Study results: Van Dijk is not the best defender in Europe
London - Virgil van Dijk has just won the title of best player at UEFA. But there are studies that mention Van Dijk's number one besides Niklas Sule.
Van Dijk won the title by beating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. His appearance behind is the key to the success of Liverpool's Champions League.
In addition, Van Dijk has managed to make Liverpool win the cleanest goal of the English league, 21 times, and cannot be duplicated by opposing players throughout the season.
With such brilliant performances, it is not surprising that he is now the best defender in Europe. However, a recent study published by the CIES Football Observatory revealed that van Dijk was not the best.
The research, conducted since March 2019, uses a unique algorithm that ranks players based on their matches. This assessment also considers the productivity and effectiveness of the actors in the field, both individually and collectively.
In addition, this study also uses OptaPro data. In addition, by considering a number of performance variables, this study generates value for each player with the right performance.
As a result, Van Dijk received 90.5 out of 100 points according to the CIES Fotball Observatory. This value places the Dutch in second place under Sule.
The Bayern Munich defender scored 92.1 and made him the best defender and current European player. Do you agree?
