Ferdinand: I really appreciate Van Dijk s response to Rooney, players must have personality

Hupu November 04 News Recently, Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel that after seeing Van Dijk publicly respond to Rooney's criticism of him, he thought this behavior was "great".

Ferdinand said: "I admire what Liverpool captain Van Dijk did so much - he stood up and said, 'I don't accept what people are saying, I don't agree with this view, and I don't agree with that evaluation.' I think this is great."

"This is exactly what you want and what the team needs, You need players with character and distinct personalities. Whether you agree with Van Dijk's point of view or not, that is another matter, but I appreciate his "not to be trifled with" attitude: after he sees and hears these remarks, he will stand up and say, "No, I don't accept it, and I will refute it publicly."

"Salah has been at Liverpool for a long time. How long? Seven years or eight years? He is the team's top scorer and has broken all kinds of records. But now, just because he has been in a downturn for a few months - in some people's eyes, maybe three or four months - the situation has changed. "

"Are you crazy to say, 'He shouldn't start' and 'We should sell him'? During the seven or eight years he has played for the team, his statistics and contributions have been ridiculously good, helping the team regain its honor. Just because his performance has fluctuated slightly recently and his confidence has been frustrated, perhaps because his performance has declined and he is not in his best condition, you are thinking of finding someone else to replace him? "

"This is simply ridiculous. "
