On Wednesday night, Dominik Szoboszlai’s spectacular goal during Liverpool’s 3-1 Carabao Cup triumph over Leicester City lit up Anfield.
The Hungarian has made an immediate impact at Anfield since joining the team from RB Leipzig this summer, and he is showing no signs of slowing down after making his most recent noteworthy contribution while wearing the Reds jersey.
Few could have predicted the 22-year-old would have such a great first season at Liverpool, but Jurgen Klopp won’t be grumbling after reaping the benefits of his midfield signing.
Those who follow Szoboszlai on a weekly basis have been blown away since seeing the Reds’ No. 8 in action, and it hasn’t taken long for him to leave a mark on them.
Szoboszlai came close to scoring in the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in August, but his bold effort was parried, and Diogo Jota was on hand to score, impressing Garth Crooks. He can definitely play, Crooks wrote in his BBC Sport column. Szoboszlai, a recent addition to Liverpool, seemed like he wanted to be actively involved in the game against Bournemouth and displayed all the skills of a competent player. Someone at Anfield needs to explain to him what that number signifies and who has worn it before him if he’s going to wear the number eight shirt for Liverpool.
“Sammy Lee, Brian Hall, Jimmy Case, and Steven Gerrard, who made the jersey famous, have all distinguished themselves while donning that outfit. Szoboszlai should
Following the weekend victory over West Ham United, former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock recently repeated similar remarks. He’s a great football player, Warnock said. “When you consider his overall game, his athleticism makes him look like a beast of a player. He has that second, third, and fourth gear to breeze past players and complete a pass.”
After learning of the Hungary captain’s move to Merseyside, Graeme Souness had high expectations for him and predicted that he would succeed at his new club alongside Alexis MacAllister. “I like Szoboszlai, and I love Mac Allister,” Souness declared. We’ll have to wait and see with (Wataru) Endo. Being well-received when competing in the Bundesliga doesn’t guarantee success in the Premier League.
No other new Premier League player, according to Paul Merson, a former midfielder for Arsenal, has been able to match the impact of the £60 million deal. After what felt like one of the longest international vacations in history, the Premier League is back, as Merson noted in his Sportskeeda blog before to Liverpool’s trip to Wolves after the break. The 2023–24 season has just had four game weeks, but there has already been a lot of activity and unexpected results, and a few new signings have laid the groundwork for what is to come.
“Dominik Szoboszlai has, in my opinion, been the greatest of the bunch. I hadn’t seen the young man much while he was at RB Leipzig, but He hasn’t had a terrible game yet, which has really impressed me. He recently scored a world-class goal and does a little bit of everything; he will be outstanding for Liverpool in the years to come.
However, not everyone was a fan of Szoboszlai. Micah Richards gave his assessment of Liverpool’s new signing before the season’s first weekend, but he remained unconvinced about the kid and his capacity to learn English football. He said on the podcast The Rest Is Football, “Szoboszlai is a good player, but I don’t know if he can handle the pace of the league.” “I believe he will be a slow burner.”
Szoboszlai’s teammates reacted quickly to his incredible goal against Leicester Wednesday evening, and Jude Bellingham also left a comment after seeing his potent effort. Endo remarked, “What a goal.” Keep sipping mate, a South American herbal tea, said Mac Allister. Bellingham said, “Szobooo,” adding a rocket emoji to the sentence.
