What Levi Colwill said to Virgil van Dijk on the pitch last season that annoyed him during Liverpool vs Chelsea
If there’s any player in the Premier League you don’t want to annoy, it’s Virgil van Dijk.
The Liverpool captain is one of the scariest players in the game today. Van Dijk might be the strongest playerꦰ in the wo🍸rld, and he can physi♈cally dominate any of his opponents.
It would take a brave man to purposefully get on the wrong side of Van Dijk.
Unfortunately, Levi Colwill has been in that exact position, a𝔉lbeit accidentally.
Indeed, speaking to TNT Sports, Colwill has sha🐬red how he accidentally annoyed Van Dijk on the pitch last season.

How Levi Colwill annoyed Virgil van Dijk
Colwill shared the story of how heꦕ accidentally 🉐annoyed Van Dijk.
The Chelsea defender says that he told Van Dijk to s♛hut up whil💖e he was marking him, but he quickly realised his error.
Colwill went on to say that he actually does have serious admiration for Van Dijk, and he regrets disrespectinဣg him.
“When was the first time you playe♊d against an𓂃 idol, someone you really rated?” Colwill was asked.
“Probably when we played Liverpool last season. I played against Virg for the first time and I remember marking him in the box. He said something to me, and I said ‘shut up’ accidentally or something like that and he just looked at me like ‘who is this little boy?’ and I was like ‘ah, I’ve disrespected him’. It is what it is. My bad, you ꧙just look at him and think I want to be like that or better when I’m older if I could,’ Colwill said.
Liverpool like Levi Colwill
Colwill wound Van Dijk up ⭕during their game last season, and, ironically, in another world, these two could’ve been teammates.
Indeed, Liverpool have been linked with Colwill in the past, and the Red⛄s are still admirers of Colwill.
Chelsea, of course, didn’t sell Colwill to Liverpool, and he has since es🤡tablished himself as one of the Blues’ most 𒊎important players, starting all 11 league games so far this season.
Liverpool are looking for a new centre-back, and who knows? Perhaps Colwill could once again be on the Reds’ transf🌄er radar as Liverpool look to bolster their backline.
If Colwill does eventually end up being a Liverpool player, he ꦜmay have to have a bit of an awkward conversation with Van Dijk about this incident.
Colwill has a brigh𒁏t future in the game, and, as he says, he hopes to become a player at Van Dijk’s level once he’s fully developed and matured as a player.
