van Dijk's words that encourage the fans and give hope of returning to the Champions League

Last season was disappointing for all Liverpool fans, as the team went from being one of the best in the Premier League and winning the Champions League a couple of years ago, to being out of the next edition of Europe's most important club tournament. That is why the team's leaders like Virgil van Dijk have come out to show their faces after the failure.

Virgil van Dijk is one of the best defenders in the world, but he is aware that on a personal and collective level, the 2022-2023 season was not the best of his career. The proof of this is that Liverpool was the team that conceded the most goals in the Premier League of the top five leagues in the table, which resulted in the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.

In view of this, the Dutch central defender has come out to try to motivate the Anfield fans and the rest of his teammates for the next campaign, in which Liverpool will play in the Europa League with the obligation to be one of the leading teams in the tournament, as winning the trophy would also give them a direct place in the next Champions League. In addition, with the departure of several players who have performed well for the team in past years, van Dijk knows that even he is not guaranteed a place.

Virgil van Dijk is currently with the Netherlands national team, with whom he will play for third place in the UEFA Nations League against Italy. Before that match, van Dijk assured that he is in excellent physical shape, fully recovered from injuries and took the opportunity to send a message to all the fans at Anfield.

van Dijk's words that thrilled the fans

Virgil van Dijk assured that although the previous season was a failure, he is very motivated to start the next campaign with Liverpool, as he believes that the additions that Jürgen Klopp and the board have in mind can return them to the level they want to compete to win titles. He also assured that he is still one of the most important players in the team, so he will give everything for the Reds to return to the Champions League as soon as possible.
