Van Dijk believes last season's woes could be Liverpool's push to win trophies in 2025.
Liverpool endured a disappointing end to their previous season, finishing third in the Premier League after falling out of contention for the title and exiting at the Europa League quarter-finals.
But Liverpool are in a stronger position this season. They currently lead the Premier League table by six points and have a perfect record in the Champions League.
Van Dijk hailed the team's calm and focused approach, praising their work ethic and collective spirit as they continue to compete in all areas under Arne Slot.
“I think you learn from difficult moments,” he said after Liverpool's 2-1 win over Lille.
“Most of the guys in the dressing room now have experience from last year and that makes you better, You should be better prepared by being aware of how to deal with certain situations and situations. Of course.

“Right now, looking at our team, I'm calm.” We wear socks every day. We need to strip down almost every game and get everyone fit, healthy and in shape. That is the purpose.
“Playing every game with spirit is one game at a time. That's how it's always been. good ride I think you should be happy too, I definitely will.
Liverpool's performance did not go unnoticed. Brantford boss Thomas Frank recently described Lille striker Jonathan Davies as “the best team in the world”.
For Van Dyke, Such accolades are testament to the team's hard work. “I think it's a confirmation that we're on the right track,” he added.
“We try very hard to be a very tough team to beat every game.
“When other managers praise not only your attack but also your defense but also the team and the guys who get the ball back, it's a good sign for all the hard work everyone's put in. That's the only thing we have to take from it and just focus on doing that and being consistent.”
