Van Dijk surprised ten-year-old fan:’ He can’t believe it yet’.

Virgil van Dijk has pleasantly surprised a young supporter of Liverpool. When the ten-year-old Rocco Daly came home early this week after school, he found a gift from the defender of Liverpool. Van Dijk had sent a signed shirt to Rocco, who demanded attention at the end of December with an enthusiastic greeting from Van Dijk on Anfield.

When the Dutchman’s move was just finished, he entered the match between Liverpool and Leicester City on 30 December. Van Dijk was greeted by Rocco, but had no time to say something back. Later he asked the club management to trace the boy so that Van Dijk could thank him personally. The young Rocco turned out to be a season ticket holder and visits all Liverpool’s home matches with his father.

The ten-year-old Rocco Daly greeted Virgil van Dijk at the end of last month enthusiastically on Anfield, but the defender had no time to say anything back. Later on Van Dijk asked the club management to trace the boy, and this week when Rocco came home from school, he found a package with a signed shirt by Van Dijk,”It was the best day ever” #lfc #lfc #liverpoolfc #vandijk.

“He was completely bewildered when he came out of school and opened the package. He couldn’t believe it. I think he still can’t do that,”says Jason, Rocco’s father, on the club’s website,”he was bouncing all evening. He showed the shirt to his brother and phoned his grandmother, uncle and other family members. He couldn’t even sleep that evening and was still in ecstasy the next morning, when we brought him to school.

“I think it’s a fantastic gesture from Virgil. He hadn’t had to do it, but that he did, means everything for Rocco and me. He made my little boy very happy. We cannot thank him enough,”said Jason. Rocco himself briefly says:”It was the best day ever. I cannot thank Virgil enough. I will frame the shirt and store it forever.
