Van Dijk emphasized that moments like Alexander-Arnold's goal should not be taken for granted. He also stated that Alexander-Arnold's future decisions are personal and should not affect how he is remembered at the club.
"Alexander-Arnold is a Liverpool player, and he's important for our team. He's been a fantastic player since I joined the club, and there are many good things he will be remembered for, regardless of what happens in the future," Van Dijk said.
Fans have expressed disappointment and criticism towards Alexander-Arnold, but Van Dijk encouraged them to focus on appreciating his contributions while he is still with the team.
"We don't know what will happen in the future, and there's a lot of noise around Alexander-Arnold. However, when he scores a big goal, he deserves applause for stepping up in that moment and enjoying it," Van Dijk said.
"These moments shouldn't be taken for granted, as they give us the opportunity to win games. Alexander-Arnold deserves to be appreciated for his contributions, and we should focus on the present moment," Van Dijk added.
