Probably the best Serie A defender in his prime, De Vrij is a safe house at the back, providing great foundation for what I think was the best defensive unit in Europe, consisting of him, Skriniar, and Bastoni, forming a solid three at the back system. He's somewhat a bit overlooked, especially in the national team. I mean who could blame him? Van Dijk's presence is overwhelming for any players that played alongside him, even as good as De Vrij. But there's no denying his quality and reading of the game, that was such in a high level, even going back in his Lazio's time. He's also very competent in the build up, courtesy of his high quality passing. De Vrij is a very competent yet somewhat underrated CB.
