Virgil van Dijk 'so angered' by Erling Haaland he walked away from interview

Virgil van Dijk was so angry with the mistakes he made defending against Erling Haaland that he walked away from an interview. That's according to former Norway star Jan Aage Fjortoft. Liverpool had just beaten the Austrian team in the Champions League at Anfield. Fjortoft told Blood Red podcast: "The first time I saw him [Haaland] live was at Anfield when he came on and I was amazed that this young kid created so much space. He scored one goal but he could have had three or four - he was unbelievable. I was amazed how he created space and how I define that is how his runs are wise and experienced. "After the game, I interviewed Van Dijk, who I always like to interview because he is a gentleman, and I said 'I have to ask you about the Norwegian, Erling Haland'. And he just said: 'Well, we won the game'. So I said 'Yes, but what do you think about him?'. "Van Dijk said: 'I didn't see a lot of him' and he was a bit angry because there was some mistakes done. And I said 'It's a good sign for a striker when a defender says he didn't see him!' - and then he just went away, Van Dijk." Source: The Mirror
