Reds legend Jamie Carragher is wary of the coming season despite Virgil Van Dijk’s return to competition.
This week, the Liverpool Reds recorded the return of their rock, Virgil Van Dijk. After a nine-month absence due to a serious knee injury, the Dutch defender was able to replay twenty minutes in the friendly against Hertha Berlin.
This comeback has something to boost the Merseysiders and also strengthen their ambitions for the coming season. Jurgen Klopp’s team have the firm intention of regaining the top of England and also returning to the trophies.
The enthusiasm therefore returned to the Anfield side, but it was quickly showered by a former member of the house. A certain Jamie Carragher believes that the presence of VDV is in no way a guarantee for a successful season and he warns the players against the temptation to see themselves too good-looking on paper. “I don’t think we should expect Virgil van Dijk to come back to Liverpool and this team will automatically win the league this season”, he warned in his column for The Independent.
