Virgil van Dijk has unveiled a new hairstyle, drawing widespread approval from Liverpool supporters. The captain shared pictures on Instagram of himself in a barbershop with cornrows, a notable change from his usual bun.
New Look After Victory
The post came after Van Dijk led Liverpool to a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak secured the victory before Eddie Nketiah scored a consolation in stoppage time.
The result moved the Reds up to fourth in the Premier League heading into the international break. Van Dijk is set to join the Netherlands squad for a Nations League match against Greece in Amsterdam on Friday, followed by a trip to Germany next Monday.
Fan and Teammate Reactions
The Instagram update has attracted significant attention, with more than 40,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and Dutch teammate Denzel Dumfries both left fire emojis, while Van Dijk's wife Rike added a heart emoji.
Fans expressed their enthusiasm for the new style. One commented: "I absolutely love this." Another wrote: "Finally our captain switched looks." A third said: "Boss lad," and a fourth added: "Your style game is next level!"
One supporter joked that Van Dijk had "copied" the look of Jeremy Jacquet, his centre-back partner at Liverpool.
