I'm not saying it isn't a difference for him to play in 3CB or 2CB formation. The guy grew up in a 2CB formation so it's not like he doesn't know how to play in it. Is he better in a 3CB formation? Yes indeed but that doesn't mean he can't play there and automatically be worse then other defenders. The fact remains that it's a disgrace that this guy played his first match for Holland in 2 years and de Ligt wasn't his usually self last year and that de Vrij should have given a chance to play instead of him.
Not only because of the stats but because he was the best defender last year not only by stats. He has been good since his arrival and amazing since he plays in a 3CB formation. I'm not arguing he is better then de Ligt or van Dijk overall, I'm arguing that if you're the best defender in the Serie A whether it be according to the stats or my opinion you should be given a chance in your National team and not wait 2 years to be a starter.
