Liverpool starlet seeking to emulate Van Dijk in new role

Liverpool youngster Conor Bradley wants to “lead by example” like his teammate Virgil van Dijk after being handed the captaincy at international level. 

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill has said he will rotate the armband around his squad following Jonny Evans’ retirement from international football in August.

The right-back led the side in heir goalless draw with Belarus last week, and does so again when they face Bulgaria on Tuesday evening.

Bradley is looking to take inspiration from the Liverpool skipper and emulate the defender’s approach to leadership.
