Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool must break their curse away from home this season and show the real Liverpool - starting in Amsterdam.
Jurgen Klopp’s side visit Ajax knowing that a result in the broiling atmosphere of the Dutch side’s 56,000 sold out stadium will deliver them into the knock out phase of the Champions League. But that is easier said than done for a team which won all of their away games in reaching the final of Europe’s premier competition last season, after a dismal record on the road during the current campaign.
They have won just one of seven away games in all competitions, and another defeat in the Amsterdam Arena would give them real problems in qualifying from the group stage. And van Dijk said: “We want to improve the situation, we want to improve the away results. It starts tomorrow. We want to show tomorrow that we are Liverpool.
