Virgil van Dijk names one area of his game he wants to improve

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has revealed that on his opinion his game has still some parts which need improvement. The 28-year-old is being favored as one of the top contenders to win the Ballon d'Or after the successful season he had with Liverpool. However, the defender thinks that he has room for improvements. "I am very hard on myself. I know the slightest loss of concentration, the slightest mistake will be punished. I try to limit it as much as possible," Van Dijk told BBC Sport. "I have always been very critical of myself and I like the people around me to be critical too. And they are, the manager is as well, which is a good thing. "I have improved since I joined Liverpool. Last year I am very satisfied with the fact that I played so many games on a consistent level, I am very proud of that fact. On a critical part I could have done more on attacking set-pieces, been more dangerous. It is not easy, I try to work on it. "I feel there is still more to come. That comes from playing games. In my position it is all about experience as well. Playing games, staying fit, and that will hopefully bring success for the team."
