The "Liverpool" club drew 1:1 with "Sunderland" in the English championship.

After the match, captain Virgil van Dijk praised star players Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz:

"M. Salah is a fantastic player. We still have to remember that there is a reason why the Egyptian has been so successful, and we have to respect that.

I need him as one of the leaders of the 'Scousers.' I'm not worried about his form."

"There is a very good reason why a club like 'Liverpool' bought F. Wirtz: he is an incredible player and, in my opinion, a world-class footballer.

He can be even better, but that will take some more time. He has to remain the same, neither rise too high nor fall too low."

The "Liverpool" club shares 7th-8th places in the English championship with 22 points.
