Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate admits he's learning every day from captain Virgil van Dijk.
The pair have formed a formidable partnership at the back for the Reds.
Asked about the No1 lesson he's taken from Van Dijk, Konate joked with liverpoolfc.com: Do the long ball! [Laughs]
No, honestly, I can take so many things off Virg because I consider him to be the best defender in world football. I could make a long list of all the things that I've learned and I am still learning stuff from him, both in training and during games.
I can always improve and that is what you try to work on all the time. He has given me great advice and in some part that has helped me to become the player I am today.
He sees potential in me and wants me to become an even better defender."
Konate added: I want to try to reach his level and why not sometime in the future even try to be better than him."
