Van Dijk blasts ex-players who 'try to get us down'
Virgil van Dijk hit out at ex-football players who "try and get us down" after Liverpool's 2-1 win over Ajax in their Champions League tie in Anfield. The Liverpool defender told BT Sport: "Yeah, not listening to the outside world, that's the most important thing. "It's funny sometimes you know because there is a lot of ex-football players who know exactly what we go through but they say a lot of things to try and get us down. "We know that last week was unacceptable, very bad and we try to make it right. "This is what I said before, it is a step in the right direction but we cannot get carried away because we play so many games. Now it is time to focus on the national teams or to get a break for a little bit and crack on."
