Since moving away from Southampton to Liverpool in January 2018, in a then world record fee for a defender of £75million, Dutch pro footballer Virgil Van Dijk has been amazing.
The Dutchman played a huge role in Liverpool's UEFA Champions League victory last season. He hardly makes the wrong move for The Reds.
Brazilian pro forward Richarlison, despite all these outstanding feats by Van Dijk, believes the Reds defender is not the best as they prepare for their English Premier League clash on Sunday, 21 June.
Richarlison went ahead to name three defenders he believes are better than the Dutchman.

He said in an interview with Desimpedidos: "People talk a lot about him [Van Dijk]. 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."
"Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos," he answered, when asked which players he thinks are better than Van Dijk, 28.
Last year Balloon d'Or, Virgil Van Dijk emerged second best after Barcelona Argentine playmaker Lionel Messi.
He clinched the PFA Players' Player Award Of The Year.
