The captain of Liverpool, Virgil Van Dijk (33 years old), commented on the situation of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 26 -year -old defender contract expires at the end of the season and seems to leave the club as a free contract player. Yesterday he entered as a reserve and brought the victory of the “cormorants” on the move from Leicester.
“We forget that we are talking about a human being. Everyone has an opinion of what is happening. There is a lot of valum around him and some might say that it is his fault, but this is part of life today,” said Van Dijk, quoted by Sportal.bg.
Virgil Van Dijk, about Trent Alexander-Arnold's situation
“So, when you score an important goal like this, it deserves greetings for what he has done and enjoying it, because, whether or left, these are moments you don't have to take good. I think it was worth this moment,” he added.
Asked if he spoke to Alexander-Arnold about his future, Van Dijk replied: “I think it is under huge pressure. So there is no point in putting it under even more pressure.”
Liverpool's players will have two free days and will resume workouts Wednesday. They can become champions on Sunday, when they will receive the visit of Tottenham. Van Dijk praised on Arne Slot for his first season at the club.
“We must not forget that last year we fought for the title until April, but we could not reach the end. This year we found a new level in terms of Constanta.
The technical staff deserves many praises. To come from the Netherlands, to adapt so quickly, to improve many of the players, to give them confidence in the style of play and this without pre-Sezon training, without new transfers … ”, said the defender about his countrymen Arne Slot and his staff.
