Hupu News, October 20th: In the Premier League focus match between the two clubs that ended early this morning, Liverpool lost 1-2 at home to Manchester United and suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. After the game, Liverpool captain Van Dijk accepted an interview with "Echo" and talked about related topics and situations.

Van Dijk said after the game: "We will review the entire game, but as I have emphasized many times, the focus now is the Champions League. We will fight again in a few days and must do our best to recover physically, especially after suffering a four-game losing streak. Mental recovery is even more critical. Every player is taking responsibility in his own way - you cannot escape, you must move on. Wednesday It's a new opportunity. "

"Everyone in Anfield may be feeling anxious today, which is understandable. After three consecutive losses and the international break, everyone is looking forward to seeing a good performance, including ourselves. But excessive desire may be counterproductive. The key is to find a balance-not too excited and not too depressed. If you want to win, you must do it in the right way. Get ready for the midweek battle. "

Talking about the team's rare losing streak, the Liverpool captain said frankly: "This is the first time I have suffered four consecutive defeats during my tenure. We've been through difficult times in different situations and it's always a challenge that has to be met. The most important thing is to unite, maintain confidence, continue to improve the many current problems, and find stability. All this needs to be done together with the fans who are looking forward to victory. "

Liverpool was scored by Manchester United striker Mbemo in the first 62 seconds of this game. Although Slott replaced attackers such as Ekitic, Wirtz and Chiesa, Gakpo equalized. However, the imbalance of the lineup led to Manchester United's header from Maguire in the 84th minute, gaining their first victory at Anfield since 2016.

When Van Dijk analyzed the cause of the defeat, he pointed out: "There are only two adjustments to the starting lineup compared to before, and I don't think that is the problem. The reality is that we conceded a goal too early. Although we had enough time to recover and strive to equalize, the opponent's counterattack tactics created a threat. We could have achieved a go-ahead after equalizing but failed to grasp it, which is the most disappointing. The responsibility for the four-game losing streak lies with us and must be corrected as soon as possible."

"When the opponent won through a corner kick, the defense Every role in the defense system is crucial. After the rescue, we still need to stick to our responsibilities, but unfortunately we made an oversight at that moment. Liverpool are never satisfied with a draw, especially at home. After tying the score, we had the momentum to pursue the victory. At this moment, we should go all out to win. It's easy to say this after a loss, but hopefully we can get back to winning ways. In my memory, we have never fought for a draw - now we have to bear the pain, face reality and move forward with the fans. "
