Liverpool have published a video of the Dutch defender with several children who met him in an unplanned way to discuss and ask him questions.
"I am frustrated. I was expecting to meet Mohamed Salah instead."
Van Dyck met the words of the boy, who wore a Liverpool shirt with a calm smile, and accepted it before continuing his conversation with him.
The child softened things a little to direct the Dutch rock again, saying: "But well, it does not matter much now."
Another girl asked Van Dyke about being the best defender in the world. "This is the opinion of many around the world, but some people think there are others who deserve this title," he said.
