Southampton head coach Mauricio Pellegrino commented on the attitudes of defender Virgil Van Dyck ahead of the fight with Liverpool.

Last summer, the "reds" desperately tried to organize a transfer of Van Dyke, but the leadership of Southampton refused to release the Dutch defender to Liverpool.

On the eve of a full-time duel between the teams, the head coach of the "saints" Mauricio Pellegrino is sure that Virgil will put it to the maximum.

"I do not think that Van Dyck will have any difficulties. He is 100 percent focused on our team, "said Mauricio.

"He wants to improve his game, because he was for a long time injured and did not go on the field".

"During each transfer window, other clubs try to buy our players, and it's no secret that sometimes these things distract the players. This is normal, "- concluded the coach.

At the moment, Liverpool takes the 5th place in the Premier League standings. Southampton is located on the 13th line.
