"I'm feeling a mix of emotions," Van Dijk said after the match. "We're disappointed we didn't win the Community Shield, which was our goal. We had chances to win and avoid penalties, but it didn't go our way.

"It's the end of our pre-season, and now we need to be prepared for the upcoming season. We'll work hard to get ready for Bournemouth's visit.

Van Dijk noted that the team has experience with both winning and losing. He believes this loss should motivate the team to improve in a few areas to retain the title. "We have a recovery day tomorrow and then we'll focus on Bournemouth, which will be a tough game," he said.

Van Dijk is looking forward to the start of the Premier League. He's excited for the emotional atmosphere at Anfield on Friday, where the team will face Bournemouth in front of their fans.

Van Dijk is optimistic about the upcoming season, despite the loss. "I'm really looking forward to it," he said.
