Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk has urged his team to be ready against Bayern Munich for Wednesday’s clash at the Allianz Arena. Liverpool drew the first leg 0-0 at Anfield and many have predicted that Jurgen Klopp’s side could go out of the Champions League after the second leg. Liverpool haven’t won a single away game this Champions League so far. They even lost a match against Red Star Belgrade.
Van Dijk believes that the match against Bayern Munich is a ‘big fight’ and his teammates should be ready for it. The Dutchman said, “It is going to be an exciting tie. They played very well here, kept it tight especially at the back and obviously showed us a lot of respect. They changed a bit the way they played I think, so we need to be up for a big fight because they are probably going to come all in, especially in the beginning. It is going to be tough and we need to do better than we did in the last away games in the Champions League. The group stage games were not as good as we wanted but we got through to the knockout phase. Now we have a 0-0 and we want to do everything that is possible to get through. We know it is going to be a very hard and tough game.
Sometimes you have to know how to manage games because at times it is going to be very hard and we will need to be patient, ready for what is coming. There will be times when it is going to be very tough and we are going to be under pressure because they have a lot of quality and they showed that. But we will definitely have our own moments because of the quality we have as well. Everyone can see how tough it is already in the Champions League. The situation is we have a 0-0 to start with and hopefully we can get the job done.”
