The incident between Joshua Zirkzee and Virgil van Dijk in the tunnel prior to the Netherlands' match against Bosnia and Herzegovina was witnessed by the spectators. When the Netherlands faced Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League, Virgil van Dijk led the team. Fans are chatting about footage of Joshua Zirkzee and Virgil van Dijk before the Netherlands' match versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bosnia and the Netherlands played a UEFA Nations League match on Saturday night at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven. Goals by Zirkzee,Wout Weghorst, Tijani Reijnders, Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons helped Ronald Koeman's team win 5-2. The visitors' scorers on the night were Edin Dzeko and Ermedin Demirovic.
When video captured inside the tunnel prior to kickoff surfaced a few days after the game, supporters were keen to draw attention to what transpired between Van Dijk as well as Zirkzee. The Liverpool player said hello to teammates Nathan Ake, Bart Verbruggen, and Denzel Dumfries as he left.
Fans then noticed that Van Dijk seemed to stroll right by Zirkzee and then shake hands with Jerdy Schouten. Additionally, there was no communication amongst Van Dijk as well as Xavi Simons in the video. Van Dijk might have hugged Simons and Zirkzee beforehand before leaving the locker room, though.

“I want to play another World Cup” : Virgil van Dijk
After losing in the UEFA Euros semifinal, Virgil van Dijk had been thinking about giving up on his career, but he has since changed his mind and is focussing on the 2026 World Cup. The 33-year-old was overcome with emotion following his disappointment with the UEFA Euro 2024 this summer.
Liverpool's captain played 5,395 minutes in 64 games throughout an intense and demanding season, but he has since had time to reevaluate his position. Van Dijk spoke following the Netherlands' Saturday night 5-2 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina, as reported by X user @TheEuropeanLad.
The former Southampton defender said, “I want to play another World Cup. I know I am still more than good enough. I am the captain of Liverpool, a consistent factor and I feel excellent physically while I am improving on the ball too.”
