The Netherlands suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Italy in the Nations League third-place play-off.
Virgil van Dijk played the entirety of the game and many fans are unhappy with the Liverpool defender's performance.
In particular, his defending for the Chiesa goal — he failed to commit as the Italian scored — has been criticised.
The FTBL Index: "Chiesa absolutely smoked Van Dijk in that one-on-one showdown! Van Dijk's lost a step in his speed game, and it showed."
Ahead of the Curve: "The most overrated defender of all time, Virgil Van Dijk."
Sm: "Van Dijk just let Chiesa have all the space in the world to take the shot. Didn't even bother trying to block the shot."
Noodle Vini: "I have never in my life heard anyone say: 'What a tackle from Virgil Van Dijk'."
LLS: "Does Van Dijk realise he’s allowed to slide tackle?"
Chuck Bass: "Van Dijk is hilarious look at the space he gives Chiesa. Aura defending doesn’t work in 2023 anymore big bro"
Akay: "Van Dijk is so overrated!. Like what does he even do apart from giving attackers space rather than going at them."
Van Dijk was slammed earlier this week for his performance in the Netherlands' defeat to Croatia in the semi-final.
