Van Dijk revealed: “In this game for outsiders, it may be seen as a game that looks and feels fun. but for us We intended to come here hoping to get 3 points back, and in the end we failed. And they have a really great team. But we also have a team that is no less great than them.”
“In this game I felt we were going through a lot of pressure situations but we played well defense as a team. We don’t let the other side have the chance to score goals too easily. In fact, I always felt that we had a chance to make it 3-2 but in the end it didn’t.
“Our confidence It’s never been difficult. Of course the gap will be bigger and bigger, but they (Manchester City) could be crowned champions in their hands. But now there is still a chance that many things will happen. We’ve been in that kind of situation before. We used to be a lot of distance from our opponents, but in the end, we made a mistake with each other and caused the championship to slip away. So I have to say that everything is still possible.”
“We have to focus on ourselves first and Chelsea will focus on their own play as well. We just need to give us good and proper results. We have to play good football. However, although it sounds easy to do, it is actually quite a difficult task. Just like the games we saw today.”
