Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk shared his thoughts on the team’s defensive problems following the defeat in the 12th round of the English Championship against Nottingham (0:3).
Virgil van Dijk, Getty Images’We are conceding too many easy goals. We conceded again from a set piece. Maybe their player was in front of Alisson, but the goal was counted, and they led 1—0. We weren’t good enough in terms of duels, challenges, and battles, and we rushed a lot. It’s a very difficult situation.
After conceding, there was nervousness, although it wasn’t there before. We rushed, and that is human in a difficult moment. We won’t find a way out just by talking about it. A lot of hard work is required. Everyone on the team must also take responsibility. Football is a team game, and everyone must be accountable. We have to take this on the chin and digest it. We must work doggedly. We must continue,' Van Dijk told BBC.
