Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté commented on playing together with his defensive partner Virgil van Dijk.
“Regarding Virgil, we know how wonderful he is, how special he is, and what he has done over many years. I have learned a lot from him. He gave me a lot of advice when I joined the club. As I have already said, one day I will become better than him, so I work hard every day to achieve that.
It’s crazy how many “Player of the Match” awards I could have gotten this season. It’s great to play with Virgil because he is a very good player, but sometimes the people who watch the game think that only Virgil is playing. No, I play too. I also had a great game, but they only see him because it’s Virgil. I don’t envy him, but watch the game and it will tell you the truth,” Konaté’s words are quoted by Sky Sports.
