One more big effort needed- Van Dijk’s message ahead of Liverpool v Tottenham

Liverpool stand on the edge of glory. One more point. One final hurdle. And the Premier League title will be ours. As the Reds prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, captain Virgil van Dijk delivers a powerful message to the fans and his teammates in his matchday programme notes—a call to arms built on belief, focus, and the power of unity.

“One last push. One last job. One more moment for everyone to give their all. Just one more,” he writes.

Throughout the season, Van Dijk has preached the importance of staying locked in—on the next match, the next moment, the next challenge. It’s that mindset that’s propelled Liverpool to this point, refusing to be distracted by the noise, the pressure, or the prize just out of reach.

But Sunday isn’t just another game. Not this time.

Because everyone inside Anfield knows exactly what’s at stake. The weight of history. The roar of 50,000 voices. The dream that’s danced just beyond reach for too long.

“To lift the Premier League trophy is always special,” Van Dijk continues. “But to do it here, in front of these fans? That’s what we all dream about. That’s what we fight for.”

Still, the job isn’t done yet. And the captain knows it. The only way to finish the story is to keep writing it the way they always have—with intensity, grit, and the togetherness that’s brought them this far.

“We know what is on the line, but first and foremost we are professionals. We have a job to do, business to take care of. And as ever, I am expecting a very tough game.

“If I’ve learnt anything during my time in England, it’s that you should never take anything for granted when it comes to Premier League football.

“You have to earn every yard, every point, every victory. We saw that last weekend at Leicester and the weekend before against West Ham. We’ve seen it all season, how hard we’ve had to work to be in this position. We’ve had to give everything, week after week, game after game.
