Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk admits he doesn't like to slide tackle.

He made the revelation when discussing Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

Van Dijk told De Telegraaf: “Ramos is not the best.

“He's a great player and I respect what he has achieved, but he is not my type of central defender."

“Personally, I don't defend the way Ramos does.

“I try to avoid the kind of situations in which he excels and I don't even try to make sliding tackles."
