Micah Richards has now been discussing an incident he saw during Liverpool’s remarkable win over Chelsea at Wembley yesterday.
Jurgen Klopp watched his makeshift side produce a special result, one that underlined everything that’s been so good about his era at the club.
At the end of the match, Klopp had a team full of inexperienced youngsters, being helped home by some stalwarts of his illustrious tenure.
And whilst the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher and Virgil van Dijk were perhaps the standouts, there were plenty of displays to enjoy.
But when watching the game, Micah Richards was particularly impressed by Van Dijk, who he thought had done remarkably well to recover from a serious injury.
Richards was talking on ‘The Rest Is Football’ podcast after the game and was amazed at level the centre-back was still maintaining.
And when praising his performance, Richards also recalled a moment when Van Djik was bellowing commands at his own Liverpool teammates yesterday, making sure standards never dropped against Chelsea.
