GoalPost read
V. van Dijk still carries value as a veteran centre back because Liverpool showed he can deliver at a high standard. His usual peak window is behind him, so the runway is shorter.

Analysis overview
Defends so calmly it looks slow — until you realize he's reading the next two passes. Aerial dominance, ball-playing range, and a turning circle bigger than it should be.
