Van Dijk maintains that remaining the "biggest club" in the country is the ultimate aim among the players.Speaking to Reach, he said: "The most important thing is the culture of the club, that never changes. You know since I have been at the club, from the day I walked in, obviously with Jurgen (Klopp) as the manager and Hendo (Jordan Henderson) as the captain, the values that they showed me back then I wanted to keep carrying on."That is how it should be for the next few years and whatever happens after I finally have to go.

There is the Liverpool way and that is the key and the start to our success I would say."Being the biggest club [in England] is definitely the aim from the club and definitely from us as players as well. We didn't manage to do it after winning it last time (in 2020), Manchester City managed to do it but it is such a difficult thing," he said.Cadbury Ambassador Virgil Van Dijk is celebrating Game Changers up and down the country and recognising those who offer small acts that make a big difference.
