Virgil van Dijk admits Liverpool's FA Cup loss hurts: 'But you shouldn't give up'
"I can only apologise to the fans for what we have shown, especially the second half. Obviously you come out with the right intentions from the dressing room, to hopefully score for 2-1 as soon as possible to change the game. The opposite happens and to come back from 3-0 is obviously very difficult here -- but also you shouldn't give up and that's maybe, at a certain point, what happened."
"We let our fans down, we let ourselves down, and the manager. The way we played in the second half, especially, must hurt for everyone. It definitely hurts me."
"It's a together thing, isn't it? Obviously he's responsible as the manager but we are the ones on the pitch that have to do it. The matter of fact is now, PSG are waiting for us. I watched them Friday a little bit. It will be so tough again. So we have to be ready mentally as soon as possible."
"I've been lucky enough to play for Liverpool for so many years. The main thing we always had was togetherness. Now obviously are in a little bit of a transition we have to find it. It's difficult to perform every two days if you don't have it consistently."
Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk expressed disappointment after a 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final loss to Manchester City. He criticized the team's performance, particularly in the second half, where they failed to maintain their initial intentions. Van Dijk acknowledged the difficulty of coming back from a 3-0 deficit and emphasized the need for togetherness as they prepare for an upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. He recognized the pressure on manager Arne Slot and the challenges of consistent performance during a transitional phase for the team.
