Dutch defender has given support to Egyptian striker before the Champions League match against Pep Guardiola’s team
Virgil van Dijk believes Mohamed Salah will be dominant against any defender in the World, including Manchester City defending.

“Red” will face champions in anticipation of the Premier League in the first match of the Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday in Anfield.

Salah scored the fourth goal when Reds beat City in the amazing 4-3 Premier League game in January, thus reviving Citys who had won 5-0 at Etihad Stadium in September.

Van Dijk, who was Southampton’s player when Klopp’s squad was massacred by Manhester in September, insists Salah is able to score against anyone. Until now Egypt is in superform since it has scored 37 goals in 41 games this season.

“Everybody knows this. That’s how we feel about it, “Van Dijk told Reuters when asked whether he would re-brand Salah against City.

“He is the kind of player you need to be in shape to stop him. When it’s 100 percent, Salah inside the area can destroy you, “the Dutchman said.

Salah is expected to face Kevin De Bruyne in the European competition, where Belgian is seen his only rival to win the Premier League Player of the year title./Flshsport24
