After helping the Netherlands book their spot in the decider with a 3-1 extra-time win over England in Guimaraes on Thursday, ahead of the Nations League final against Portugal, the Dutch defender is focused on more than just the superstar on the other side of the field as he's fully aware of other threats having played along side and against some members of the team.
Virgil van Dijk said there was more for the Oranje to worry about than just Cristiano Ronaldo in their Nations League final against Portugal.
Van Dijk, who's been considered one of the world's best defenders will go head to head against Christiano Ronaldo who is arguably the best player on the planet in the final on Sunday. The Liverpool defender told reporters;
"We'll see. It's not only Cristiano Ronaldo we're going to face, we face a great Portugal. We will see what's going to happen, I'm looking forward to playing this final with this team, and we're going to give everything that we can to hopefully hold that trophy in the end and do everyone proud."
While Ronaldo starred again against Switzerland, a Portugal teenager – Joao Felix – has generated plenty of buzz with his performances for Benfica and he's also aware of players such a Bernado Silver who just helped Manchester City to the premier league trophy over his team.
