Virgil van Dijk was appointed Liverpool captain ahead of the 23/24 season
“And I always liked it because I thought it set the tone for the game and it also gave the crowd a signal that we were ready to go.”The Dutchman added: “It can also help the atmosphere with it being so close to the match starting, so if our fans want to join in by building up the noise and adding to the sense of anticipation I certainly won't complain, even if it makes it difficult for me to make myself heard.
“So to be on the list with people like that is definitely not the kind of thing that I would have expected when I started playing.“But the most important thing for me is that I am part of a team of leaders, individually, who find their own way to take responsibility no matter who is wearing the armband.”
