"He expressed his opinion." Van Dijk trolls Rooney amid accusations of error in PSG match

Liverpool exited the Champions League at the round of 16 stage, losing 0-1 to PSG in regular time and then in the penalty shootout. British football legend Wayne Rooney blamed the conceded goal on the "Reds" captain Virgil van Dijk, claiming he was too lazy to press in that moment. The Dutchman's response was not long in coming.

Details: Van Dijk candidly shared what he was thinking at that moment, placing part of the responsibility in the episode leading to Ousmane Dembele's goal on Andrew Robertson.

Quote: "I think at that moment I was helping Robertson, telling him to cover the outside. I'll take the inside. I'm even explaining now what I was thinking at that moment, but if Rooney thought it was laziness, then he expressed his opinion.

That's it. Many years ago, these players had so many problems, and obviously, they still have problems now, as they have to deal with opinions here and there, and it's constantly blown up," Van Dijk stated.

Recall: Earlier, the Dutch defender expressed hope that news about his future at Liverpool would soon emerge.
