Thanks to Messi, Mac Allister and Salah makes fun of Van Dijk at Liverpool
Lionel Messi is the reason why Mac Allister and Salah jokes around with Van Dijk.
Liverpool has arguably the most united squad in the world, and that is thanks to Jurgen Klopp. The unity in the team is evident when they win games in the Premier League and in other competitions as they take it one game at a time. Liverpool have world-class players like Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, and Virgil Van Dijk. While they are united, Salah and Alexis Mac Allister give Van Dijk a hard time with a joke that the Dutch defender would not like to hear.
In an interview with DSports, Mac Allister reveals that he and Salah torment Van Dijk regularly because of a saying that Lionel Messi made in the 2022 World Cup. Mac Allister said, " Me and Salah, all day long, are saying "ANDA PA ALLÁ, BOBO [Messi to Weghorst] to Van Dijk. We are driving him crazy, and we also throw that to each other."
This is a bad memory for Van Dijk as the Netherlands lost to Argentina in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The game is remembered as intense because of the dramatic game going to penalties. Argentina was winning 2-0 until the Netherlands drew it late in the game. Two late goals by Wout Weghorst led the game to go to extra time. Argentina won the game 4-3 on penalties and the South American team ended up winning the 2022 World Cup.
Liverpool's next game in the Premier League
Liverpool will take on Nottingham Forest at The City Ground in the Premier League this Saturday. Liverpool are first in the league with 60 points, and both Mac Allister and Van Dijk are likely to start the game. Van Dijk played the first half against Southampton yesterday, while Mac Allister played for 30 minutes when he subbed in at the 62nd minute yesterday.
