Virgil having Cillian Murphy's number whilst Gary can't even get a photo with him 😂
🇮🇪
*Cillian Murphy* chilling out in his factory offices, less than 2 miles down the road from me for much of *Peaky Blinders* series 4, along with many more locations within 1.5 to 3 miles.
Still most people don't realise where those offices are, or that they've been used for at least 2 more shows (plus countless productions surrounding it), as the mainstream media loved ignoring the *17+ Peaky Blinders filming locations* in *Bradford - The World's First UNESCO City of Film,* to concentrate on the fewer locations in places like *Liverpool* and *Manchester.*
Probably a liverpool fan tbh

its normal in the Netherlands to work as a dishwasher

VVD is impossible to dislike. As rival fans were all jealous Liverpool have him.
He really seems like the most down to earth, humble, polite guy without even mentioning his world class ability on the pitch
As a united fan I am not jealous of VVD
No he’s not hes a fuckin winge.
@@98jf5 come off it
@@98jf5 ofcourse ur not you have maguire
@@dddrums5785 Can't fathom the arrogance of united fans everyone knows VVD has been one of the best centre halfs in world football for the last 5 years. Martinez is now apparently clear after 11 games just keep your bitterness in the bin.
I'm a liverpool fan and i have to admit, gary really nailed it. Hope he's going to do this forever.
Iim liverpool fan to and I watch Gary neville punditry since before even carra joined
I hated Neville from the age of like 7, couldn’t imagine watching Sky Sports without the lizard now🤣
I’m a Liverpool fan and I have been watching Gary Neville since 1886.
I'm a fan of sports and stfu
Well done for not using, as a...
As a Chelsea fan, I can't rate Virgil high enough. First class player and seems like a very humble guy.
He's no 'JT' though is he? He's a good defender but horrendously overhyped.
@@ajfraser7648 how is he overhyped? All I see is people slating him 24/7.
@@ajfraser7648 VVD didn't sleep with his teammates wife though? There's more to football than on the field and Terry proved what a wanker he really is off it.
@@crunch1495 It’s not slating him. There’s a difference between “world class” and “elite”. The media and Liverpool fans talk about him like he’s the greatest premier league defender of all time when he’s had a good 18 months where he barely had to do any defending because of their high energy midfield. You can make an argument for Top 10-15 CB’s but nowhere near the Top 3.
@@mac8669 ex wife get your facts right 😉
This guy got 2nd in the ballon d’or, arguably should have been first, and there’s people on here trying to clown him at this first sign of poor form after a lengthy injury. Just goes to show how revered he is.
U cant blame the injury anymore that was two years ago and he was good last season
@@oisinkearns2788 many players get an injury like that and never play the same again
There’s so many salty haters out there. It’s quite sad
should've won the fuckig ballon d'or?!?! Are you actually mental. This is why you scousers get fucking pummelled outside Lpool with these hot takes.
@@dank420bluntz he was about 6 votes off winning it. It was the closest ballon dor voting in decades. People forget just how good VVD was in 2019. Nobody could get past him he was imperious.
My respect for him increased when he chose Milner. That guy is a heck of a player, doesn't get nearly enough credit.
I always pick people like Milner to take penalties, but professionals and most other people do otherwise.
What do I mean, people like Milner?
I mean, any player who picks a spot and smashes it, and those players are usually defenders or defensive midfielders like Milner, who does exactly that.
Strikers, and other attacking players nearly always try to pass the ball into the net, and/or do daft run ups where they get no power on the ball.
I set up a Sunday league team with my mate around 10 years ago, and every time we had a penalty shoot-out during training (which wasn't that often), me (an unfit right-footed left back, who used to be able to run all day long), and my nephew's best mate (who was a relatively short, but calm and skilful defensive midfielder) were always the best at taking penalties.
Yet still, we had to let the strikers take penalties in actual matches, which makes no sense to me, as we had proven countless times that we as defensive players were better at taking penalties.
