Virgil van Dijk sparked online discussion after an incident in the tunnel before the Netherlands’ 5-2 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina.
As the Dutch captain greeted his teammates before the match, he appeared to bypass Joshua Zirkzee, who later went on to score during the game.
The moment raised eyebrows, with some fans speculating about the nature of the interaction. However, closer observations and reports suggest that there was no ill intent behind the apparent snub, despite some rumours related to club loyalties.
Van Dijk, a prominent Liverpool player, and Zirkzee, who has a connection with Manchester United, were later seen celebrating together on the field. This interaction during the game strongly indicates that there’s no tension or animosity between the two players.
Though the initial incident drew attention, the post-match celebrations and teamwork show that the Dutch squad remains united, with no signs of a rift between the teammates.
