“Van Dijk is just waiting and watching him shoot, ” Van Basten told NOS.
What is he looking at? He needs to be on top of him! He just lets him shoot!” van Basten added.
Responding to the comments of the legendary striker who won three Ballon d’Or titles , van Dijk said :
“I don’t think he is ever positive, so what am I supposed to do with it? It’s easy to talk from the studio.”
