This is book is all about the main man Van Dijk . He is a footballer for the Netherlands and Liverpool FC. Van Dijk inspires me, as he is a brilliant defender.
The most nesting fact in this book was that he used to play for Celtic, before he played for Southampton.
Good and instering I would recommend it to someone 5-100
very good with lots of interesting things about van dijk
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well-written and informative, and it gave me a great insight into Van Dijk's life and career. I learned a lot about his upbringing, his family, and his journey to becoming a professional footballer. I also appreciated the way the book highlighted Van Dijk's character and values. He is clearly a humble, hardworking, and dedicated individual, and I admire him greatly.
It is a really interesting read with fun information and facts. I liked the stats that the book gave me and all the facts. It was good to read about how he started playing football as a child and progressed. I thought it really cool that all of a sudden he had a growth spurt and shot up to 1.93m tall! When he played for Southampton, they beat Arsenal 4-0. Get in!!
This book is about Facts, Story's and stats.Here are two different facts one of them is estimated £75 million transfer to Liverpool.The other one is he has over 9 million followers on Instagram.

This is one of the most popular books in our school library, and as part of this challenge, I am trying to read books that I wouldn't normally pick up. I was able to read this relatively quickly and I even took the Accelerated Reader quiz that we ask the students to do - I got 100%. I understand why it's popular. The facts and figures are laid out in a way that's easily accessible, and the text is punctuated with illustrations to break it up. As a Liverpool fan, it was nice to learn more about Van Dijk, I may try some of the other books in the series now.
