In the second round of the Champions League, Liverpool lost 0-1 away to Galatasaray. After the game, Van Dijk was interviewed by Amazon Prime.
Talking about whether Galatasaray deserves this victory
"It's hard to say, obviously, they got a penalty, and created several opportunities through our mistakes when we were in possession, such as conceding the ball when we shouldn't have lost the ball, and we were a little relaxed. Losing was obviously disappointing, especially after that bad game on the weekend, so we had to accept the result, adjust our form quickly, and prepare for the next game."
Talking about conceding the ball
"We did take some risks in possession, we tried to find open players in the midfield, which happened frequently in the first half, and we broke through many times to the opponent's last line of defense, maybe We need to do better in this. But sometimes we make the wrong decisions and let the opponent strike back and create threats, which is the frustrating part. Losing always feels bad, we hope to change quickly and win games. Obviously, we performed very well at the beginning of the season, and now we lost two games in a row feels unpleasant. But I’ve been playing for a long time, and it’s important to keep working hard and work hard. ”
Talking about how far Liverpool is now dominant in the last season
"I think we have shown that dominance in many games this season, but unfortunately, we have failed to Keep it all over the game. When new players come to a new environment, a new team, and face new requirements, it is completely normal to take time to adapt. Obviously, the outside world won’t give you too much time now, so you have to stay strong and learn psychologically. Everyone sometimes gets immersed in their own world, so we have to keep working hard, keep improving, persevere, and be united. This is what I have been doing since I came to Liverpool. We had a great last season and had a good start to this season. Obviously, it doesn’t feel good to lose two games in a row, which is also what we need to improve. ”
Talk about staying calm
"I hate losing, but I shouldn't panic. It really needs improvement. I think that compared to the performance of the game on the weekend, we showed a little bit of survival and fighting spirit, but it's not difficult, because the performance on the weekend is really bad. Now we have to seize the opportunity to avoid giving away penalty kicks, and don't make some stupid mistakes. It's easy to say these things, but it's hard to actually achieve them. It's a process, and we have to keep moving forward. The arrival of new players is not the key. Sometimes we pay too much attention to this, and running-in takes time. We will continue to work hard, stay united and welcome the next game. This is the only thing we can focus on."
