Virgil van Dijk says Louis van Gaal’s cancer battle is firing up the Dutch.
Liverpool ’s skipper and his team-mates have been moved by the 71-year-old’s fight and says it has inspired them ‘to go that extra yard.’ Van Gaal made public his illness seven months ago and since then he has undergone 25 separate courses of treatment to cure cancer in his prostate.
But he appeared in rude health as the Dutch prepared to face Senegal and was his usual irascible, bombastic but good-natured self after his side wrapped up a 2-0 victory.
