Heskey: Van Dijk Makes Everyone Better Emile Heskey has hailed the calibre of Liverpool defender, Virgil Van Dijk and says he makes everyone better. The Dutch centre back has been a key man for Liverpool since he arrived at the club, as the Reds hold a four-point lead in the League. Van Dijk has had to play with different partners in centreback, but that has not stopped the team from playing good football. “When you look at Van Dijk, and when you look at Liverpool, in essence they haven’t had that leader I would go as far back as Jamie Carragher,” he told Sky Sports . “Someone who really commands a defence. Someone who really stands out and is counted for. Someone who is marshalling people around. Now Van Dijk has come in and he seems to be that man. “He’s a great defender, he’s quick, he’s good in the air, he barks out orders. So, what more do you need? It seems that everyone who plays alongside him, [he] always brings out the best in them as well.”
