The clip titled 'the difference' highlights the different approaches taken by Van Dijk and Terry during their in-game moments.
The video shows the Liverpool star blocking a pass, forcing the attacker (Moussa Sissoko) to shoot on his weak foot.
However, the Chelsea legend takes a different method as he attempts to close down the forward who eventually picks out his teammate for a goal.
The footage of Van Dijk and Terry defending got fans talking online.
One Twitter user wrote: "And Van Dijk defended it alone while Terry had someone with him."
A second tweeted: "Already Terry's posture puts him in an awkward position. Just see the difference between the way Van Dijk runs back and Terry's."
A third added: "The video is about the two defender's positioning. Van Dijk blocks the passing lane off to Son and forces Sissoko to hurry his shot."
Van Dijk is regarded as one of the best centre-backs in Premier League history following his performances for Liverpool, not to mention his showing at Southampton.
And when naming the greatest centre-backs of the Premier League era, he mentioned Terry - but named Rio Ferdinand as the best.
He opted for Ferdinand, Vincent Kompany, Jaap Stam, Terry and Sami Hyypia.
