Virgil van Dijk has given his verdict on a viral song performed by TikTok’s most infamous Liverpool fan, and it’s safe to say he’s not impressed.
Songs have been part of football for hundreds of years, but the defender doesn’t believe a new chant by @pete_bocThere is a chance that you will make it to the terraces.
Van Dijk was appearing on the Pitch Side podcast to talk about all things Liverpool, and he was shown videos by one of the club’s most prolific followers on social media.
Pete Boc clips have been viewed thousands times. His most famous clip is about Darwin Nunez, the striker.

This song is to Alice Deejay’s ‘Better off Alone,’ and has gained a lot of fame online.
It includes the following lyrics: “Darwin, Darwin Nunez, he came from Benfica to the big Reds, it’s frightening with him and Luis Diaz. There is nobody else like Darwin Nunez.”
Van Dijk lost his words after being shown the video.
“Is this serious, or? I love the support though but I don’t think that will go on the Kop, for example – if I’m absolutely honest. It’s nice to get the support though,”He said.
So, don’t expect the song to be sung inside Anfield anytime soon…
The hosts of Pitch Side podcast then suggested that Pete make a song for Van Dijk instead – and he wasn’t keen on that idea either.
“It’s nice to get the support,” he said, but didn’t go as far as suggesting he pen a tune for him.
