Konate was sensational as Liverpool drew 1-1 with rival title contenders Arsenal on Saturday, demonstrating their Premier League championship credentials.

Although that performance was seen by some as the Frenchman’s best for the Reds thus far, Van Dijk is confident in his teammate’s ability to continue growing.

That he is still maturing was his comment. As a defender, he excels. In today’s game, he possesses all the qualities necessary to be considered the best center back in the world.

Our expectations are high. The team uses the ball well, maintains a high line, and has plenty of room to defend in the back. Requires heading and tempo in addition. He’s excelling at it.

“Taking care of your body, playing every three days, managing your games and training sessions, and knowing when to do certain things are all part of it.”

Additionally, Van Dijk disclosed that he is utilizing his expertise to its fullest extent in order to guarantee that Konate moves forward.

A lot of the time, I talk to him about certain topics because I feel obligated to tell him about my life experiences, he continued. He has room to grow and improve; he isn’t finished yet. Jarell is no different.

I’ve been doing this for a long and have had a lot of success. And I do my best to pass it on to the younger players.

These young players are already better than I was when I was their age. The important thing is to do it for the long haul, though. His current performance has my approval, but I know he has the potential to improve even farther.

It’s encouraging to observe growth and improvement, and it’s great that they pay attention. Let’s wait and watch what happens.

On Saturday, Kostas Tsimikas’s forced departure due to a suspected broken collarbone dealt further blоw to Liverpool’s defense ιnjury wоes.

However, after Joe Gomez’s outstanding performance against the Gunners, Van Dijk has complete faith in him to fill in at left back.

“Unfortunately, Kostas is injured, and we have to deal with the backlash,” he concluded. The situation is not ideal.

[Gomez] has been carrying it out for some time. He’s just killing it. Good time management is essential when you aren’t accustomed to playing every three days.

Joey and his work are completely trustworthy in my opinion. We have the ability to change our approach and play in a different manner. We need to figure this out.

“We have younger players who are ready to step up too.”
