  "account": "Virgil van Dijk has hinted that he plans to continue playing for the Dutch national team until the Euro 2028 championship in two years' time. The Liverpool captain earned his 100th cap to date for the Netherlands in their recent 2-1 defeat of Serbia in the UEFA Nations League. At 35 years old, Van Dijk is set to compete in his fourth major tournament for his country in the summer, with the final of Euro 2028 taking place on the day following his 37th birthday. Following his monumental 100th appearance, Van Dijk expressed his intent to keep going for the Netherlands if his body is up to the challenge. He stated, \"For me, it won’t stop at 100. I am not someone who looks too far ahead. You have to take very good care of yourself and do everything you can to be there every time.\" Van Dijk remains in good form, and he emphasizes the importance of performing well both on and off the pitch. His exceptional durability is a testament to his worth, as he has logged over 7,000 minutes for club and country since August 2025 while rarely missing a game.",
