Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn has praised Virgil van Dijk on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, but he has picked John Terry ahead of the Liverpool defender.
Bergwijn has said that his Netherlands international teammate Van Dijk is a fantastic central defender.
However, the 23-year-old Spurs winger has picked former Chelsea star Terry ahead of Van Dijk.
Bergwijn said on the Premier League’s YouTube channel: “Virgil is very good, but I have to pick John Terry. I am an honest guy. Virgil is fantastic, but we have to give this to John Terry.”
Van Dijk, who has missed most of this season with injury, is one of the best central defenders in the world.
The 29-year-old is a very classy footballer who makes defending look easy.
The Dutchman is an artist who is brilliant on the ball, is always calm and cool under pressure, and is leader at the back.
You will struggle to find any Liverpool fan who will say that the Reds would have won the Premier League and the Champions League without the former Celtic star.
However, at this point, you have to pick Terry over Van Dijk.
Now the assistant manager at Aston Villa, the former England international is one of the greatest defenders to have ever played in the Premier League.
Terry won the Premier League title five times, the FA Cup on five occasions, and the Champions League and the Europa League once each with the Blues.
