Virgil van Dijk has shared his perspective ahead of a reunion with a former teammate now playing for Real Madrid. The Liverpool captain spoke highly of the player’s talent and expressed gratitude for the time they shared on the pitch.
However, van Dijk was clear that sentiment will not influence the competitive nature of the match. He stressed that while respect remains, his team will do everything possible to make life difficult for their former colleague once the game begins.
This mindset reflects Liverpool’s commitment to maintaining high standards and approach every opponent with maximum intensity, regardless of prior relationships.
