Koeman said: “I told Virgil within 30 seconds of the end of the game against France what I thought. “I know him so well – and that means I know where all his little faults are. “Virgil has to improve. Not a lot. But sometimes he is a little too laid back. That needs to change. “There are moments as a defender when you should be no more than three feet away from the striker you are marking. And, particularly in Van Dijk's case, because of the strength and power he has he is too laid back. “On Monday, when he arrived in our training camp in Zeist, he could see from the look on my face that I was thinking about the foul he made when Liverpool played Man City on Sunday. “The tackle cost his team a penalty and Virgil realised that he had made the wrong decision.
