Liverpool captain and start defender, Virgil van Dijk, passed comments on the Merseyside club's performance against Brighton at the weekend and what they need to take into the tough matchup with former Red, Xabi Alonso, and his Bayer Leverkusen side
Liverpool were shocked in the first half against Brighton, conceding early before changing the tide in the second half to come back from 1-0 down to finish the game 2-1 victors.
“The second half, though, was a different story. We came with a completely different energy after the break and I think we got what we deserved from the game. It was a big three points for us, especially when you see some of the other results around the Premier League at the weekend. “Tonight we face another difficult game, and another really strong opponent. It is hard not to be impressed by what Bayer Leverkusen have done over the past 12 months or so. They have been one of the best and most consistent teams in Europe, achieving incredible things in Germany last season. They have a good manager, one who is very familiar to our supporters of course, and they will arrive at Anfield highly motivated, ready to give us a really tough test.
