Virgil van Dijk on media criticism:
“I won’t say it’s easy because there is just so much noise. For the next generation it will be very difficult. It is getting ridiculous at times. There are more and more and more platforms and Mo [Salah] and myself always keep saying that to the younger players: stay off social media.
Often you hear: “You have to just deal with it.” No, it doesn’t work like that, because you shouldn’t be able to deal with all of that constantly. Let’s just play football. That’s what they did ten, 20 years ago, and everyone got a legendary status.
“Those platforms are all about clicks, clicks, clicks, and who wants to be the first. For the next generation — Rio [Ngumoha] and young boys like that, academy boys — OK, brace yourself!
For example, I spoke to Amara Nallo [after he was sent off against Crystal Palace] and said: “Don’t go on social media, be with your family.” We had a long conversation. I spoke to him when he was sent off against PSV Eindhoven [last January] as well. If he would then go on social media, you never know what might happen. It’s a very dangerous place.”
