Van Dijk Is the Boss of Liverpool’s Defence – Gallas Calls It the Premier League’s Strongest
Former Chelsea star William Gallas has singled out Liverpool as having the strongest defence in the Premier League this season.
Gallas credits Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk for mentoring Ibrahima Konaté.
Speaking to Prime Casino, the former defender praised van Dijk’s leadership, calling him the backbone of Liverpool’s defensive success.
“Van Dijk has elevated Konaté to a whole new level, and Liverpool is reaping the rewards with a rock-solid defence,” Gallas said.
“Even as captain, van Dijk remains the defensive boss, directing the backline with authority. Konaté, in turn, has grown tremendously by observing and learning from him.”
Gallas believes Konaté is being groomed to take over once van Dijk eventually departs.
“When van Dijk moves on, it will be Konaté’s turn to lead and mentor the next player in line,” Gallas added. “That is the mark of a great defence—building a legacy of leadership and strength.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
