Virgil van Dijk Reflects on Arsenal Draw and Contract Situation

Following Liverpool’s draw with Arsenal, captain Virgil van Dijk shared his thoughts with Sky Sports, stating: “Listen, it is a very tough place to come. They have created a solid team and they make it difficult for everyone. To come back twice is a good thing. We take the point and we move on.” Addressing the goals conceded from set-pieces, van Dijk remarked: “They are very solid in set-pieces and I think when I was marked by [Thomas] Partey, he only looked at me. It was a good flick from Lucho [Diaz]. “I try to just be important in every set-piece that we have, and I try to not concede like we did so that is very disappointing.”” Regarding the match outcome, he commented: “You play here in London, they have the fans behind them and they created some momentum. You have to be ready to fight because you will have some tough moments. One point and we take it.”” Concerning his contract status, van Dijk stated: “I’m very calm. Let’s see what happens towards the end of the season. I’m enjoying my football, physically and mentally. “Keep enjoying the game because it is a beautiful game that we play and I play.””
