Let's touch on the Van Dyck thing.

We've mentioned it in just in terms of the level he's out of course

because it is another level.

But I do think it's where to spend a bit of time,

particularly with you, obviously, you know,

with your coaching background and you're playing background,

about that, you know, well-trodden phrase now,

the people obviously say he just makes whoever's alongside him better.

And it's a great thing to say it it's also true, though, isn't it?

Because he just does.

And that's not to say he's had poor players,

but, you know, at times you might have had Nat Phillips.

I love Matt Phillips.

Reese Williams are saying.

Reese Williams loved Virgil and I spoke to him this season.

But he does make them better.

And that's obviously through probably talking through the game. It's with just his sheer presence, his leisure, probably wanting to impress him as well, probably part of it,

but you will have played in countless centreback partnerships down in the years. But yeah,

that dynamic and that relationship, as you touched on there, it must be an absolute joy to play

alongside something like you would have, if you were centreback looking over and you've got

Virgil there,

it must make life so much easier.
