Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk enjoyed a reunion away from the high-stakes pressure of the international circuit, bumping into his former manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutch defender is currently captaining the Netherlands at the tournament, while Klopp has been taking in the matches as a spectator and pundit during his break from management.
Photos show a relaxed conversation between the pair that brought a wave of nostalgia to supporters on social media.
Van Dijk has been under heavy scrutiny back home following a tense draw against Japan, where he scored but faced sharp criticism from Dutch TV pundits regarding his positioning.
Meeting up with his former mentor provides a timely psychological boost for the veteran centre-back, who faces an immense leadership task back at Liverpool this summer with fellow senior figures like Mo Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate moving on.
