Rio Ferdinand is standing by his criticism of Liverpool 's horrendous 4-1 defeat to Napoli after Virgil van Dijk aimed a dig at the Manchester United legend and his fellow pundits.
Van Dijk was part of the Reds side who were thrashed in Italy last week and the one that responded by beating Ajax 2-1 on Tuesday, with a late goal from Joel Matip sealing all three points. Although Jurgen Klopp labelled the performance a "real horror" and the worst of his seven-year tenure at Anfield, Van Dijk was irked by some of the criticism from the likes of Ferdinand.
"Not listening to the outside world is the most important thing," the Dutchman told BT Sport after Liverpool got the job done against Ajax and got their Champions League campaign belatedly up and running.
