Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk reveals the one thing he does to stay in prime condition Virgil van Dijk has let fans in on his secret to staying at the top of his game: a strict routine of breathing exercises and meditation.
"Meditation is definitely something we do now and I try to do breathing exercises now and then in the evenings, and get into a nice, calming state," Van Dijk said.
He candidly shared how meditation and relaxation techniques play a critical role in coping with the immense pressures of football, especially during a season that has so far seen Slot's team battle on four fronts.
"I feel like it helps as well, every little bit that makes you recover well or sleep well, or lets you feel relaxed and not stressed, helps.".
Despite being required to deliver consistently strong performances on the pitch, Van Dijk says he gives equal importance to off-pitch recovery methods.
