Virgil van Dijk: More to be done.

Prior to their Premier League debut against Chelsea the following weekend, Virgil van Dijk insists Liverpool still have “work to do.”.

In a 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich at the Singapore National Stadium, the 32-year-old, who was named Liverpool’s captain last week, scored.

But despite taking an early 2-0 lead after the defender added to Cody Gakpo’s second-minute goal and despite leading once more after Luis Diaz’s vicious effort just after the hour mark, the Bundesliga champions prevailed in the dying minutes thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Frans Kratzig, and Josip Stanisic.

After Thomas Tuchel’s team played through Liverpool’s lines far too easily on Wednesday, the first-half goals from Gnabry and Sane, two of Liverpool’s four goals conceded, were thoroughly investigated.

After the game, Van Dijk admitted his team still has a lot of work to do before the Premier League opener the following weekend.

Van Dijk remarked, “So many positive things and areas where we need to grow.”. They are a very skilled opponent, and they will punish you if you are distracted for even a brief moment, as happened today. We will continue to do the work that needs to be done.

“We have the capability to hold them accountable if they misbehave, and we did that. Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter; it’s all about the process, and we need to take lessons from certain experiences. The games we played and the training sessions were very intense. Every game, we practice set pieces.

I am trying to be more clinical when I need to be. In order to compete with these teams and players, we want to play at the highest level. They occasionally punished us, and that is how things are. Still in preseason, there have been significant changes. “.

Cody Gakpo – the heartbeat of Liverpool’s attack

Cody Gakpo caught Bayern Munich off guard with a move that has become a staple of his game since moving to Liverpool eight months ago.

After a quick one-two with Diogo Jota, Gakpo was charging down on Yann Sommer’s goal in Liverpool’s final preseason game of their 2023 tour of Singapore.

Gakpo gave the ball one touch to caress before taking another to steady himself before launching a beautiful weak-footed shot past Sommer to give Liverpool the lead over the Bundesliga champions. The 23-year-old received the ball in a deep central area, which has become an all-too-familiar sight for Kopties since his transfer from PSV Eindhoven, and then it was a lightning-quick back-to-front sequence from there.

The £37 million January signing’s latest impressive performance, which was his second goal of preseason, puts him in a strong position to start at Stamford Bridge the following weekend.

“Mystery” bid for Caicedo.

The unidentified club that reportedly made an offer of £ 80 million for Moises Caicedo is Liverpool.

The Athletic reported yesterday that Brighton had received a bid for the Ecuadorian that was higher than Chelsea’s most recent offer (£75 million upfront plus $5 million in add-ons).

Due to competition from other teams for the midfielder, according to Football Insider, Liverpool is the unnamed club that has made this offer.

A Saudi club is in charge of this offer, according to a separate update from Sky Sports.

Kylian Mbappe Latest 

Goncalo Ramos is reportedly close to joining Paris Saint-Germain from Benfica in a £69 million deal, as Kylian Mbappe’s future in the French capital is becoming more and more in doubt.

Ramos, 22, was one of Portugal’s stars at the World Cup and made his presence known by scoring a hat-trick against Switzerland in the round of 16. In 106 appearances for the Eagles since his debut in 2020, Ramos has scored 41 goals at the club level.

Pictures of Mbappe training with PSG’s “bomb squad” surfaced earlier this week, prompting the Parisians’ pursuit of the striker, who, according to Fabrizio Romano, is set to sign a five-year contract at the Parc des Princes.

After declining to renew his contract with the Ligue 1 champions, the 24-year-old World Cup winner was placed on the transfer list by the club. PSG reportedly believes he has verbally agreed to a deal with longtime rivals Real Madrid ahead of a Bosman transfer next summer.

Mbappe is reportedly open to moving to Chelsea this summer if he can do so on the condition that he can join Real Madrid for free in 2024, according to a report from Spain.
