Following Jordan Henderson’s departure for Saudi Arabia, Liverpool FC have appointed their new captain and the one selected was Virgil Van Dijk, the team’s central defender and one of the club’s strongholds. The Dutchman will have the responsibility of being the captain of the English team and leading the other players, as well as another of the great stars of the team such as Mohamed Salah.
“I have a special feeling and I really can’t describe it in words. But it’s something I’m very, very proud of,” Van Dijk told the club’s microphones. For his part, Alexander-Arnold does the same with the departure of James Milner, who was the former second captain of the club. Being Mohamed Salah the third and fourth option of the club for this following season.
Salah is without a doubt the great reference of the English team in recent years. The Egyptian striker has already entered the all-time goalscoring records in the Premier League and was essential to Liverpool’s resurgence in 2017. However, for the board and Jurgen Klopp, the Dutchman is the one chosen to lead the club from the captaincy.
What did Salah do when he saw that he is not the new Liverpool captain?
The player has been extremely focused on this preseason, with the intention of returning to the best version of him and working out in the gym from early hours of the day. The player apparently is already aware that he has become one of the team’s veterans and must accept his role as guide and star of the club. For this reason, great things are expected from the player for this season.
