“He’s a great leader” – Cole Palmer reveals his toughest opponent in the Premier League
Cole Palmer, a Chelsea star, thinks Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool is extremely difficult. In the Premier League, the 33-year-old defender has established a solid reputation. He later emerged as the league’s top defender for a considerable amount of time.
He is also a true leader of men. At the moment, he serves as both a club and national captain. The 22-year-old midfielder views him as a formidable opponent, which is not unexpected. Most people in the football community will say nice things about the Dutchman.
Why did Cole Palmer name Virgil van Dijk?
As per sportskeeda, the 22-year-old has faced him 5 times. But, he has only managed to win twice. Even then, he has not won against the Liverpool captain while playing for Chelsea. Cole Palmer was right to name Virgil van Dijk.
The center-back would play a key role in the Reds’ UCL winning season. Players had a hard time dribbling past him. At the same time, he would come very close to winning the Ballon d’or 2019. Also, his aerial abilities make him even more dangerous. He always poses a threat from set-pieces.
