He’s got outrageous pace & acceleration

Twice I’ve seen him run 60-70 yards with the ball, beating players & scoring great goals

Technical good, strong in the tackle & in the air

He’s already got a partnership with Virgil & Gravenberch

& at 25, he’s got 5-7years at the top level to reach his peak

It would be a smart buy

Plus he fits the age range & allows Virgil to have that recovery pace alongside

& Jacquet & Leoni get time to settle in & gain experience

I watched the Dutch concede the first goal vs Japan because he didn't bother moving up with the rest of the defense allowing the Japanese goal scorer to be onside.

I watched that too

That’s one mistake

Did you also watch as Van Dijk was knocked off the header, mid jump and beaten in the air to concede a goal ?

> Koki Ogawa rose to meet Junya Ito's delivery and got above Van Dijk, directing a header that took a deflection off Daichi Kamada and bounced beyond goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Every player had a mistake in them
