“I’ve always looked at a centre where a real bodybuilder/football player, with also a very good defender. So the tandem Koeman/Van Dijk would be in that respect to fit,” he says on the official channel of the KNVB.

He continues: “But I see in The Is also known as a type of Koeman. And that is only 19 years, so that is perhaps even better. And that is also a very nice tandem. But the relationship is a strong, physical, good defender and a real footballer at each other in the center is actually the most ideal.”
