Overview
- Szoboszlai told Steven Gerrard on TNT Sports that Liverpool must change their level of intensity and that “no one can stop us” if the squad rediscovers that tempo.
- He publicly endorsed new head coach Andoni Iraola’s direct, high-pressing approach and said he sought advice from Milos Kerkez to understand Iraola’s methods.
- The 25-year-old has been promoted into Liverpool’s leadership group as a vice-captain and says he is expected to help drive standards on and off the pitch.
- Szoboszlai said Iraola has made clear he is not intended as a long-term right-back but confirmed he will cover the position if the team needs him while stressing his preference for a box-to-box No.8 role.
- Liverpool have dropped points early in the season against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, and Szoboszlai warned that embedding Iraola’s demanding, physical style is the next step if the club wants to return to consistent title-challenging form.
