Virgil van Dijk sends simple four-word message to Liverpool fans

Liverpool fans may be feeling the tension as their team chases four trophies in the remaining weeks of the season, but defender Virgil van Dijk has reminded them to enjoy the journey.

The Reds made it 10 wins in succession in the Premier League on Saturday, as they breezed to a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Watford at Anfield. It was a victory that temporarily took them to the top of the table, only for Manchester City to retake the position later in the day with a win over Burnley.

While there will be a lot of focus on the title push, Liverpool turn their attention to the Champions League in midweek and a winnable quarter-final draw against Benfica. They will then play City over consecutive weekends in the Premier League and the FA Cup semi-final.

April is set to be a relentless month for the Reds as a result, but after he helped his team keep a clean sheet on Saturday, Van Dijk took to Twitter to send a message to fans: "Just enjoy the ride."

After missing the majority of last season with a serious knee injury, the Dutchman has been back to his best again this term.

Van Dijk has been at the heart of a Liverpool defence that has kept five clean sheets in a row in the Premier League, rekindling his indomitable partnership with Joel Matip at the base of the team.
