Van Dijk uncertain on his future

England defeated Netherlands 2-1 to advance to Sunday’s final against Spain in Berlin.

Van Dijk, 33, said he will carefully consider his future with both his club and country.

The Oranje captain has earned 75 caps in his nine years with the Netherlands team.

Meanwhile, Van Dijk has one season left on his contract at Liverpool.

“I haven’t the slightest idea right now. I will think carefully this summer about what I want at club level and as an international player. Then we’ll go for it again, but first recover from this,” Van Dijk told reporters.

“It gets emotional”

Van Dijk was emotional after Netherlands was eliminated in the tournament.

Xavi Simons gave Dutch an early lead with his goal in the seventh minute.

However, the controversy began when VAR ruled that defender Denzel Dumfries tackled Harry Kane, and referee Felix Zwayer awarded a spot kick to the England captain.

Kane converted his penalty in the 18th minute to level the game, and Ollie Watkins sealed the deal with a late goal in the 90th minute.

“After a season like this, where all kinds of things have happened, it gets emotional at the end because you know it’s over,” Van Dijk said.

“Especially in the second half I had the feeling the outcome would fall our way. But [Ollie] Watkins was perhaps given a little too much space and he finished well.”

“It hurts a lot that we conceded this goal so late in the match and are now empty-handed. You put everything into it, everyone gives everything and if the goal comes like that in the last minute, that just sucks. Yes … sorry.”
