Liverpool star van Dijk reveals one game he's watched back

Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has spoken about the one match that he has watched more than one time.

The Dutchman is not one for reminiscing about past successes with club and country.

But he does admit that he watched one game, which dates back to his playing days in the Netherlands.

Van Dijk was at Groningen in Eredivisie before going to Celtic, Southampton and then Liverpool.

He the Reds' official website: "I don't watch too much football, to be fair. Especially from this season I didn't watch any particular game back, if I'm honest. I don't know why, it's just how it is.

"I saw only one game back of me when I played one of my first games in Holland, that was on TV, when I played at right-back. I couldn't believe what I was doing at that time! I watched that game back because I was 18 or 19 at the time and I didn't watch that game back since that time.

"It was on TV and I watched it back. I miss watching football and obviously playing football but it's a bit of a difficult one I think. I didn't watch any of the Liverpool games this year, I have seen a couple on social media, some highlights – it's nice to see and a good feeling to get. But, apart from that, not really."
