Van Dijk explained that he was determined to make sure Hansen was involved in the celebration. He was glad that Hansen was feeling well after being ill last season and thought he deserved to have a moment with the trophy.

Van Dijk also mentioned that he had spoken to Hansen about a photo they took a few years ago and wanted to recreate a special moment together. Although they didn't speak before the event, the team made it happen and Hansen was brought back onto the pitch after the trophy lift for a few photos.

Van Dijk was happy that he could make this special moment happen for Hansen, who is a respected figure in the Liverpool community. The gesture showed the team's appreciation for Hansen's contributions to the club and their commitment to honoring their legends.
