Virgil van Dijk (34), who effectively signed a `life-long contract' with Liverpool, received a terrible warning the day after the contract was renewed. It is said that he is in a vulnerable state in front of a major injury that could end his career. I don't think I'll ever be able to listen in one ear. This is because the person who gave this warning is an incumbent doctor.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 18th (Korean time) 'An incumbent doctor was warned that Van Dyke was vulnerable to injuries that could end his career like Joe Gomez did.
The person who issued this warning was Dr. Gareth Nye, a biomedical instructor and physician at the University of Salford in England. Dr Nye, who is also a Liverpool fan, warned Van Dijk could be seriously injured next season right away.
Dr Nye said in a team talk that "in terms of positioning, van Dijk is at a higher risk of serious injury. If you look at Liverpool's style of play, Van Dijk takes the line high and spends a lot of time returning to defensive areas"Defenders are much more likely to suffer knee and ankle ligament injuries, and Van Dyke has already suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury and has not played in nearly nine months."

Gomez, who Dr. Nye cited as a risk case, is still only 27 years old, but is already recognized as a 'glass body'. He has been out for a long time because of two recurrences of hamstring injuries this season alone. Van Dijk, on the other hand, is playing in Liverpool's full-length game except for one Champions League game this season.
However, Van Dijk, the core of Liverpool's pressure tactics, inevitably goes up to the half-line and quickly returns to the rear line. Such a large amount of activity can be a big burden for players around Van Dijk's age.

The interview time is also the day after Van Dijk announced a two-year contract renewal with Liverpool. Liverpool announced on its official website on the 17th that it has signed a new contract with Van Dijk until 2027. As a result, Van Dyke will wear Liverpool's red jersey as Anfield's guardian deity until 2027.
Van Dijk is the world's best defender who doesn't need any further explanation. Van Dyke, who stood out at Southampton, joined Liverpool in the transfer market in January 2018. He then grew with the team and was upgraded to a world-class defender.
In 2019, the year after the transfer, he swept the English Premier League (EPL) Player of the Year, the PFA Player of the Year, and the UEFA Player of the Year award. Since joining Van Dijk, Liverpool has won one EPL and FA Cup, two League Cup championships, and two UEFA Champions League championships. Van Dijk played a big part.
Van Dijk has scored 27 goals in a total of 314 appearances from the 2018-2019 season to this season. He played as a key defender of the team immediately from the first season, and his skills have not diminished to this day. He played as a main defender and has maintained his top skills even after entering his 30s.

Van Dijk, who was about to expire after this season, has been in long negotiations with Liverpool. In the meantime, there were also transfer rumors, including the reverse proposal for Real Madrid. However, he finally joined hands with Liverpool again.
Van Dijk said on the club's website: `I'm really happy and proud. A lot of emotions go through my head, and I'm incredibly proud and happy. I'm really surprised and happy to be able to continue my career at Liverpool for two more years."
Then " (in my mind) it was always only Liverpool. It really was. Liverpool has always been in my head, and there is no doubt that this is where I and my family must be. I am a Liverpool man" an acquaintance called me 'adopted Scouser' a while ago. I'm so proud of these words and it made me feel good," he said, expressing great joy and satisfaction.
