EPL: Liverpool defender Van Dijk calls offside law change

By our reporter On Feb 28, 2022 0

Liverpool defender, Virgil van Dijk, has called for a change to the offside laws.

Van Dijk, speaking after winning the Carabao Cup final, says playing on when the referee intends to blow for offside should be outlawed.

He explained: “It’s very special (winning the Cup final). There was a lot of hard work that we expected before the match. A lot of calm nerves.

“It was an intense battle and offside goals were also a thing. The rule of just playing on is annoying.

“This is something we need to consider removing for next season. It gives unnecessary metres and tackles.”
