Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool’s most valuable rookie in the summer of 2023, quickly proved his excellence and talent on the pitch.
The former RB Leipzig star has almost defeated all skepticism when bringing in an impressive playing style. While many people compare Szoboszlai’s play to Jordan Henderson, the writer personally sees the shadow of the legendary Steven Gerrard being recreated.
His finishing skills, long shots, passing and the ability to smash, and coordinate 1-2 with teammates, all recall the glorious moments of Stevie G. In particular, the situation where he danced in the ring. Bournemouth’s ban on Salah’s 11m penalty epitomizes talent and cunning. What Liverpool lacked after Coutinho’s time.
From his first game as a guest at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, Dominik Szoboszlai showed himself not only as a talented player but also as a leader on the pitch, helping the home team retain a valuable point.
Back to the match last night, the time when Mac Allister was disqualified, it was thought that the Liverpool midfield would soon collapse. However, in fact, on the contrary, The Kop still maintains tremendous pressure thanks to the energy from Szoboszlai.
The midfield is inherently 3 people with Dominik – Mac Allister – Alexander Arnold. But Trend yesterday kicked like a handicap when there were many deplorable broken phases and Bournemouth’s opening goal also came from his mistake. Mac Allister was sent off for an unwarranted tackle midway through the second half.
In that context, Szoboszlai alone has balanced Liverpool’s midfield despite facing Bournemouth’s powerful midfield. And it feels like the Red Brigade’s midfield is even more active than before.
Similar to what Steven Gerrard has done in the past, Dominic Szoboszlai on the pitch has led many to believe that Jurgen Klopp has found a second leader in the shadow of the legendary captain.
It is not known whether Liverpool need to look for more midfielders or not, but the presence of the Hungarian star has brought a breath of fresh air, increasing strength and determination to the whole team.
In the next match with the absence of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai’s role is more important than ever. Let’s wait and see Klopp’s talent and the promising performance of the most expensive rookie at Anfield in the summer of 2023.
