Van Dijk showcases ultimate winning mentality with brilliant quote

Virgil van Dijk was handed the Player of the Match award on TNT Sports due to his performance against Crystal Palace and spoke with them afterwards.

Asked about the Reds having the best defensive record in the league, our captain said: “We keep going, we keep working and we’re never satisfied as we can always improve.

“I think today as well, we needed Ali twice, three times maybe and that’s what we try to avoid.”

It shows the elite mentality from the Dutchman that even after winning a game that kept us at the top and meant we have the best defensive record in the division, he knows we can still improve.

Given the injury to Alisson at Selhurst Park too, now the job is even more important to keep the ball and the pressure away from our goalkeepers – something the skipper takes as his personal mission.