@@danielgardecki1046 Milner was a winger and cm most of the time
Milner is so ice cool while taking a penalty , i get chills . The second who is most calm is salah
@@danielgardecki1046 maybe 30% you are right .. a striker would have normally trained his mind and foot to shoots from every part of the attacking half and make sure it gets back of the net .. but midfielders doesny get that many chances so when he does get to pin point a ball he makes it work😅
But in liverpool only there is fabinho who is like opposite of all these and goes for edgy shots .. but cant deny fab is best at taking them in livpool
@@deepp1884 I'm 100% right, and it's always the case.
With England for example I'd pick people like:
James (although he's out now apparently), Trippier, Walker, Maguire, Toney, Coady, Kane, Phillips, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Rice, Henderson, Stones, Shaw, Alexander-Arnold, Dier, Bowen, Saka, Foden etc to take the penalties in the World Cup, roughly in that order if they're in the squad, unless Southgate picks some defenders and defensive midfielders I'm not expecting to be in the squad.
As you can see there's not many attackers I'd have faith in scoring a penalty for England, and the same goes for attackers in general.
I'd probably pick Guehi, White, Tomori, Walker-Peters, Mitchell etc quite highly too if they're in the squad, however I don't remember ever seeing them take a penalty before, plus it's unlikely it'd get to them anyway.
I love the admiration VVD gets from rival fans. As a Liverpool fan, I can say I enjoy Gary as much as you do VVD. Gary is such a pleasant and genuine guy, such a joy to watch him host these!
Gary is top drawer too
Genuine? Like suopporting slavery in quatar?
I didn’t realize we were talking about David Beckham…
@@Mephisto077we have our own evils in the West
Can't imagine Liverpool without him.
I truly believe we would consistently be a mid/bottom table club over the yrs if it wasn't fir our back line but especially Virg..
3 ucl finals in 5yrs is easily bcuz of him, salah and Allison proves all u need to know when pep has been to only 1 final in 6yrs and a billion spent while not able to even beat an average Chelsea side, Liverpool lost to real Madrid not a bad thing at all but also won it.. Allison, Vvd and Salah are the spine, fabinho was critical for the first 2 ucl finals and was amazing but the last one was deff bcuz of the attack and defense... They lose 2/3 to real Madrid only arguably the best team in the world and somehow were destined to win it last year even tho lfc were favorite... It took a misplaced strike that turned into the perfect pass to vicinius Jr to beat them. Had it gone to extra time I think Madrid wouldn't of had the legs for lfc's attack
@@MoejiiOsmanTV I agree with you but come on that chelsea team weren’t average
Imagine all those years they nearly won something, they would just not have been as close LOL
He has been shit all season
Before all the disrespectful comments come in, just remember this man is still unbeaten at Anfield in league games, 5 years and counting what a stat!
Edit: This record was ended at 70 games, all good things must come to an end (sorry for the jinx Virgil lad).
P.S. the amount of salt on this thread just shows how good he is haha with success always comes a pack of haters. He has won every medal available to him at Liverpool ❤
💯
Deep down everybody knows this guy has been the best centre half in world football for the last 5 years. Rival fans just love to kick somebody while they are down
The better you are the more haters you have. Prime example is Messi and Ronaldo.. they have the most Fans but also the most haters.
Just shows how much premier league refs favour Liverpool at Anfield. Otherwise it would be in Europe too
@Bunsen Werner
Ain't that everyone knows he was the best centre back in the world. Just Liverpool fans over hype people too much and say he's the best to ever play ahead of ramos. There's levels and he's no where near ramos. Same with trent.
Ronaldinho might not have had the longevity but pretty much every player of this age group says he was their favourite
The highest ever peak I've ever seen.
Magic trumps longevity and stats in my opinion. Dinho a goat in my books
Eye test > stats
Come @ me
He played so amazingly, every game of his is a highlight reel.
@@elnino3903 Your books don't really matter though, fortunately.
Brilliant Overlap. Virgil is the only Liverpool player that I would have anywhere near Old Trafford. I loved his mention of Sadio Mane.What that guy has gone through and what he is doing for his country is just phenomenal. Gary, get Sadio on please!!
Not Salah if he was free? Lol
Salah, Alisson, Thiago, Konate, none of these guys you would have at OT??
@@LordBagdanoff Salah is selfish. They all have their bad points, but VVD is as perfect as you get. Great personality, great leader, top class performer, good height looks, he got everything.
