Virgil van Dijk sends class message to Mohamed Salah amid confidence crisis

Virgil Van Dijk has backed his Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah to rediscover his instinct. Despite scoring three goals and providing assists, Salah has been guilty of missing some golden opportunities. However, Van Dijk insists that Salah is the same player and he just needs to rediscover his form. ‘We are seven games in and Mo’s working hard. He’s still the same Mo, and he needs a bit of luck as well,’ said Van Dijk. ‘I’m not worried at all, and he should not be worried either. We do it all together, we’ll always be there for him and he’ll deliver as well. ‘He had a tough game against Chelsea [on Saturday], but it’s part of football.’ After a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool have another tough fixture against Napoli on Wednesday night.
