Virgil van Dijk

Scum fans.

I can't think of anything grimmer than living permanently in a hotel. Maureen will be gone in no time. When will depend on who works out fastest that he can't win the prem for them.
Anyway I digress. I'm looking forward to seeing if big Virgil can make a difference to our overall defending against the bigger teams in the big moments of those games.

Too much of a bigshot is he ? Transfer fee gone to his head ?

Virgil, firstly, welcome to Liverpool Football Club…

Thank you very much.

How does it feel to have signed for Liverpool?

Well, fantastic obviously. I am happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.

Why are Liverpool the right club for you, what attracted you to the club?

I think the most important thing is the size of the club, the culture of the club, the players, the manager and obviously the fans, who make the club this special. With the history at the club and everything around it – even the training ground and stuff – it is just a perfect, perfect match for me, and for my family as well.

How important a factor was the chance to work with Jürgen Klopp in your decision?

Everybody obviously from a Liverpool perspective knows how he is; how lively he is, how he can make players better and give them confidence as well. It just suits me as well. I think he can make me a better player and I am just looking forward to working with him.

Finally someone who won’t disappear into Klopp’s armpit when he hugs them.

It sounds like he's looking to develop himself while the club develops too. It may explain why he chose us over City and Chelsea. We're the right fit for him, as he says. It's rare for a player to think like that. He could've gone for instant success with City, and been just a mere cog. Yet, when you look at how he describes himself, we lack those attributes, so he sees how he fits in. And with Klopp trying to elevate us into a consistent, elite club, it gives VVD time to adapt to it all.

How would you describe yourself as a defender?

I am vocal, I am obviously pretty tall, I like to command the defensive line and have the ball as well. I like to play out from the back and be comfortable on the ball. Obviously there is a lot of improvement still to come, but I think the manager can help me with that.

You mention improvement; you are only 26, so there is plenty of time for you to develop further…

Yes, hopefully. I think this is the right time for me to be here and to develop all sorts of aspects of my game. I am looking forward to doing that, that’s the main thing.

Anfield on a Champions League night is a pretty special place; how much are you looking forward to playing in that competition?

Yes, a lot. Obviously I have played in the Champions League with Celtic and that was very special as well. Liverpool is up there as well with the atmosphere and the fans. I am just looking forward to everything! Everything is perfect; the stadium, the training ground, the facilities and the people who work at the club, the people and the city, the fans. It is just the perfect place for me to be, and for my family to be as well.

You’ve signed a long-term deal with the club. What do you hope to achieve over the course of that contract?

To win trophies. Every player wants to win trophies and, with the squad we have and the progress the club is making, I think we are very close to it. Obviously we still need to do it. We will see what the future brings.
