Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has revealed who the only Liverpool player he has watched successfully win the ball from Virgil van Dijk in training is.
The Dutch defender was unstoppable last season and was astonishingly only dribbled past once in a total of 56 appearances for club and country.
It was such incredible form at the heart of the Reds defence that led to him picking up the PFA Players' Player of the Year award in April before winning the Champions League in June.
Manchester City's Leroy Sane was the only player who managed to move away from the imperious 28-year-old during Holland's 2-2 draw with Germany in November.
And according to Fabinho the centre-half is equally hard to dispossess.
Speaking to De Sola in Brazil, Fabinho admitted was the only player he saw win the ball from Van Dijk .
The former Monaco man said: "I'm usually on his team, thank God.
"The only guy I've ever seen winning a ball from him on training was Firmino. Only once."
Having been omitted from Brazil's Copa America winning squad, Fabinho was able to return to Melwood for pre-season training last week.
The 25-year-old will likely play a part as Jurgen Klopp's side take on Tranmere Rovers this Thursday.
