While celebrating Darwin Nunez’s last-second winner against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was seen taking a mobile phone from the crowd.
Nunez extended Liverpool’s lead in the title chase with his 14th goal of the season in the final moments of Saturday’s contentious Premier League match at the City Ground.
The conclusion was contentious, to put it mildly. Further criticism of referee Paul Tierney for a “basic error” that “shouldn’t happen at this level” followed the full-time whistle.
However, after Nunez’s close-range header gave the Reds a vital victory, they celebrated. The post-goal celebrations were really recorded on a cell phone by captain Virgil van Dijk, who yelled out “come on” during the process.
Video of that occasion is available down below.As far as anyone can tell, Van Dijk was celebrating the club’s continued partnership with Google Pixel.
Liverpool and the company launched their official mobile phone agreement in August of last year, marking the beginning of a long-term engagement.
Their goal was to “amplify fan experiences” for supporters at Anfield, Prenton Park, and at home by utilizing the device’s camera features, which were driven by Google’s artificial intelligence.’
In addition, a new series called “Pitchside” was revealed. This series will bring fans closer to the action by showcasing exclusive material recorded on Google Pixel phones. As a result, you could have seen some content featuring Van Dijk recently.Lately, Liverpool’s schedule has been jam-packed. Not only did they defeat Chelsea 1-0 last weekend to claim the Carabao Cup, but they also won the FA Cup with a dominant performance against Southampton.
When questioned on Saturday whether he still gets the same rush from late-game winners, Jurgen Klopp was asked if that still holds true.
“Oh, definitely. Without a doubt,” he stated. What gives? Four games in eleven days. Five in 15. It’s quite challenging. It’s challenging without our squad, but it’s absolutely crushing.
I think it’s incredible how the boys battled through that. It was crystal evident that we wouldn’t show up here today with the intention of playing them out of the stadium and leaving them stranded. Difficulty peaked in the fourth game.аdding, “It wаs truly аn unbelievаble effоrt,” Klоpp аffirmed. The bоys did аn excellent jоb. If the scоre is 0-0, then the scоre is 0-0; we hаd tо bаttle thrоugh it, аnd the bоys did it. The оutcоme, the pоints, аnd such were definitely аffected by the gоаl, but thаt hаd nо beаring оn the gаme оr the effоrt.
To us, today is crucial, and I couldn’t be happier about that. The next game is still a ways off, but we still have time. We can’t train effectively till we have it to refuel, so it’s helpful.
The Premier League title race could come down to next weekend’s match between Liverpool and Manchester City.
