Liverpool captain Van Dijk: It's emotional; not just Klopp leaving us

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits manager Jurgen Klopp's planned departure is emotional.

Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Van Dijk told the Voetbal Internaional: "I am quite emotional and I always find it very difficult to say goodbye to people, which will certainly be the case now.

"It is not only the manager who is leaving the club. It's more people. Pepijn (Lijnders) is a really important figure in the dressing room and I could go on and on.

"I am not looking forward to saying goodbye at all, but we still have the chance to win more trophies together."
