Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League thanks to a prolific attack and an iron defense. According to Richard Dunne, the best central defender in England is with the Reds.
Since the start of this season, Liverpool have become leaders of the Premier League. With five points ahead of their main rival, Manchester City, the Reds are sailing in favorable waters. This impressive dynamic is largely based on a fiery attack, led by Mohamed Salah, author of 8 goals and 6 assists in 11 matches. But the defensive solidity of the Mersey club also plays a crucial role.
Under the orders of Arne Slot, the Liverpool team displays the best defense, with only 6 goals conceded after 11 days. For former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne, there is no doubt that the best central defender in the championship is currently playing at Anfield.
“He’s at the head of the pack”
“Definitely, Van Dijk from Liverpool. I think he was fantastic again and leading the pack. He looks like a player who is about to get back to his best,” confided the Irishman to Gambling
Zone.
The consultant also places Ibrahima Konaté above William Saliba and Gabriel in the hierarchy of central defenders. “I don't think they've been in top form this season, so one of them is going to have to miss out. I would put Ibrahima Konaté above them at this stage” he judged.
And to add: “I think Konaté played very well in 1v1 defense. . He is fast and strong. Probably those two, and while I don't think Saliba was at his best, I put him third. »
