Virgil van Dijk had a message for every single Liverpool fan after Sunday’s Premier League title win on Sunday : Celebrate and enjoy yourself.
“First and foremost, it's been an amazing Premier League season for us,” the defender said.
I speak about everyone who is connected to Liverpool can celebrate and enjoy because that is what you should do as well.
“Obviously I think, in my opinion, it is the hardest league in the world to win so when it is a glorious day in terms of the atmosphere, the weather and a good opponent.
It was incredible to be a part of and I think the manager touched on it already on the pitch that we have now two titles in five years, so that is a big achievement in my opinion.”
Sunday’s win means Van Dijk joins the parthenon of legendary Premier League-winning captains and is the first Dutch member of that exclusive club that features the likes of Roy Keane, John Terry and Vincent Kompany.
But he’ll have to wait a few more weeks before lifting the Premier League trophy on the final day of the season.
I am very happy that I can lift the trophy in front of our beautiful fans and I think I will be very emotional,” said Van Dijk.
“Even today, it was an emotional day with me and my family because the whole week was quite slow, it takes ages before matchday and I think every Liverpool fan across the world thinks that and then today is matchday, you see so many fans already in red, outside, getting ready from early on and you just want to get the job done.”
Liverpool’s success is made even more remarkable given Slot has led the Reds to the title in his first season as head coach, less than 12 months after the team came up short in Jurgen Klopp ’s emotional swansong campaign.
