Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk urged his team to cull the sloppiness seen in their recent English Premier League game against Burnley — a 1-1 draw — and put up an effervescent display right until the final whistle in front of a hostile crowd when they take on Marseille in their group-stage clash of the UEFA Champions League here on Wednesday.

“I’m frustrated that after 60 minutes we started to become sloppy [vs Burnley]. We have to address that on Wednesday, because it will be a very, very difficult game. We have to be more than 95 minutes ready on the biggest stage. Not only because of the stage, the hostile atmosphere, but we play against a [Roberto] De Zerbi team that makes it very difficult for you,” said a wary van Dijk. Having won four of their six UCL matches so far, the Reds (in ninth place) require a solitary point to confirm their place in the Play-off round. However, if they finish in the Top 8, they’ll gain direct access to the Round of 16, which van Dijk admitted will be their target.
