Van Dijk to Be the Captain, Not Only Due to Klopp

DBasia.news – Jurgen Klopp declared the vote from Liverpool squad decided Virgil van Dijk as the third captain of the team.

The Dutch skipper wore the captain ban against Red Star Belgrade on Thursday (25/10) due to Jordan Henderson’s injury and James Milner’s bench situation.

Asked last weekend why Van Dijk led the team in that match, the manager explained: “It was not my decision. That was the players’ decision.”

“I decided Hendo and Milly would stay (captain and vice-captain). That was logical and it would have been like that if we had voted.”

“And then I said for the next two, the players can vote. And now we have the two Dutch guys. The team decided number 3 and 4 would be Virgil and Gini Wijnaldum.”
