Ramos: Van Dijk Deserves to Compete with Ronaldo and Messi

Sergio Ramos said that the presence of Virgil van Dijk has added a new dimension to European individual soccer competition. For him, the audience was too bored to be treated in a competition involving Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

He expressed this opinion in his latest documentary, El Corazón de Sergio Ramos, which was broadcast on pay-TV networks. Ramos also welcomed the development of Van Dijk with Liverpool in European competition.

Not long ago, Virgil van Dijk got rid of Ronaldo and Messi, one of Europe's best players this year. Later, the three players will return to participate in the FIFA Best Award which will take place later this year.

"People are still talking about Ronaldo and Messi, and as we know, Van Dijk is a central defender with great skills, last season was very unusual for him and he worked very hard to reach his current level," he said. Ramos, quoted by Marca.

"This season is a great opportunity for players other than Ronaldo and Messi to perform, even though everything about individual awards is never easily achieved." "In recent years, several players have been able to win both players," he continued.

Sergio Ramos has just entered the ranks of the top ten goalscorer of the Spanish national team of all time. A goal against Romania last week now brings him 21 goals for the national team. David Villa, the last leading scorer, scored 38 goals.
