De Ligt Trouble at Juventus, Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk reiterated his role as a senior player in the Dutch national team. This time, he helped Matthijs de Ligt restore his confidence.

Last week, De Ligt was criticized for his poor performance in the Juventus defense. Juve fans have criticized De Ligt for his mediocre appearance when Juve beat Napoli 4-3 last week.

Nevertheless, De Ligt's actual performance can be understood. He is young, playing in a new league, with new partners and does not understand Italian well. De Ligt just needs to adapt.

Because of this, Van Dijk believes that critics will not influence De Ligt's mentality. Read the full review below, Bolaneters!

Since then, De Ligt joined the Dutch national team to qualify for EURO 2020. There he met Van Dijk, the oldest central defender.

Van Dijk certainly tried to help De Ligt, but in reality he did not discuss much about the problem of poor performance. He was sure De Ligt was old enough.

"I see Matthijs coming very normally, nothing is wrong," Van Dijk told Goal International.

"Everyone who knows him understands that he is always calm in situations like this."

In addition, Van Dijk also explained that De Ligt no longer thought of criticism at the club level. At present, they carry out functions that are the responsibility of the state. So they only focus on the Dutch national team.

"Of course, I talk to him, but we don't need to talk to each other much," Van Dijk continued.

"After that, we focused on the future and the game in front of us as defenders, which we did," he concluded.

However, the Van Dijk-De Ligt duo have become one of the main assets of the Dutch national team for years to come.
