I’m not sure ITV are massively advancing the idea of women’s equality in football by having Emma Hayes give her analysis from a set which looks like she’s stuck in a kitchen?
Virgil Van Dijk scoring in a World Cup at 34 years of age.
At this stage of their careers:
• Rio Ferdinand was playing at QPR.
• Nemanja Vidic had already retired.
• John Terry was 31 and had already played his last game for England.
Yet Van Dijk is still captaining club and country, competing at the highest level, and delivering on the biggest stage.
Longevity. Consistency. Leadership.
The greatest centre-back of his generation isn't a debate anymore.
It's Virgil Van Dijk 🐐
@thatrexguy Wild thought, but we should sell this summer. His valuation is the highest it will be coming off the most prolific season of his career - no WC for him, so no chance for injury, and gives Wirtz the freedom he would need to be a true 10 and not be pushed to the wing.