Cillian Murphy wasn't lying he really doesn't do the whole selfie/fan photo thing 😂 He even sits alone at his local pub back in Cork. It's a good thing.
When Neville said the Maldives are expensive, Virgil just looked and thought nah not when you've got a completely unlimited amount of money
What a humble guy. The last 4/5 yrs having him has been magical. I hope we can turn our season around or pick a trophy up.
VVD is the player that elevated Liverpool from title pretenders to genuine contenders! His first full season with Liverpool is the best individual display I've seen from any defender!
And Ali!
Asides from Ruben Dias, true
Virgil only makes headlines on the pitch. a true professional and a very humble man
Man Utd fan, but VVD is top drawer, absolute rolls royce of a defender
I’ve never heard him referred to him as a Rolls Royce defender. So original and true
@@upthereds9734 you haven’t? He created the term and has been referred to it for the last 3-4 years
@@asianwarrior2193 sarcasm fella
@@asianwarrior2193 yeah because Rio Ferdinand was never referred to as a Rolls Royce defender
@@mrwhite4020 the second vvd has a partner like Rio had with vidic or Terry had with Carvalho city's grip on the league will be over. Konate is supposed to be that guy... Matip on free Transfer has been amazing but let's get real vvd hasn't had a CB partner like Terry did with Carvalho, Rio with vidic and whoever arsenal had I never considered arsenal a defensively great team with kolo toure or Adam's it was always berkhamp and henry and midfield that won them those titles and it was the defense that let them down in the ucl final against barcelona. VVD lost the balon'dor only to the goat messi, hopefully konate comes good Bcuz right now it's him and Allison and a bit of fabinho doing all the hard yards for the past 5yrs in defense making the epl look competitive when really it's a one horse race league without them
Football fans have wanted content like this for years. Seeing players, whether it be from your team or another, talk about their life, is interesting.
Keep it up. X
Humble, likeable, articulate and actually answers the questions! And not a bad footballer either. Proud to be a Liverpool fan :)
What a calm & relaxed individual. I bet his heart rate barely goes above 12. Atb.
The fact people talk him down so fast after some sloppy time (which already seemed to come to an end) just shows how consistent and great he has been those years before that horrible injury. But class is permanent and it looks like Virgil is on the right track back. But even in his form dip he is still probably among the best defenders out there at the moment.
Sloppy time 🤨
@@TheRobbieLaaaaaad my choice of words might be not 100% perfect because English isnt my first language, i think the message is still understandable🤣
The way he shutdown halaand just showed to everyone that class is permanent and bad form is temporary. Halaand was scoring hat tricks for fun before that game, not a goal a game but HAT TRICKS and he didn't get a sniff for atleast 80min. He had 2 real chances the whole game, credit to gomez tok but it was vvd who pocketed him especially stopping that last cross late with his headed clearance.
@@MoejiiOsmanTV he did t shutdown haaland mate,stop the nonsense. He defended well,but djdnt stop haaland. Haaland had like 3 or 4 chances,if you pocket someone/shut them down,they would not have a single chance
@@kevintjuhh070 hahaha yes was just a joke, your point is clear my friend
It’s nice to see the real person and not just the footballer. Seems a very humble and respectable man
This man is pure respect and humble
And hopefully he lifts the world cup with the Netherlands
What a genuinely nice bloke. Brilliant player as well.
Dishwasher to dish winner . VvD is imo in the top 5 CB’s I’ve ever seen! Sensational
He is so humble and grounded. Legend
He was a monster at Southampton. I loved watching him at St Marys
And made at Liverpool
@@Ashpne nah he was made at celtic. he was already world class at southampton. i remember watching him against us and he was immovable.
People forget how good he was before Liverpool. It’s always “yeh by he’s only been doing it for 4 years” yet he was at the top level while playing for Southampton too
@@Ashpne He really wasn't made at Liverpool. I'd argue 2016/17 VVD is the best, carried our team. There's a reason he was the most expensive defender one of the best in the world even at saints.
@@SaintsBill. without klopp he wouldn’t be the player he is today, took him to the next level
As a Celtic fan its really cool seeing how Virgils career has flourished.
