Dutch national team member and Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk believes that the large number of games this season has affected his form.
“I played too many games; my body simply broke down.” This is a pace that cannot be sustained. I returned to the field too soon after a complicated injury. “I should have taken a break before the World Cup in Qatar,” van Dijk said.
The Dutch footballer played 27 matches for Liverpool in all competitions this season.
“I didn’t take a break, because I like to play and I want to be on the field for the team as much as I can.” However, my body obviously can’t handle it. I’m not a robot. “I should have made some decisions this season smarter; I’m aware of that,” said the Dutchman.
