Virgil van Dijk has opened up on his friendship with Nathan Ake, but insists it will be ‘war’ as soon as Liverpool’s clash at Manchester City begins. The 31-year-old will face Pep…
Ake, has since defended his countryman, and will soon face his close friendAdvertisement“We live close to each other, our families get along very well and we see each other every week. Nat has been in a good flow all year but he is also modest.. He is achieving a very consistent level and people do not realise that is the hardest thing for a footballer to do.
“I am happy for him because I see what’s going on behind the scenes and how much he’s put in for it. On Saturday, he will probably be up against Mo Salah and hopefully we can get a good result.“When the whistle blows, it’s battle and a war on the pitch. After that, we pick up the friendship again and there are more important things in life than football.
