Crystal Palace equalised the score in the second half of the Community Shield match against Liverpool. This goal made Liverpool fans realise that Reds’ defence needs some improvements.
Van Dijk and Konate pair is considered to be one of the toughest in the Premier League. But let’s be clear, the defence in the second half was disappointing.
Just look at this episode, the Van Dijk is the only one moving to make an offside trap but this is the move that has to be done perfectly or it could end badly.
And this is exactly what happened.
Probably, Van Dijk had to play with his player trying to catch him, instead of this reckless move towards the ball.
