New captain of Liverpool, Virgil Van Dijk has been one of the Reds’ executives since his arrival in January 2018. Impressive in his authority and serenity, the Batavian defender is also a very clean defender in his interventions. As proof, he received the first red card of his career with the residents of Anfield in the Premier League against Newcastle on August 27 (1-2).
Surprised by this sanction, the former Celtic Glasgow and Southampton player indulged in inappropriate behavior with the referee of the match, going so far as to insult him according to the refereeing body. This Friday, the 32-year-old player must take responsibility for his words and was sentenced to an additional match suspension, according to information from the English press. He will miss the home game against Wolverhampton next Saturday and will also have to pay a fine of 116,000 euros.
