Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has issued a rallying cry to his teammates, stressing that the fight to defend their title will be far from straightforward. The towering Dutch defender acknowledged that every opponent will be eager to topple them, meaning the Reds must push themselves beyond their current limits if they want to stay at the top.
Van Dijk emphasised that winning a title is one challenge, but keeping hold of it requires even more consistency, hunger, and focus throughout the season. He urged the squad to maintain high standards in every match, warning that complacency could quickly derail their ambitions.
As Liverpool prepares for the battles ahead, Van Dijk’s words serve as both a caution and a motivation — reminding the team that to make history, they’ll have to raise their game to a whole new level.
