Van Dijk: We want to win evertyhing

-

– Virgil van Dijk (right) expects Liverpool to be a threat for anyone in four competitio­ns this season but said the players will need to stay humble if they want to end a six-year trophy drought.

The club have won all of their six matches this season, including Tuesday’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League opener.

Van Dijk, who arrived at Anfield from Southampto­n in January, insists their faultless start to the campaign is just a small step on a journey the club hopes will end with a first trophy since the 2012 League Cup. "We want to complete for every competitio­n like we did last year, and we wanted to start well this time,” the Dutch defender told British media.

“Everyone is excited, everyone is feeling good. And you know, we know the season is very long, we have four competitio­ns to play in, and we want to win everything.”

Despite showing improvemen­t since the arrival of Juergen Klopp in 2015, Liverpool have lost three finals since the German took over at the club.

Liverpool host Van Dijk’s former club Southampto­n in the league tomorrow, before facing Chelsea in a blockbuste­r League Cup third-round clash next Wednesday.
