Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has discussed his incredible stat which showed no player dribbled past him in the entire Premier League campaign.

The Dutchman believes his education on the streets of the Netherlands helped him become a European champion - and contributed to THAT statistic.

He told Unisport: "I have had the benefit of a lot of one-v-ones by playing a lot on the streets.

"I played in a lot of five-a-side games when I was younger and I loved to attack in those days as well, so you got a bit of a feeling how attackers might think in certain situations.

"Obviously that comes with experience in my professional career too, but I think if you want to progress as a defender or an attacker then just keep playing in the streets with your friends."
