After declining to commit to Liverpool for the foreseeable future, Virgil van Dijk insisted his remarks were “taken out of context,” but he maintains his passion for the club and claims nothing has changed.

Virgil van Dijk, captain of Liverpool, has confirmed that he is “fully committed” to the project at Anfield and has denied rumors that he may depart the club at season’s end.

When asked about his feelings in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s shоcking statement last week, Van Dijk—who still has 18 months remaining on his Liverpool contract—originally declined to commit to the club in the long run.

Despite having two years remaining on his contract, the Liverpool manager shocked the footballing world on Friday afternoon by announcing his intention to leave Anfield in May after nine seasons.

There will be a lot of openings to fill before the summer at Liverpool with the departures of Klopp, assistants Pep Lijnders, Vitor Matos, and Peter Krawietz, and sports director Jorg Schmadtke, all of whom will go after the current transfer window.

Fans were scаred that life without Klopp would be even more turbulent than expected after hearing Van Dijk’s remarks in response to the news. But now the Dutchman has explained himself, claiming that his remarks were misquoted.

Van Dijk stated, “It’s been taken out of context,” while appearing on the Me𝚗 in Blazers YouTube channel. I want it to be crystal apparent that I am totally dedicated to the club.

The club is fantastic. The fans are very cool. The original context of that comment has been completely removed. This is not my problem. Not “I,” but “us” is the important thing here. There has been no change.Since we hadn’t even brought up my contract five days ago, this is all really ridiculous. I intend for this year to be exceptional, and nothing less than that is my goal.

It was a huge news over the past few days, and everyone associated with the club was.

At that same second, when I learned the news, I felt exactly the same way as the supporters. This is no joke, though.

We are determined to keep going until we accomplish all of our goals for the season. We should make the most of our favorable situation.

But, as I mentioned before, don’t misunderstand. The club is my life, and I adore every minute of it. At Liverpool, I enjoy every single day.

“I am the [Liverpool] captain and we are going to go for it all,” he said. We shall observe the outcome of that.

Following his earlier admission that the impending tectonic change in management at the club deserves contemplation, Van Dijk—who was installed as Liverpool captain at the start of the season—was cоmpelled to elaborate on his meaning.

“So many things will change in order to replace not only the manager but the whole staff.” An someone in their thirties made the statement. “When that is announced, we will see our situation, but I’m very curious about the direction it will go in.”

But Klopp didn’t let Van Dijk’s comments bother him. The manager responded negatively when asked if the team could snap out of its slump fast following the Dutch international’s refusal to sign with the club. In fact, it’s really typical.

“The outside world would never give you a chance to process it (the news of Klopp’s departure),” the author said.

‘Give the guys a break!’ No one questioned about contracts a week ago when they were in the dark about my decision. As expected, we must formulate an оutlооk regarding the subsequent events.

Everyone can relax. This was bound to happen, I knew it. The media is eagerly anticipating inquiries of this nature. “By the way, I wanna sаy…” wasn’t something Virg spoke casually.This club is steady, so write whatever you want. Exactly right. Trust me when I sаy that everything will be OK. Everything else is secondary; we must resolve this by answering your questions. My recommendation for our people is… Maintain your composure.

The media tends to exaggerate the significance of fans’ complaints.

Our fans’ intelligence is underrated, you know. That is entirely typical. For the time being, there is no need to be concerned. These (contract negotiations) could take place at any time of year.

“You (the media) are the only annoying part,” the German continued. “Why do they do that, why don’t they do that?” . Nothing to be concerned about. The lads adore this spot. That much is certain to me. “We will see what happens when it happens.”
