Virgil van Dijk, who is on his way to Liverpool's legend, has strongly expressed his love for the club.
Liverpool released the interviews between Pandique and Mohamed Salah on the club's official website on the 10th (Korea time).
The two players renewed their contracts with Liverpool this summer, confirming that they will actually commit to Liverpool until the end of their prime. Both players are already the same as the club's 'Living Legend'. Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 and is an ace for the club. Van Dijk also played as the world's best defender after joining Liverpool in 2017, and is now the team's captain. The two players also expressed their affection for the club and their goals in this interview.

One of Van Dyck's words was enough to stab the fans and one player in the heart. VanDijk said: "After I leave, I want to leave a legacy for the club and inspire the next generation"We are now at a club where legends are remembered, respected, and welcomed" he said in a tribute to Liverpool.
VanDijk's comments contrast with Trent Alexander-Arnold's move, who left the team on a free agent this summer after growing up as a former Liverpool youth team member. Alexander-Arnold was one of the young professionals who made his professional debut through Liverpool's youth team in 2016. He has lifted most of the trophies in Liverpool, including league wins, league cup wins, FA Cup wins, and European Champions League wins. He was also ranked as the best right fullback in the English Premier League (EPL). However, Alexander-Arnold immediately moved to Real Madrid when his contract with Liverpool expired this summer.
Alexander-Arnold is grateful for this opportunity shortly after the transfer. Joining Real Madrid is not something that happens every day. My dream came true. I'm very happy to be here. It's a huge opportunity to play for Real, and I'm going to give it everything. I look forward to growing up together, winning the championship, and showing my game,' he said, angering Liverpool fans.

Alexander-Arnold is virtually difficult to be remembered as a Liverpool legend due to his transfer to Real. He is a former club Sunggol Youth, but there is no possibility that fans will recognize him as a legend who left Liverpool with his back.
On the other hand, Van Dijk's re-signing with Liverpool confirmed his ending as a defender and legend who will remain in Liverpool's history. His calling Liverpool a club where legends are respected and welcomed may represent his willingness not to leave Liverpool unlike Arnold. One player's transfer made Liverpool fans cry, but Van Dijk's remarks soothed the upset Liverpool fans.
