Speaking on the UMM YouTube channel, Harvey Elliott has been speaking about Virgil van Dijk and how big the centre-back actually is.
Virgil van Dijk stands at 6 foot 5, and he looks like an absolute goliath on the pitch, towering over almost every single striker he comes up against.
We’ve all seen him on the pitch, but Elliott says that van Dijk looks even bigger when you get up close to him.
What’s been said?
Elliott was speaking about how massive van Dijk actually is.
“Virgil van Dijk is even bigger in real life?” The host asked.
“Yeah, but I think that’s because I’m small, I’m five foot six, so compared to him, he towers over me, when I go to hug him, he’s looking right over me like that, so yeah, he’s a massive guy,” Elliott said.
Giant
Elliott says that van Dijk is even bigger up close. Can you imagine just how scary that must be as a striker?
Coming up against a centre-half who has won the PFA Player of the Year and finished second in the Ballon d’Or is frightening enough, but if you stand next to him and he’s bigger than he looks on the TV, it would strike fear into any striker in the world.
Van Dijk is not only one of the most talented footballers in the world, he’s also one of the most physically gifted players of this generation.
