Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has demanded his team bounce back from last season's "unacceptable" performances. Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League and failed to secure any trophies after a dismal campaign that saw them lose 12 of their 38 league games and make it only as far as the quarter-finals in both the Champions League and FA Cup.
The team also saw Mohamed Salah leave in a controversial manner, leaving Van Dijk and his teammates with a lot to prove. Dutch defender Van Dijk wants his team to show their commitment and fight for the badge, as they have been fortunate to be playing for Liverpool. Former Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has taken over to bring back the high-intensity football that was once a hallmark of the team.
The team has seen departures and additions in the form of Salah, Konate, Robertson, Jones, Munoz, and Araujo. Van Dijk believes that if the players stay fit and work hard, they can be very successful this season.
