(Reuters) - Virgil van Dijk said he is using the pain of the Netherlands' World Cup penalty shootout defeat to eventual champions Argentina as fuel to get Liverpool's season back on track.
Van Dijk was one of two Dutch players to miss in the shootout after an ill-tempered quarter-final ended 2-2.
"It has ... motivated me here . We are quite some points behind Arsenal but the season could be a very crazy one, a very strange one," he added. The World Cup quarter-final against Argentina had 16 yellow cards and one sending off, with Van Dijk involved in an altercation with Leandro Paredes where he shoved the midfielder to the ground.
" was obviously something I don't normally do but it was the heat of the moment and we are all human beings, these things happen," Van Dijk said.
