Van Dijk has been exceptional since joining Liverpool in January 2018
Not only did he get on the score sheet, Van Dijk kept the deadly Robert Lewandowski virtually silent for two legs.And, according to Johnson, you need a player like that if you want to win the Champions League. As a player you dont want to see others around you panicking and thats one thing Ive never seen him do, Johnson told Jim White on talkSPORT.When players see him as calm as he is in every situation, it rubs off and everyone puffs themselves out as well.Theres going to be many times in the Champions League youll come up against world class strikers, and hes the player you need to put them to sleep.Johnson, who spent six years at Anfield, admits a small part of him is jealous he never got to play alongside the Dutchman.I wouldve liked to have him at Liverpool [when I was there], he added.But, to be fair, we did have top centre-halves at the time as well. We had [Daniel] Agger and [Martin] Skrtel.
