That is why I made him captain. I knew him from Southampton. I thought: he can do more he can carry more responsibility. He is strong; he has a great character and enjoys the responsibility. He is a good boy.Van Dijk was a star performer as Liverpool won their sixth European Cup in 2018/19Getty Images - Getty2

De Ligt is only 19! If you watch him play, you do not see a player who is only 19. You see a player who plays with so much more experience than he actually has.The season that he had and all the young boys at Ajax had is great for their development as players. De Ligt is one of the brightest young talents in world football and is set for a big money move this summer with Barcelona and Manchester United touted as possible destinations for the 75million-rated centre-half.Liverpool have also been linked with a swoop for De Ligt, and if they capture the wonderkid this summer Jurgen Klopp will be able to boast about owning the two best defenders in Europe.The pair already star together on the international stage, and the Anfield faithful would love to see them alongside one another on Merseyside as well.talkSPORT brings you full live commentary of every match at the Nations League finals, including Netherlands vs England on Thursday evening.
