Reflecting on these growing pains, Szoboszlai offered this explanation:“I think everybody should have in them that ‘if he’s gone I have to stay, if he’s gone I have to stay’. Now he’s more of a 6 I think.

It’s made for me, because I like to fight against the ball, I love when we have the ball more than when they have the ball, but there’s going to be some times when they have the ball. The reaction all the time should be ‘I want the ball back’, and if you want the ball back you have to work for it.”As well as talking extensively about Liverpool’s midfield machinery as a whole, Szoboszlai also touched on his own personal situation at the club, looking back at his commitment to sign a new contract with the Reds over the summer.

I know we can do it, I really believe it and it’s time to show it because the words are sometimes big, now we have to act as well. I know and I really believe that this club, this team, this manager can achieve so much and be able to compete at the highest level for a very long time and in every competition and I really believe it, and I wanted to stay and be here after the last season to know this was a failure, which we learn from it and now we have to show it will not happen like that [again].”Finally, looking ahead toward the distant future of the club, the conversation turned to leadership.
