Virgil van Dijk has revealed the secret behind the incredible stat which showed no player dribbled past him in the entire Premier League campaign.
Van Dijk enjoyed an incredible season on Merseyside as he became the first defender since John Terry to be named PFA Player of the Year.
He helped the Reds to within a point of a first title since 1990 but they were pipped at the post by Manchester City, despite losing just once all term.
But Liverpool did taste success on the continent, beating Tottenham in the Champions League final after overturning a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in the semis.
And the Dutchman believes his education on the streets of the Netherlands helped him become a European champion - and contributed to THAT statistic.
He told Unisport: "I have had the benefit of a lot of one-v-ones by playing a lot on the streets.
"I played in a lot of five-a-side games when I was younger and I loved to attack in those days as well, so you got a bit of a feeling how attackers might think in certain situations.
"Obviously that comes with experience in my professional career too, but I think if you want to progress as a defender or an attacker then just keep playing in the streets with your friends."
Van Dijk also offered some advice to youngsters coming through.
"The best advice I've got is to stay humble, keep working hard and enjoy every bit of the way because before you know it, it is all going to be over and you do not want to have any regrets," he added.
"That is the most important thing I would tell young players now because that is the most important thing that is staying in my mind."
