Van Dijk and 50 opponents who failed to handle the situation one by one

Fabio Cannavaro is the last defender to have won the Golden Ball, which he received in 2006.

Looking through the story of the biggest prize for a player, he has been most destined for players with offensive features, less for those defanziv.

In fact, only three defenders have managed to win the Golden Ball so far, but Virgil Van Dijk could become the fourth to win the award.

The Dutch defender has been named the best player in England after the extraordinary Premier League season, while winning the sixth title in the Champions League.

In all races, the 29-year-old has managed to keep the gate intact in 26 confrontations, while no player has managed to drive it.

The former Southampton member is seen as the favourite to kidnap Golden Ball, until 50 opponents have been shown in a published video who failed to record it in last season.
