Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk explains why he called a players’ meeting following their defeat by Manchester United on Sunday but insisted it was not a “crisis” summit.
Sunday’s 2-1 loss to United at Anfield was Liverpool’s fourth straight defeat, which left the Reds joint third in the Premier League, four points behind leaders Arsenal.
Van Dijk told Uncovered Ug news reporters, “On Monday, everyone was sad because we lost to United at home. We haven’t lost many games at home during my time at Liverpool.”

“Obviously, we also had a proper debrief with the manager, but we also had a separate one as players. I wanted to say some things. It’s not something I do after every game. Let’s keep it that way.”
Liverpool ended their losing run on Wednesday with an emphatic 5-1 win at German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
“The only way to get out of a situation like that is to stay together, keep your mind on the task ahead, try to improve, keep the confidence, and embrace the moment. They are all things that are easier to say than actually do. But if you want to get out of it, you have to do it,” said Van Dijk, speaking after the win in Germany.
In conclusion, Liverpool’s next Premier League game is at Brentford on Saturday at 20:00 BST, or 10:00PM.
