Virgil van Dijk says competing on all fronts is ‘bare minimum’ for Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool captain, has stated that competing on all fronts is the "bare minimum" for the club this season. Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, finished 10 points clear last season and are preparing for their title defense. Van Dijk's comments come as the club has invested almost £300m in new players, indicating their determination to build on their success. The Reds will face Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on Sunday, which serves as a final tune-up before their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday. Van Dijk's remarks suggest that Liverpool's ambitions extend beyond just retaining the league title, with the club aiming to compete for all available trophies this season.
