Dutch great Wim Kieft says Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk needs to rein in his ego.
Writing for De Telegraaf, Kieft says Van Dijk is believing his own hype.
"He is not sharp, he behaves with the Oranje and Liverpool like the finished star, the great coaching leader, who shows a little too much that he does not like his fellow players," Kieft declared.
“At the same time, he plays lazy and nonchalant himself. He makes mistakes and often runs away from defensive handiwork in matches. With his status, he should be at the forefront of the battle.
“It took Van Dijk a long time to get to the top international level. He has been there for about two seasons now, but it is important that Van Dijk remains very critical of himself. His environment also plays an important role in this.
"It's okay if his trainers shake him up a lot."
