Virgil van Dijk wants UEFA Super Cup success to be another step in Liverpool's development of a trophy-winning habit.
Van Dijk spoke of his delight at securing another continental winner’s medal following on from June’s Champions League victory.
“Hopefully it will be a nice habit [of winning trophies],” the centre-back told Liverpoolfc.com at Besiktas Park.
“It was tough, they played well [and] we had moments of playing well as well. I think it was a great game to watch as a neutral spectator, but overall we’re all very happy that we won the penalty shootout and take the cup with us.”
On the momentum swings throughout the 120 minutes, Van Dijk said: “I think we started good. We did well, we put them under pressure, we had moments.
“I think at times we lost the ball a little bit too easy and the gaps were too big and they did well, they countered on us in a couple of moments and became dangerous. [We had] a couple of moments that were a bit lucky with the offside trap and stuff, but after the break we did very well.
“We came out and we showed what we all want to see and then after that they had moments, we had moments as well and it could go any way. After all, it’s all about a bit of luck in the penalty shootout.”

one thing you guys should know the rule of the game is interpreted in so many ways, the last spot kick yesterday should not be disallowed because Abraham has already make contact with the ball before andrian move off his line. so the save is a good one and the penalty kick is ok.
All hater should kiss my ass....all I know is we carry the cup already if u like hug the transformer

you are a frustrated Barcelona fan after that 4nil way back at anfield.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not even that say the truth and let it set you free Chelsea scored 4 goal and 2 were canceled which was a very wrong discussion if Mason Mount goal was disallowed Pulisic goal should stand he wasn’t offside then Firmno was offside just like Mason Mount before he passed the ball to Mane then the goal count how’s that supposed to be a goal deep down your guy y’all Liverpool fans knew it was a cheat but you can’t admit it

Liverpool can win more trophies when Henderson and Milner are out of the midfield and OX has been stopped playing as forward. If this is what Klopp is coming to do this season then we will walk alone another 40 years.
A little harsh but i see ur point. Klopp needs to have a steadier head.
