Van Dijk: Facing City in the Charity Shield with the secret success of Liverpool's defense 

 
Liverpool center-back Virgil van Dijk stressed the difficulty of facing Manchester City, the 2022 FA Community Shield between Manchester City and Liverpool will be held at Leicester City's King Power Stadium on July 30, 2022. “We start every season with the goal of winning every game we play, but this season it will be no different,” Van Dijk said in his interview with the official website of Liverpool FC. "We knew it was going to be a very tough season and there will be ups and downs and Thursday was obviously a down," said the Netherlands international. "We are disappointed we lost but there is no reason for panic. For us, it was just another important Premier League game. Unfortunately, we lost and couldn't get a result. Van Dijk pointed out that all Liverpool players were disappointed at the end of last season, after the disappointment of missing out on the title of the previous year’s Premier League and Champions League titles.
Speaking about Liverpool's defense, Van Dijk said: "We complement each other very well. The relationship between all of us is also a very big thing. We all want the same goal and that is to win matches. That is the key to success, so I hope we can continue with that." 
Liverpool is blessed to have such quality in great depth as far as their center-back options are concerned – a statement Virgil van Dijk would readily agree with.
