Rooney is worried about Van Dijk: “Get used to the time of 12.30” – Five Leagues – Football – B92.sport

Everton won 2:0 at “Goodison” and thus dealt a big blow to Liverpool players’ hopes of reaching the jubilee, 20th title.

With four rounds to go, Jurgen Klopp’s men are three points behind leaders Arsenal.

After the match, Virgil van Dijk tried to justify the defeat to “Caramel”, saying among other things that now it is time to “concentrate again on the 12.30 clash with West Ham”.

Rooney was very harsh in his commentary of the match.

“Sorry, but a troubling thing here, and I think it’s happened a lot this season. He is the captain and talks about how Liverpool are the best in that fight. And again we hear complaints about that time slot of 12:30 p.m., and that’s because he lost the derby! Well, now he and everyone from Liverpool should be wishing they were on the pitch tomorrow morning. Because when you lose a match, especially a derby, you want the next match to come quickly. We have heard many times from the Liverpool camp about those 12.30 matches. Accept it! It’s part of your job, they should be ready for it“, Rooney is clear.

It was not only Van Dijk who complained about the game being played on Saturday at that time, but also manager Jurgen Klopp.

“We have to recover mentally and physically and play again on Saturday from 12:30. It will be awkward, we all know, but we have to be readyKlopp said.

He also complained in November that the time of their match with Manchester City was moved from 17:30 to 12:30.

However, Rooney forgot that he, as a player, often complained when United got that inconvenient term.

Some recalled how in October 2011 he published a message with sarcastic content on Twitter.

“Trying to get you to eat pasta at 9am is not a nice thing to do” Rooney wrote at the time.