I honestly love Virgil Van Dijk, he’s such a humble person and has great character. Even on the field his elegance and presence is unmatched. The best Centre Back in the world ❤️
Our Virg ❤ we love and adore him so much at LFC. The most humble guy, unbelievable professional with the talent to go with it. Transformed my team entirely & I hope we have him for many more years to come. Can’t wait for the full episode
Vvd is honestly the best player I’ve seen play at Anfield live.
He literally has everything real football fans know how good he is, ignore the social media virgins
3:49 gary we’re not letting u forget this moment
What a gentleman. Proper captain, role model material
3:50 that voice break 😂
Thought it was just me who noticed
Hahahaha
Just saw this comment at this exact moment
Not just one of my favourite defenders ever but one of my favourite sports personalities! He’s just a likeable bloke!
Life is mad! Gary is gushing over Virgil having Cillian Murphy’s number but he’s got David Beckham number on speed dial 😂😂😂
Can’t even imagine where we’d be without him, what an insanely good player
Most talented player I've ever seen in the flesh at St. Mary's, was obvious even whilst he was with us he'd become the best defender in the world. Great player.
What a player what a man seems very nice and respectful
what a legend
I never thought Liverpool would have another player as influential as Gerrard. 8s, 9s, 10s every week. the club owe it to him to rebuild their midfield unit because when the team structure works he is flawless.
Stevie a great player but way over rated went missing on a lot of game - we let him away with it because he was from Liverpool and playing in a poor Liverpool side
@@Thailandfc24 gerrard overrated and went missing a lot? you must be a united fan😂
@@AlexLee360 oh sorry we are not allowed bad mouth our god stevie ffs
@@Thailandfc24 kinda crazy to call him overrated tho
@@Flecky he was unbelievable but definitely overrated we talk like he’s one of the best ever to play for the club
Hes such a great example to the younger players. Great leader and role model. Keeps himself very grounded. And he's a peaky blinders fan 😎
Really nice to see Van Dijk call out Mane's story - it truly is amazing how far he's come, how humble he remains and how he continues to contribute to his roots. Both amazing players and we were blessed to have them in the same team!
The Overlap is great because the world needs more Gary Neville.
Was an honour to watch him week in week out when he was at Celtic. Never forget those legendary 70 yard diagonal pings at Celtic park.
Can't wait for the full interview!
One of the best CBs the league has ever seen....2018-2020💯GOAT levels
Spurs fan here. VVD is a phenomenal player, his work rate over the years has been astonishing & he's still humble.
VVD genuinely loves Liverpool
Gotta admire that
Nah he doesn't. He genuinely loves Barcelons 😂😂
@@benx6549 loved knocking them bums out and winning the ucl
What a guy! GOAT defender too
I don't think anyone has ever answered "peter pan" when asked who their favorite superhero is 🤣
I love these overlap series, i'm a huge Liverpool fan and love Vvd, he's such a humble guy and brilliant cb. But i also love Gary, he's the type of guy you'd go down to the pub for a few pints, very straight and funny guy and always speaks the truth even if its against Utd, he'll stick his neck out. Would love him to do Robbo soon, that'll be fun.
Seems like a genuine bloke, these interviews help bring the proper character out.
Imagine saying your favourite tv show is prison break in front of T-Bag😂
Much respect to Vvd. Not a fan of Liverpool but he’s world class!
Excellent young man! Very grounded, very down-to-earth. Wonderful player. I really like the fact that Peter Pan is his favourite super hero.
Absolutely enjoyed that interview 👍🏻
Great human being and a great footballer
You’ve got to love Gary Neville 😂
The interview I was waiting for. I wish he had scored that header in Liverpool vs Nothingham
As United fan it’s annoying that he joined Liverpool cause he has been unreal and always seems like a humble and stand up guy, definitely the kind of person you would want on your team.
At least you got Maguire 😂
Great interview 👌🏻
I’m a Chelsea fan and all I can say is this guy has been incredible for the last few years and should of won the Ballon Dor that year he was robbed
Respect 💯
lost by 1 point
no one cares u helmet
Wasn’t robbed
@@abuansari05 didn’t they give it to that Poisoned dwarf?
