Virgil van Dijk’s love for Joel Matip hits new heights with hilarious clip | OneFootball

Liverpool’s official Twitter account has shared some clips from behind the scenes of the new kit launch and it looks as though Virgil van Dijk’s love for defensive partner Joel Matip knows no bounds.

The Reds wore their new kit for the first time on the final day of last season and, of course, with that comes a whole host of marketing and images that sees the players donning the new jersey.

It looks like those involved had some fun taking part in the shooting day, too, with Virgil van Dijk taking the opportunity to share the love for Joel Matip fire this amusing clip:

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Matip has earned himself cult hero status at Liverpool for the way he seems to generate the most amusing facial expressions you’ll see from a player on the pitch.

He looks like the kind of person that’s funny without even trying to be and it’s clear he’s got a real fan in his defensive team-mate Virgil van Dijk.

Our favourite bit of the clip is where the Dutchman remarks ‘what a sight’ as Matip poses for photos in the new kit.
