Comparing the fan between Paolo Maldin and Virgil van Diyk will spur serious debate

Liverpool's star shines on all attributes needed by a modern-day protector: speed, power, intervention, strong air, calm and perfect reading of the game, Periscope broadcasts.

Van Diek's consistency is almost incredible: he has almost never disappointed since he joined Liverpool in mid-1917/18 season.

Liverpool fans go so far that they consider it one of the best of all time in his position, a tendency that is often ridiculed by rival fans.

A Twitter user has now compared him to Milan legend Paolo Maldini.

“refused to believe that Maldini was a better defender than VVD. How can you be better than that? What can be improved,” Ask “SeanDOlfc”.

Modlin was physically averaged, not long, but clearly read the game miraculously. VVD reads the game miraculously, but it's also the best local presence and it's fast.

Each quarterback has a lack. Terry would like more speed, Vidic would like to read the long balls behind him better, Ramos has problems with red card.

“What can the VVD add to its game? 30 goals in season?”

The main problem of Van Diek's comparison with Maldini will be addressed over time: life expectancy.

Maldini was considered world-class defender for 25 years. /Periscope. com/
