Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk says he has no doubts about the quality of his teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold after defeating Rangers in the Champions League.

Van Dijk said: “We know what quality he has and he showed it again against Rangers. But I’ve been in the UK for eight or nine years and everyone here praises a player very highly and then let him fall as hard as he can. “

“This is something we, as players, have to deal with. So that he continues to work, not only him, but also other players, and showing a reaction is what we all need. For that, I think it’s important that we support him. , coach, club and fans.

He added: “No matter what the outside world has to say about him, we always support each other and know that we are struggling to get back to the consistency that we have always shown over the past two years. We will achieve this. I’m sure we’ll all get there.”
