Virgil van Dijk on Super Cup aim, Adrian and female referee

"We are ready," insisted Virgil van Dijk as he looked ahead to Liverpool's UEFA Super Cup showdown with Chelsea in Istanbul on Wednesday night.

Van Dijk was part of a pre-match press conference with teammate Sadio Mane and manager Jürgen Klopp on the eve of the annual one-off tie that pits the Champions League and Europa League winners against each other.

During the chat with the media, the Reds’ No.4 discussed the team’s determination to claim the silverware at Besiktas Park and the prospect of working with Adrian due to the injury sustained by first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
