Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to comments from Everton forward Richarlison regarding Virgil van Dijk.
As quoted in The Mirror, Everton forward Richarlison has said that he does not think that Liverpool star Van Dijk is the best central defender in the world.
The Mirror quotes Richarlison as saying about Van Dijk: “People talk a lot about him, yes he is a great defender but I’ve already dribbled past him.
”He was chosen as one of the top three in the world as he had an excellent season. But yes, for me there are better defenders.”
The forward added: “Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos.”
Richarlison made the aforementioned comments in the build-up to the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Reds are on the verge of winning the Premier League title, while the Toffees are aiming to finish in the Europa League places.
According to WhoScored, Richarlison – who has played 19 times for the Brazil national football team – has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 27 Premier League games so far this season.
Van Dijk has scored four goals and provided one assist in 29 Premier League matches and has played eight times in the Champions League for Liverpool so far this season, according to WhoScored.
