Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has emphasized that despite the team's impressive start to the season, which includes 14 wins from 16 matches and topping both the Premier League and Champions League, there is still significant room for improvement. Following their 4-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Van Dijk highlighted the importance of daily effort and maintaining high standards, stating, "We are happy but we want to be happy at the end of the season." He noted that the team is still a 'work in progress' under new head coach Arne Slot and is focused on refining their defensive strategies. Van Dijk also acknowledged that while the results have been promising, the players recognize areas needing enhancement. Liverpool is currently at the top of their Champions League group and is well-positioned to qualify for the knockout stage, with their next challenge against Real Madrid looming. The commitment to continuous improvement remains a vital aspect of their approach as they seek to build on their early success.
