Dominik Szoboszlai has shared insights on how the growing chemistry in Liverpool’s midfield has propelled the team into an impressive start to the Arne Slot era.
The Reds have secured six victories in their first seven matches under their new head coach, competing in the Premier League, Champions League, and Carabao Cup.
A midfield trio consisting of Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister has started in six of these games, with the exception being Wednesday night’s commanding 5-1 victory over West Ham United in the third round of the League Cup.
Dominik Szoboszlai is relishing the early stages of what promises to be a fruitful partnership among the three players.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: “I think all of us are similar players and we know from each other that we can trust each other: so, we can swap places, we look at each other [and] we understand each other.
“Both of them are amazing players so I am more than happy to play with them.”
The Hungary skipper added: “Yeah, a lot.
“Last year he didn’t have so much chance to show himself but I think if he gets the trust from the coach, this is actually Ryan.
“So, he is really important for us and also in the midfield he knows that sometimes he is the player who has to stay more back, but also sometimes if he goes then he knows we [will] stay.
“So, we understand each other and that’s helped us a lot.
“Well, I don’t know.
“Last year I spoke too much about titles and everything and of course we won one [trophy] and we had the chance to be up there until almost the very end.
“But we go game by game: there could be 65 more games in this season, so it’s going to be a really intense season for everybody, each of us, and we want to be there in all competitions – Champions League, Carabao Cup, Premier League [and FA Cup].
“But that’s going to take time.
On the Wolves game on Saturday at Molineux, he continued: “It’s always hard to play there.
“Everybody knows last year we were 1-0 down and then we could turn the game to our side, but even if they had a bad start [to this season] then somehow they want to get us, take the three points and they are going to work hard for it.
“But we are ready also to work for it harder.”
