**Virgil van Dijk has revealed that Arne Slot was the most angry he has ever seen him at half-time in Liverpool’s eventual 3-1 win at home to Southampton.**
The Reds were disappointing at times on Saturday afternoon, especially during a dire first half, but they eventually got the job done in the Premier League, thanks to Darwin Nunez’s equaliser and two Mohamed Salah penalties.
Slot was watching on from the stands and it is clear that he was fuming at the break, with Van Dijk confirming as much after the game \[via [_This Is Anfield_](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2025/03/virgil-van-dijk-says-arne-slot-had-every-right-to-deliver-angry-liverpool-team-talk/)\].
“Yes, but if you look at the first half, he had every right to be angry,” Van Dijk said.
With Arsenal drawing at Manchester United in the league on Sunday, Liverpool have edged one step closer to the league title, but there is no reason why they can’t also go all the way in the Champions League.
