Obsessed’ – Fans Baffled as Rio Ferdinand Criticizes Virgil van Dijk’s Hair During Everton vs Liverpool Clash
Football fans were left stunned and amused after Rio Ferdinand took an unexpected swipe at Virgil van Dijk’s hair during Liverpool’s clash with Everton. The Merseyside derby, which ended in a tense battle, took an unusual turn in the commentary box as Ferdinand seemingly fixated on the Dutch defender’s hairstyle.
The Manchester United legend, known for his strong opinions, made remarks about Van Dijk’s slicked-back hairdo, questioning whether the Liverpool captain was spending too much time perfecting his look instead of focusing on his performance.
Ferdinand’s comments sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with fans branding him “obsessed” and accusing him of nitpicking. Many were baffled, suggesting the criticism was unnecessary, especially given Van Dijk’s commanding display in defense.
“Rio chatting about hair? Didn’t he have blonde tips back in the day?” one fan joked on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote, “Van Dijk’s hair is immaculate, why’s Rio pressed about it?”
While some saw the comments as light-hearted banter, others felt Ferdinand’s focus should have stayed on the football. Van Dijk, known for his composed defending and leadership, appeared unbothered on the pitch as Liverpool secured a vital result in their Premier League title chase.
This is not the first time Ferdinand’s opinions have divided fans, but targeting a player’s hairstyle during a high-stakes derby seemed to cross the line for many. Regardless, the debate added a humorous subplot to an otherwise tense match.
As fans continue to discuss the hair saga, Van Dijk remains focused on leading Liverpool’s charge, proving that style and substance can indeed go hand in hand.
