Virgil van Dijk sends out warning after emerging as Ballon d'Or favourite

Virgil van Dijk, who scored in Liverpool's 4-1 win over Norwich City on Friday, claims that he can be better despite emerging as a Ballon D'Or favorite. The Dutch defender impressed during the last season and is being viewed as one of the favorites to win the Ballon D'Or. “Obviously, I’m honoured to be mentioned as a candidate to win the Ballon d’Or, but the only way I can influence it is to just focus on playing well," said Van Dijk. “I don’t have a vote, but I am sure that the guys who do will come up with the right decision when the time is right. If I am picked, then I will be very honoured. But, if I’m not picked, then it won’t be the end of the world. “Everyone has their opinion, but I feel good, I feel fit and I can keep improving. “There is still plenty to improve. The only thing I want to do is keep working and keep giving everything I can in every game. “In training, as well, I want to be an example for all the players that are coming through the ranks at Melwood. “But I must keep getting better. Everyone can get better. That’s how I feel and that’s what I want to do.”  via Mirror.
