It’s easy to forget how far every member of Jurgen Klopp’s team have come in order to become Liverpool players and Virgil van Dijk has been given a chance to revisit where his footballing journey began.
Taking to his Instagram account, the captain of Holland uploaded some images and the caption: ‘Where it all began… BREDA. My neighbourhood!!! The area I grew up as a young kid and had so many good memories.
‘This is a proud moment. Together with @cruyfffoundation I was allowed to reopen the cruijff court and put my name on it. Thank you to everyone who turned up! Enjoy the courts as I did’.
The 31-year-old was born in Breda and to be able to return whilst on international duty in order to open a football court, in partnership with the Johan Cruyff Foundation, must be a real buzz.
After seeing Darwin Nunez also give back to his community this summer, it shows that we have a dressing room built of really humble and caring men.
