Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk emphasizes the importance of staying focused on the next match rather than speculating about a quadruple this season.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has played down talk of a quadruple this season. Like last season the club go into the new year in a strong position in all four competitions, but the defender says remaining focused is the priority. Van Dijk said following the 6-3 win at Tottenham: 'Are you speaking about a quadruple in this case? Well, I think I've given answers already many times that we don't think what's out there in May. We want to be up there in May, but we've seen how difficult it is.
'But, listen, we focus about what's next ahead of us and that's the only thing. I'm not getting dragged into any conversation about potential winning a trophy or two or three or four. 'It's all about being there each and every game that's ahead of us. At the moment, there was Spurs today, a tough one, but we made a very good game. And then next is Leicester, and that's the only team we have influence on as well.' After Liverpool's big win over Tottenham, Van Dijk said he is not surprised by the team's success and the position they find themselves in this season.'No . Yeah, obviously, I think we have only had one addition made to the squad in terms of Federico (Chiesa), and this group of players have been playing together for quite a long time.'The experience is there, the quality is there, I've seen it each and every day. It's obviously a surprise where it's such a big change happening with Jurgen (Klopp) being replaced by the new manager, and there will always be question marks, but I still had so much trust in my team that we could definitely be competing at the moment, in the top of the Premier League at least. So we have to stay consistent.'
