Van Dijk is now considered not as good as Sergio Ramos

Virgil van Dijk still needs a number of years at a high level to match Sergio Ramos's level. Van Dijk is now considered inappropriate in relation to Ramos.

This view was shared by talkSPORT analyst Danny Murphy. Today, Van Dijk is indeed the best world champion defender after helping Liverpool win the Champions League last season.

This idea was reinforced by Van Dijk's consistent performances for Liverpool and the Dutch national team. However, Murphy does not agree. He thinks that Ramos is still far stronger than Van Dijk.

Who is the best?

For Murphy, Ramos is on a different level from other defenders. He continued to win trophies with Real Madrid and often helped the team to score important goals in important matches.

Ramos has been very consistent over the years. This is not yet proven by Van Dijk, only shining for two years.

"Players' perceptions are sometimes based on their nature, not their football skills, and I think that's what happened in Ramos," Murphy said.

"This subject, I raised it because who is better? Who is a better defender than Ramos?"


Want Ramos

In addition, Murphy knew that currently Van Dijk was hired by many people. However, if this perspective extends to the last 10 years, it is clear that Ramos emerged victorious.

"You can choose Van Dijk now, of course, but Van Dijk does not play at the highest level during what Ramos is doing and is aware of what he is doing," Murphy said.

"Yes, Ramos is often fired by referees, he can be very embarrassing because of this problem, but I'm sure some football fans have rejected Ramos in their team in the past 10 years," he said. he stated.
