Virgil Van Dijk warns of threat of their next Champions League opponent

Liverpool will play against Red Star Belgrade when they meet in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Virgil Van Dijk has pointed out what they need to do to win and warned his teammates not to underestimate the opponent. “They are in the Champions League - the best competition in Europe apart from the Premier League - and it will be a hard game,” he said. “We will need to be 100 per cent and I think we will be. “Against Huddersfield, we should have done even better. Obviously we kept a clean sheet, which is all good, but we could have made it easier for ourselves. “We need to win every game. There is basically no other mindset. “It’s another Champions League night at Anfield and I’m sure we will recover from Huddersfield and make sure we are ready.” Liverpool ground out a 1-0 victory at Huddersfield Town last time out but Jurgen Klopp wan’t satistfied with his team’s performance as they sustained pressure from the hosts. And Van Dijk acknowledges there is room for improvement. He continued: “You are not going to dominate every game and play well every game but considering how we played it was a great result to keep a clean sheet. “That's all good but we could have done a bit better, perhaps made it easier for ourselves. “At times they [Huddersfield] made it look more dangerous than it really was and they had their moments where if they did a little better they could have scored.”
