Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) continued his war of words.
Liverpool drew 0-0 in the 17th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester United at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on the 18th.
Liverpool overwhelmed Manchester United at home. They increased their possession from the beginning of the game to take the lead, and Manchester United responded defensively. However, they failed to create a goal. Liverpool only scored one point when it recorded more than 30 shots but failed to open the goal for Manchester United.
After the match, an emotional battle took place. Van Dyck said, "We used to possess balls and created chances. Liverpool was the only team that wanted to win the match. However, it is frustrating that the team failed to win the match. Especially in the match against Manchester United," pointing out Manchester United's plan to stop the bus.
Liverpool had a historic 7-0 victory over Manchester United at home last season. Unlike Liverpool, which cruises throughout this season, Manchester United was on shaky ground, and many expected Manchester United to win. However, as the game ended in a tie, Liverpool seemed to have lost points. Van Dyck expressed regret over this.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane was enraged by Van Dyke's remarks. "Van Dyke is arrogant and arrogant. Van Dyke should know that he is playing for Liverpool, where he has only won one league title in 33 years," Keane said.
"Van Dyke said that only Liverpool played, but Liverpool was the team that rejoiced when I was playing at Anfield. Liverpool had a chance but failed to score in this match. This is their fault," he added, completing the counterattack. 스포츠토토
Van Dijk responded to Keane's comment again. According to The Sun, Van Dijk, who heard Keane's interview, admitted, "I like Keane. I don't care much about what he said. Keane played for Manchester United and that's a given."
"I'm not arrogant. I just said what I felt. Everyone who watched the game will know. We will keep going," he said.
