Why Liverpool's Van Dijk selected these players?

Van Dijk chose Man City's Ederson as his team goalkeeper as he believes that he is an outstanding goalkeeper and is the best of the rest apart from Alisson Ramses Becker. When it comes to Man City's Aymeric Laporte, he has been showing how important he is to his team and Van Dijk thinks he is an outstanding defender. 

Moving to Kevin de Bruyne on the midfield, Van Dijk called him a good human being first and then an outstanding player, for whom he has nothing but immense respect. de Bruyne will be partnered by Son Heung-Min because he is quick, strong and makes life extremely difficult for a defender. Van Dijk hailed the Spurs star's finishing abilities with either foot as his USP.

Lastly, Van Dijk picked Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over Sergio Aguero on his overall performances in the 2019-20 season and hailed his partnership with Alexandre Lacazette at the front for the North London club.
