Van Dijk Shuts Down Owen’s Question After Liverpool’s Victory Over Everton!
Virgil van Dijk is on course to become the first Dutch captain to lift the Premier League trophy, as Liverpool extended their lead at the top with a 1-0 win over Everton. However, the spotlight turned to his post-match interview, where he delivered a sharp response to Michael Owen’s question.
Diogo Jota’s goal secured a crucial win in a match filled with controversy. Everton’s James Tarkowski avoided a red card, and Liverpool’s goal stood despite a questionable offside position from Luis Diaz. Despite these moments, Liverpool cemented their dominance over their city rivals, maintaining a 12-point lead over Arsenal.
Van Dijk’s No-Nonsense Response to Owen
During a post-match interview, Owen suggested that recent defeats in the Champions League and Carabao Cup might have diminished the significance of winning the Premier League. Van Dijk, however, was quick to challenge that notion:
“So you’re suggesting the season isn’t special anymore?”
Owen clarified that winning the league would still be an incredible achievement, but he believed it could have been even more. Van Dijk, unfazed, insisted that the narrative had to change:
“We’re fighting for the biggest prize of the season. We worked so hard for it, just like every other team. With eight games to go, we have to give everything. This season is still very, very special in my eyes.”
Liverpool Fans Rally Behind Their Captain
Reds supporters were thrilled with Van Dijk’s confident reply. One fan simply posted: “My captain!” Others called for Liverpool to extend his contract, praising him as “the best defender in world football.”
Some compared his cool yet cutting response to Joe Pesci’s famous scene in Goodfellas: “Do I amuse you?” Meanwhile, another fan summed up the moment with a scoreline: “Virgil 1-0 Owen.”
Whether Owen will get another chance to challenge Van Dijk remains to be seen, but for now, the Liverpool skipper has set the record straight.
