Defender Virgil van Dijk insists that Liverpool has not become a bad team because of his three defeats away from the Champions League.
The Dutch defender believes that the difficulty of their group against Paris Saint-Germain, which they lost 2-1 in France Wednesday, has almost been forgotten. Napoli and the Red Star of Belgrade have been forgotten to highlight their European problems on the road.
Liverpool lost three group matches for the first time, forcing them to beat Napoli 1-0 or two goals in their last game to advance to the round of 16.
And while who is described as the hopes of the club hanging by a wireVan Dijk has a different point of view.
"We do not have to forget that we played against Naples, one of the best teams in Europe; PSG, one of the favorites to win the Champions League; and obviously the match in Belgrade was not good enough, "he said.
"We do not need to (think) we're a *** team, basically. It can happen. But what's frustrating is how we conceded the goals and then it's always hard to come back.
"I do not know if there is an explanation for this at the moment because I can not think of one, otherwise we should have used it already.
"But now we have to look to the future and the only option for us to qualify is to win against Naples, no matter the outcome."
Van Dijk criticized the world-clbad PSG players who unnecessarily resort to theatricality and play.
Neymar was the main manager of the Parc des Princes, while the Brazilian international produced clbad moments, including the beginning and the end of the counterattack that led PSG to a 2-0 lead, but he spent much more time throwing himself on the ground. and ride.
"Of course, these are world clbad players, but I do not think the game needs them at times," the Dutchman added.
"Sometimes they get hit and they will fall and sometimes I think it's too easy and I'm so frustrated. It is important to keep a cool head but …
"Every time we made a mistake, they all came to the referee to get us a yellow card. We should do the same thing from time to time and I think that in the second half, we did it better. This is not the type of game I like.
"We always respect them as they are as players because they are world clbad players, but it's not really necessary sometimes.
"But they scored two goals, we lost and that's all."
Liverpool must now make a monumental effort at Anfield to defeat his Serie A opponent Napoli next month.
It will not be the first time they have to do things the hard way and one loss to Anfield – the September EFL Cup loss to Chelsea – since January will give them confidence.
"We know we only have one chance left and we all want to grab it. We will do everything possible, "said Van Dijk.
"We need the help of everyone. We need all the fans, we need everyone who comes to support us that night to make it a special night for all of us.
"We know it will be difficult – Napoli is a fantastic team with great players, a great manager – but we have to keep believing in ourselves.
