He's been the most expensive acquisition of Liverpool's history. Van Dijk took a decision, with precise motivations: "In my life it hasn't always been perfect - has he told the Daily Mail - my mother left my father when I was young. There always have been problems between them".
Van Dijk has now become a man and the most expensive defender: "I was happy Liverpool wanted me, but I have not changed everything on my own. Knowing I cost that much isn't easy to deal with. In the meantime though, I know there are more important things in life. My wife and my children are my priority, it is and will remain like that. Then comes football and other things". He has to think about the pitch now, because his Liverpool will host Manchester City tonight, after the loss against Napoli in Champions League: "It's been a tough game against the Azzurri, the first of the season we deserved to lose. The good thing though is we have the chance to get back on track against the best team in Premier League. We can't wait".
