Liverpool: Vinaldom and Jurgen Klopp talk about Van Dyke’s injury ahead...

Liverpool Will host Ajax tonight (Wednesday) and hope to open the home leg of the Champions League on the right foot (unlike last season, when they lost 2-0 to Napoli as the proud European champions), but the English champions are still turbulent after the 2-2 draw against Everton in the derby when brake Virgil Van Dyke will be severely beaten by Jordan Pickford. The goalkeeper did not receive any punishment while the Dutch stopper Tear off the cross strap.

Georginio Vinaldum Valid: “Of course we are upset. The way Pickford got into it, in my opinion, was completely stupid. Maybe he did not want to injure him in this way but he did not care what the consequences were. I think there were a lot of things like that in the games against Everton. They take it too far in derby games. We all know what this game is and we all want to win but they have crossed the line. Rishalison, for example, also committed a disgusting offense on Tiago. That’s what bothers me and most of the players think like me. “

The actors had a hard time digesting what happened: “We are still Russians, first of all, it is a different situation than usual. The way it happened was hard. Everyone still has a really bad feeling. “I think none of the players, from what I talked to the guys, slept after what happened, I took it hard.” The Dutch midfielder was angry that the Topiz players were not punished: “There are accidents in football, sometimes bad luck when you injure another player, but what they did is not acceptable.”

The meaning of Van Dyke: “He is a very important player in our team from the moment he arrived, he had huge games, he is the team leader and important on and off the field. Now we have to show that we can play well without him. we must”.

Klopp Anger as well: “A few days ago something happened that should not happen in a football game. This is neither the first nor the last time and it is still difficult for us to accept it. We can not change it now. I spoke and said what I feel because Virgil is our child. It is hard to believe that the judges ignored what happened.

“Michael Oliver is an excellent referee but he had the best angle and then suddenly the VAR forgot the rules. As a person, I would not like to see Everton players punished, but we all agree that if you do something wrong – you have to face the consequences. “

Who is in excellent shape is Muhammad Salah who started the season with six goals in five Premier League rounds and also scored in the derby. This will be only the third time Liverpool have met Ajax. In the tooth-knocking round of the European Cup in 1967, the Dutch won 1: 5 in the Netherlands and in the rematch at Anfield the teams parted in a 2: 2 draw. The late Johan Cruyff scored three goals in the pair of games. Recall that in its last game at the factory, Klopp’s team surrendered 3: 2 to Atletico Madrid at Anfield in the eighth round of the Champions League final.
