The Reds lost to Chelsea on Saturday, making it three losses in a row for the team.

Van Dijk spoke about the loss at Stamford Bridge, saying, "It was a tough game. Both teams were trying to win, and conceding a goal like that is not a great feeling, especially heading into the international break."

He acknowledged that the team has a challenging period ahead, saying, "We have a very tough seven to eight days coming up. It was always going to be a difficult season, and I mentioned that from the start."

Van Dijk emphasized the importance of unity, saying, "We have to go through this together, not just as players, but also the staff and our fans who celebrated being champions. We shouldn't forget that."

He also pointed out that the team has faced similar challenges in the past, saying, "It's a bit ironic that we conceded in two different games at the last minute. There's still plenty of work to do, and we know that in football, things can change quickly."

Van Dijk expressed confidence in the team's ability to turn things around, saying, "But we have to work to get there first. The next seven to eight days have been tough for all of us, but we're the ones who can turn this around, together with the staff and the fans."

Van Dijk also discussed the team's recent form, saying, "It's a combination of everything. We need to work to find consistency, not concede, score, create, and not give up chances against us. We've been in tough situations before and come out on top."

He urged fans to maintain their support, saying, "Now we need everyone more than ever to be there for us. Every three or four days is another opportunity to find momentum and consistency."

Van Dijk emphasized the importance of staying focused and working together, saying, "It's down to us to keep working, find results, stick together, and find confidence. We've been in difficult situations before and gotten out of them."

He concluded by saying, "It's not for everyone to just accept it and move on, but the only thing we can do is focus on the next opportunity and work on it."
