As Liverpool fc new captain, can Van Dijk return the team into their flying colours?
When it comes to being a captain, we all knows it comes with alot of respect and goodies, but irrespective of that they are a lot of challenges surrounding it also. It is not always that grocery as we thinks. People thinks that when you becomes a captain things has automatically changed for you, yes it is, but remembered that the challenges and expectations in it is something else. All captains out there have one primary aim, the aim is to ensure that under their regime they are able to lead their team to winning trophies and if at all they didn't win the trophies, they will love to see their team ranked among the best under their regime. All these are not that easy, it is just like the popular saying that states that when more is given, more is expected or rather still, to who more is given, more is also expected. I will judge from the captain's that I met while I started supporting the Liverpool fc team till date. I have seen Steven Gerrard reign as a Liverpool fc team and also Jordan Henderson. Right now I will be experiencing the reign of Van Dijk. The good thing about Van Dijk is that he is not new to this captain stuff, while he was at Southampton Fc we all knows how he captained his team and he did well. He was fantastic and amazing during his reign before he was signed to the Liverpool fc team. Well, I will be happy seeing him carrying such amazing reign to the Liverpool fc team. I just want to see him being a good successor to Jordan Henderson just like the way the just mentioned name (Jordan Henderson) did to Steven Gerrard.
When you talk of reign as a captain when it comes to the Liverpool fc team you know there is every tendency that you can't made mention of captains at Anfield without mentioning names like Steven Gerrard. To me I will say that Steven Gerrard is more than just a captain, he went from being a captain to a legend. He played his whole life for the team, he is a captain and a hero others should emulate, this is simply because Steven Gerrard loved the Liverpool fc team to the last and he stay put even when he retired. This is why I so much love him, he is just like King Kenny Daglish. It is so painful to see that he failed to win the English premier league under his reign after all the struggles. Despite that, he is still one of the best captain to wear the captain band at Anfield. Respect legend.
Well, if you are a Liverpool fc new cat supporter I believe by now you must have noticed how amazing Jordan Henderson reign is at Anfield. He has been one of the best captain the Liverpool fc team have produced. The shocking thing to me is that I never expected that he will do well being a captain at Anfield, he took me by surprise. I was thinking he was not capable to be Steven Gerrard successor, well, I am surprised to see such a good outcome. He went on to winning all the trophies that you can ever think out there. He went ahead to winning, Uefa champions league, Club world cup, FA cup, Carling cup, community shield, and the most sort out for, the English premier league trophy.
We all knows that his reign has not yet started but it is an amazing thing to seeing him wearing the captain armband. We all knows what Van Dijk is capable of doing, I am very sure that he will carry those positive drive into the team. He has been amazing as a player, just imagine him being a captain. Well, let us not judge a book by it cover and remember that Van Dijk can't do this alone. Being a captain is a collective effort, all players should come out and support his regime. I will be posting more about his regime as times goes on.
Aside being a captain, fans at this moment want result when it comes to making signings. The English premier league is around the corner.
