UEFA Nations League Final: Van Dijk Speaks On Facing Ronaldo

Netherlands captain, Virgil van Dijk, has insisted that there are other players to worry about than just Cristiano Ronaldo, when they face Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final.

The Dutch booked their spot in the decider with a 3-1 extra-time win over England in Guimaraes on Thursday.

Van Dijk, considered one of the world’s best defenders, and Ronaldo, arguably the best player on the planet, will go head to head in the final on Sunday.

But the Liverpool star said there was more to Portugal than just Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick in their semi-final victory against Switzerland.

“We’ll see. It’s not only Cristiano Ronaldo we’re going to face, we face a great Portugal. We will see what’s going to happen.

“I’m looking forward to playing this final with this team, and we’re going to give everything that we can to hopefully hold that trophy in the end and do everyone proud,” Van Dijk told reporters after the England game.
