Alan Shearer's harsh opinions about Virgil Van Dijk following controversial comments

Virgil Van Dijk is a player who has certainly given people something to talk about. One of the things that undoubtedly characterises the Liverpool captain has been his attitude and leadership. The Dutchman is not only an example for his teammates at Anfield but also in the Netherlands. Recently, the player scored a goal against Greece which gave his team the victory seeking the pass to Euro 2024

Despite not having an easy season, Van Dijk wants to continue to do things well and get important results. After his suspension, the player has not had the expected minutes. Faced with this, Klopp has opted to make multiple rotations to his team. Undoubtedly, the rotation against Union Saint-Gilloise did not give the desired results but the victory was finally achieved.

Against Brighton, the German opted to send his trusted players. Nevertheless, they were unable to score the 3 points in their visit to The Seagulls. With the FIFA break serving as a distraction for the players, this weekend the situation has to change with the Liverpool team facing Everton in the Merseyside Derby. Despite the fact that Everton is not going through a great moment, more than 3 points are at stake in this match.

One of Van Dijk's constant criticisms of Liverpool's schedule has been that the players don't have time to rest, even the player mentioned that footballers are not machines. To be sure, opinions on Virgil's comments were mixed. However, not everyone took it very well. Alan Shearer expressed his feelings after the player's comments.
