The best Premier League player, recognized as Liverpool's defensive pillar Virgil Van Dijk, pays no attention to compliments and carefully prepares for the UEFA Champions League semi-final series against Barcelona.
The Dutchman tried to ignore questions about the possibility of future Ballon d'Or contention.
"No, I don't think about that at all right now. I am happy with my current stable performances and physical form. I think we shouldn't look too far ahead," - clarified the 27-year-old V. Van Dijk.
"Right now we are fighting for the Premier League title, we have reached the Champions League semi-finals, where we will face a fantastic team with the best footballers. It's time to focus on the midweek match against the Catalans, and then prepare for our clash against Newcastle - my personal goals are only related to Liverpool," the Dutchman said.
