“Perfect weather if you’re a duck” – Robertson leaves Van Dijk scratching his head in training
Liverpool’s mood at the AXA Training Centre remains upbeat despite the growing pressure of the season, but one moment during a recent session left Virgil van Dijk genuinely puzzled — thanks to Andrew Robertson.
As the players made their way onto the training pitches, under what appeared to be classic wet English conditions, Robertson suddenly offered an unexpected observation about the weather.
Without warning, the Scottish left-back casually remarked that it was an excellent day to be a duck.
The comment immediately caught the attention of Liverpool’s captain. Van Dijk, clearly unsure he’d heard correctly, stopped in his tracks and asked Robertson to repeat himself.
“What?” came the confused response.
Robertson, completely unfazed, simply doubled down on his point — a duck.
Van Dijk could only pause in silence, processing the bizarre remark before carrying on, still looking unconvinced by his teammate’s logic.
The exchange quickly became a reminder of Robertson’s reputation for bringing humour and randomness to the squad, even during intense training sessions. While Liverpool remain focused on their on-field objectives, moments like this show the relaxed, playful atmosphere still present within the camp.
Whether it truly was perfect weather for a duck remains debatable — but Robertson’s comment certainly succeeded in leaving his captain utterly baffled 🦆😄
