Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has revealed what Jurgen Klopp had to say to the Reds at halftime against Villarreal. The second half was beautiful.
“Play football! Play like Liverpool, you guys already know because you’ve been doing it all season!! Bring the ball forward! move more Move the ball more accurately. Take it to the last area!! That’s what Klopp told us at half-time,” Van Dijk told BT Sport.
“We have to use speed to move the ball. Optimized running speed We have to show our opponents how brave we are to invade their final ground. And create chances to really score, otherwise their enthusiasm will immediately surpass us.”
“However, I would like to commend Luis Diaz for his role in turning the game over the last 45 minutes because his performance has been absolutely phenomenal.
“He had the courage to face one vs one marker and was able to win almost every beat. He didn’t care who he had to face. The only thing that needs to be done is to make it through successfully.”
“I’m very impressed with this courage, assuming if Diaz loses the ball, he’ll try to go back and get it back. We’ve seen him do that fearlessly over and over again. And when any defender has to face an offensive like this It would be difficult to protect even me.”
