Van Dijk also mentioned that the team had a separate meeting with their manager, Arne Slot, to discuss the game and their performance. He stressed the importance of staying together, improving, and maintaining confidence, especially in a world where there's always noise and criticism.

Van Dijk wanted to remind his teammates that it's not easy to stay focused, but it's necessary to get out of a difficult situation. He stated that the team's mood was low before the meeting, but it turned around after the discussion. The team has since bounced back with a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
