Tiger Fight 3/0 English Premier League, Liverpool lost 0-0 to Fulham. After the game, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was interviewed by Sky Sports.
Virgil, today Liverpool missed the chance to lead by 14 points in the Premier League standings. What do you think Liverpool are not doing well enough?
Yes, obviously, in terms of the goals we conceded in the first half, it was very bad. I don't think the goals conceded were necessary in the end. And then it's clear that you're in for a very tough fight. But overall, the first half was very poor for the whole team.
Like I said, we tried everything in the second half, but if you concede three goals in the first half, it's very difficult to win the game.
What do you think was the reason for the poor first half? Did Fulham surprise you?
Not surprising at all. As I've mentioned before, Fulham's home stadium has always been difficult to beat. And they showed a lot of intensity. It was clear that we scored a beautiful goal to make it 1-0.
Obviously, I think there were some individual mistakes that made the difference and they took their chances and scored. Obviously, this is the disappointment of today.
