Van Dijk made a mistake in clearing the ball, but he blamed his teammates! The new Xia Chuang player was dumbfounded by his "scolding"

In Liverpool's 1-2 home defeat to Manchester United, Reds captain Van Dijk's performance was widely criticized. He was pointed out that he "passed the buck" to teammate Kyle Keitz during the game and lacked leadership.

The 34-year-old Dutch central defender performed poorly in the game and was partly responsible for Mbeumo's goal in just two minutes. At that time, Van Dijk, Mbeumo and McAllister competed for a high ball. As a result, Van Dijk's elbow injured teammate McAllister. The ball eventually fell to Bruno Fernandez, who passed the ball to Amade on the right (Liverpool's left).

Amad faced Liverpool left back Kyle Ketz and sent a precise through ball. Mbeumo took the opportunity to insert into the penalty area and score. It looked like Van Dijk had intended to hand Mbeumo over to his partner Konate, but the Cameroon forward managed to get between the two, much to the dismay of the Anfield fans.

This defeat was Liverpool's fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, leaving them 4 points behind leader Arsenal after eight rounds of the Premier League this season. New aids Wirtz, Isaac and Frimpong have yet to find their form, and Salah, the usual key player, has also failed to play his due role. The performance of Van Dijk and Konate this season is far from reaching their peak level. Former Premier League midfielder Craig Burley criticized Van Dijk's lack of leadership on the ESPN show, saying he was "blaming his teammates instead of taking responsibility".

"In my opinion, Van Dijk is not showing leadership now, but shirking responsibility," the former Chelsea player said. "Kyle Kez has not performed well, there's no doubt about that. He's under a lot of pressure and it's not easy to join a top club with high expectations. But if captain Virgil van Dijk is glaring at him and blaming him every two minutes, it doesn't do him any good. Help. "

" For example, in the 65th minute, Van Dyke's clearance ball hit Kyle Kez's face. What could he do? He was standing behind Van Dyke to make up for it? bit. As a result, the Dutch captain spread his hands and roared at Kelkes on the spot, indicating that the latter should call in advance. The mistake was originally Van Dijk's own, but the emotional outburst was meaningful. The whole audience saw it, and this behavior only made the situation worse. "

Since joining Liverpool from Bournemouth this summer, the 21-year-old Hungarian left-back has had a difficult start and was even criticized by Gary Neville for "playing like a 10-year-old kid" in the post-match podcast. In the 8 Premier League games he played for Liverpool this season, Kyle Keitz neither scored nor assisted, and his defensive performance was unconvincing. Kyle Katz's sluggish performance has a lot to do with the general lack of trust in him from his teammates. You know, he was the best player in the Premier League last season, and he is definitely not a parallel import from the Premier League.
