Players in the history of Liverpool do not come much better than Virgil van Dijk.

Widely regarded as the best centre-back on the planet, the arrival of the Dutch star from Southampton back in 2018 has been a game-changer for the Merseyside club, which contributed to the Reds winning every trophy possible during the Jurgen Klopp era.

Van Dijk is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the season and everyone at the club is doing their best to ensure the club captain remains at Anfield for another season and beyond.

Despite being the teacher’s pet throughout the German’s time at Liverpool, that did not stop the Dutch star from receiving a telling off from time to time.

The Dutch star is often too good to be told off for something, however, when appearing on The Overlap three years ago, Van Dijk admitted that Klopp did not exclude him when it came to shouting at his players

“Plenty of times,” Van Dijk said told Gary Neville when asked if Klopp ever shouted at him.

When it is needed, he will definitely do it, he shouts a lot.

“What I like is when someone does that, it’s because someone really cares about you or the situation and wants to make sure you improve or get anyone else sharper, so I enjoy that as well in a certain way.”

Neville asked Van Dijk to go into more detail and to even mention a specific time when Klopp had a go at him.

The Liverpool captain detailed the scenario that played out to Neville as the Dutch star stated that Klopp did not like a moment in which the centre-back opted to play a long ball.
