Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk has a soft spot for a rossonero

According to the Dutchman, the Frenchman is like Boogeyman

In a lengthy interview with Sky Sports UK, van Djik, one of the best defenders around, revealed who is the most difficult striker to mark, at least in his experience. He did not mention the names of Haaland, Mbappé or Messi. His choice fell on a striker who plays in Italy, AC Milan to be precise.

“The worst striker to manage? Giroud. You have the feeling you can control him, but somehow he always finds a way to score. At Arsenal, at Chelsea, with France. The year we won the league (with Liverpool, ed.) and beat Arsenal, we were up 3-0 and he scored a crazy goal. I told him, ‘Did you score again?’ He is the player who always scores goals for me. There are so many very good strikers like Messi, Aguero, Haaland but I say Giroud, he is like Boogeyman,” the words of the Reds central.
