Seems like Stefan is quite underrated here. Why can't he be named as a world class footballer? I think De Vrij is outstanding.

Doesn't even start in his NT.

Inter defender Stefan de Vrij said the award for best defender in Serie A 2019-20 represents ‘a confirmation of the level I reached in Italy last year’.

The former Lazio defender moved to the Nerazzurri on a free transfer in July 2018 and has continued his development at San Siro.

The 28-year-old was awarded for his performances in Serie A last term, as Inter finished second behind Juventus.

“The championship organiser decides based on how you play during the season,” De Vrij told Voetbal Primeur. “It’s a great honour.

“It’s a confirmation of the level I reached in Italy last year.”

De Vrij stressed he will never become a ‘dirty player’ and is even more proud of his achievement after doing ‘everything my way’.

“I have never been dirty,” he added. “That’s why I really like being picked as the best defender in Serie A.

“I did everything my way and that’s what gives me even more pride.”

I would definitely consider him world class. There's not many other CBs I'd rather have.

Especially as CB in 3 men defense. I don't see much defenders better there, if any.

He got subbed alongside van Dijk, I guess our new great coach a certain F de Boer wanted to give them rest.

The reporter said yesterday that this was his first match for the national team in 2 years!! What a disgrace.

It's because everyone in Holland jerks them self of with the thought we have de Ligt and van Dijk but in all honestly de Vrij has been better certainly the last year. But unfortunately we live in a country where nobody cares about the defense.

What the fuck have you been smoking? How will de Vrij manage to take a position from de Light and van Dijk who plays 4 in the back? Even David Luiz looks good playing in de Vrij:s position at Inter.

Don't get me wrong, he is good at his position but he would have it hard to compete in a 4 back defense. There's a reason he went from someone who was 3rd option defender in a back 4 to the "best" in Serie A at a back 3. Did you all also rate Jonathan as the new Maicon with his crazy stats in the 3-5-2?

Because any good defender plays at a 4 back :lol:

I have to admit I've smoked some good shit but taking in last season where de Ligt and van Dijk weren't as good in form as they where before that. Van Dijk I can imagine he will hold his place being the captain and the leader of the team but de Vrij was better than de Ligt last season. It's just a disgrace that someone like de Vrij played his first game for Holland in 2 years.

For me it's just strange that the best defender of Italy doesn't even start for his national team.

You can't just say de Vrij's defending at 3CB=2CB formation it makes no fucking sense. And you call him the best defender of Serie A because of that prize he got which was some data of his games that one site has been using? It has nothing to do with his defensive abilities as just as Dybala was not the fucking MVP of Serie A.

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.

If he was such a great defender then for sure he could sacrifice his central position and let someone who excel there play there while he could continue be a beast on the left or right. But we both know that's impossible for someone with his caliber. Even the great Godin had problems at the left or right but would be monstrous in a 4 back defense. It's mind blowing how Conte have this formation that only fits ONE fucking centerback of our team, especially last season with Godin and Skriniar.

This formation gives me a lot of emotions. Not emotions that make me happy either. Fucking cunt Conte.

You realize its not his choice to play exclusively there and it's not his idea to not let Skriniar or Godin play in the central spot? Right? I mean, you gotta at least say that you're saying shit for fun every once in a while.

Maybe my wording were wrong. But if the mighty brehme had to point out that then I should edit the post. The point wasn't about HIS choice but more about Conte's choice and meaning he doesn't trust him to play at the sides.

You just make shit up as they swing in your head or did I fuck up?

According to Pedulla, Inter are going to have a meeting with Raiola soon to discuss De Vrij extension.
