Virgil van Dijk did not hide his frustration after Liverpool’s heavy defeat at home against Nottingham Forest (3-0 at Anfield). The Dutch captain recognized an afternoon “disappointing and difficult to accept”fully assuming the collective responsibility of the group. “We’re letting Arne Slot down, that’s for sure, but we’ve also let ourselves down.”he said, emphasizing that champions cannot afford such a level of performance.
Despite the magnitude of the setback, Van Dijk assured that there was no question of giving up. He calls for questioning and solidarity to get out of what he describes as “disaster”. With a new match on Wednesday, the defender refuses any resignation: “I’m not going to go home and cry. I’m going to think about how we can turn this around, and I hope everyone does the same.”. The time has come to react in the Champions League.
