00:00 The exchanges I had with Van Dijk were that the return match was going to be very intense,

00:07 especially at home. But they know we're a good team, and we know that it's a very good team.

00:14 Now they have injured players too, we have some too. Now it's not an excuse,

00:19 there's quality to replace these players who are absent today.

00:23 We hope we'll get a good result there.

00:27 Van Dijk has done what very few defenders have done in football.

00:35 He's a great defender, I'm learning a lot from him.

00:41 My goal, and I think he knows it, is to become better than him.

00:46 I had some great models at this position, like Sergio Ramos, who I followed a lot.

00:52 He was my number one.
