In this fictional story, cameras caught a heated exchange between Slot and Van Dijk on the touchline, but no one knew what was said until now. Van Dijk admits the manager’s comments left him “hurt, shocked, and very disappointed.”
“I know I made a big mistake, but what Arne said crossed the line. There are things a manager should never say to a player,” Van Dijk explained.
Fictional sources claim Slot didn’t just criticize the error that led to Sunderland’s equalizer — he allegedly attacked Van Dijk personally. Witnesses say Slot questioned his leadership, commitment, and even suggested he was “holding the team back,” leaving the dressing room stunned.
Van Dijk reportedly walked away without reacting, but later told teammates he had “never been spoken to like that” in his career.
The fictional Liverpool squad is now divided:
- Some think Slot went too far
- Others blame Van Dijk for the costly mistake
- The atmosphere around the team is tense
With Slot already facing pressure due to mixed results, this clash with his captain could become a major problem.
In this fictional storyline, the Sunderland draw didn’t just cost Liverpool points — it created a serious rift between Slot and Van Dijk, leaving fans wondering what happens next.