What a guy 🍀 was a pleasure watching him at Celtic 💚
He treasures everything, he's a good friend too..
When he joined Liverpool he had an aura that gave the other players so much confidence
God. As a Man United fan you still cannot hate this man. Pure class on and off the pitch
Now that’s a true football fan
I really love his humbleness and great personality 💕
This man is so humble 😢
I’m a man Utd fan but I love Virgil. The man is class, most players these days want attention but he wants his privacy. And he’s a big fan of Cillian Murphy whom I love too.
Love VVD. This was a great interview.
Can’t imagine him as a dishwasher, but it makes sense, with how humble and sensible he comes across.
Cannot imagine LFC without this great stature of a man. Will go down as a legend.
YNWA❤
Dishwasher just another job just as a football player.
@@danielabatabogdanov8586 You live in a delusional world. Dish washer is one of the hardest manual job, he could have been a waiter, checkout staff, housekeeping etc.
@Mujahid Karriem look forward to it!
@@shu550 How is it dilusional if ive been doing it myself for years in a big hotel with hundreds of lunch guests ? Ive been doing housekeeping and its way more taxing on the body. The bending down all the time is very hard. Doing dishes if you are strong can be very relaxing in a sense. I also worked as a waiter which is also taxing because you cary hot plates and walk way more then when doin dishes.
Anyway im not delusional i know what im talking about.
Brilliant interview
ofc as a LFC is great seeing our players answer our questions but it's pretty cool hearing from any player from any team hearing their life stories, likes and dislikes. I think we forget even though they are very fortunate they are just normal like us.
Man City fan but this guy is really really humble
Respect
Awesome content
I still can't believe Ajax/PSV/Feyenoord all passed on Van Dijk when he was at Groningen.
At the time obviously not good enough?
@@kyedouglas482 u don't pass on a tall nigga
If I remember correctly Ajax was interested, but Virgil went with the Celtic option
They all thought he was too lazy, he sometimes has that in his game Bcuz he knows he can turn into world class in a blink of an eye like against city shutting down halaand.
@@kyedouglas482 I can’t speak on how he was at Groningen but as soon as he joined Celtic we all knew he’d go to the very top, I was actually shocked it was Southampton that bought him. Was obvious he was that good.
Go on big Virg. Great player, and comes over a great person too.
Wow super down to earth and smart. So much respect
Man united fan here . Virgil is a monster of a player and a good human being!
He’s out of form this season, but been a monster for 5 seasons at Liverpool, absolutely changed that team.
I think he came back from injury to quick
When you though that you could not like Virgil even more ! Class ❤️
What a humble man.
Maldives is expensive but give over at Neville saying it’s pricey. Man has more money than 99.9% of people & Virgil can afford a holiday there comfortably after working 2 days
Neville has the English working class attitude even when rich. Makes no sense and is infuriating.
Imagine being that rich and thinking anything is expensive.
He has no idea how to enjoy his money.
Another decent interview incoming. This should be a good insight into VVD. Always speaks and conducts himself well and the relaxed style Gary has when doing these interviews, like I said should be a good watch.
What a great bloke 👍
I really enjoyed that interview.
Props to Gary for interviewing players from mid-table teams 🙌 definitely an overlooked player from a lesser-known club 👍
One of the best defenders the premier league has ever seen at minimum
Guy is a beast, made Gary look about 4ft in that interview.
Could tell he was a nice guy. Love that Prison Break is his favourtie show. Top man. Gary is a natural at this now.
Absolutely amazing player.
Used to hate him but he comes across as a nice humble guy on top of being one of the best Cb of his generation so he deserves to be respected by every football fan
You should watch his behind the scenes stuff with Joel Matip... It's hysterical
hate is kind of a strong word
yea! 'i can't disclose this' dijk !! great !! such a joy to watch
He is absolute class. From a United fan. Too bad he will never admit he is United fan now as a Liverpool legend
My respect to Virg became high when he mentioned Sadio's success story 🥰
BIG VIRG! ... and Van Dijk
Really humble guy who is a phenomenal athlete and pro
nice interview .. really enjoyed it
Has Cillian Murphy's number 😂😂😂 the Liverpool connection
Gary just keeps coming through
