Virgil van Dijk is definitely happy with Liverpool’s performance in the match against Salzburg on Tuesday, ending with 2-0 triumph.
He believes that Liverpool’s performance reflects the quality of the team and club.
“I think it says a lot about the quality we have, first of all,” the defender stated.
“I think it’s tough to come here. It’s their chance of a lifetime to go through to the knockout stages.
“We knew what to expect, especially in the beginning, it was tough. They’re a very good side. They have good players, a lot of pressure on the ball, a lot of hard work, a lot of desire.
“We had to manage that and deal with it and I think we did that pretty well.”
Currently, Liverpool is 8 points ahead of Leicester City when it comes to the Premier League. However, Van Dijk states that the Liverpool team is now focused on themselves.
“We’re going to think about ourselves, not about the rest. We are not even halfway through,” he said.
“For us now it was important to give everything [against Salzburg]. We did that, we go through to the knockout stages and then we’ll focus on Watford on the weekend, and after that we go to Qatar [for the FIFA Club World Cup].
