# Liverpool fans have hailed one of Klopp’s best decisions

**You’d be hardpressed to find a more popular man at Liverpool right now than Virgil van Dijk. Since the Dutch defender moved to Anfield last year, he’s seen his already-impressive reputation improve ten-fold.**

Now, there’s no denying that he’s amongst the best defenders in Europe, and he’s been a key reason why Liverpool have improved so drastically over the last 12 months.

He’s strong in the air, he’s great with the ball at his feet, and he’s become a player that is almost impossible to dribble past. Combined, that’s made the Liverpool defence almost impenetrable, especially given the fantastic players that are around him every week.

[The defender has now been at Liverpool for 50 games, and that’s a fact that the Reds have been celebrating over on Twitter this week.](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1085144063068663810)

Naturally, this accomplishment has led to a lot of chatter amongst Reds online, with plenty of Liverpool supporters paying tribute to the defender – whose signing is quickly proving to be Jurgen Klopp’s best ever decision at the club. See below:
