Dominik Szoboszlai gave an explanation of his goals for Anfield this year and revealed a bit about his relationship with Erling Haaland.
The 22-year-old made an impression against Bournemouth on his maiden start at Anfield last week, winning the hearts of the Liverpool supporters right away.
The midfielder stated what he hopes to do in his debut season on Merseyside before the Reds’ trip to Newcastle on Sunday, and he’s set some high standards.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the Hungarian said: “We will see. We have a lot of games. [Manchester City] mainly have a lot of games and we have to play against them as well. I think everybody in the Premier League who has a chance to win, they are going to want to win anyway. We are thinking the same. Like, I am thinking the same but probably the other guys are going to think the same if you ask them.
“I am this type, I like to win, I like to do everything for the team. If they ask me if I want to win the Premier League, of course I want to win it. If I want to win the Europa League and the FA Cup, the same. Everything we can do this year. I want to win everything because nobody is going to ask you how it feels to be second.”
He also touched upon his friendship with Manchester City’s prolific striker: “He is probably [living] two houses next to me. We were speaking but they played the [Super Cup] final in Greece, we have our trainings, we also play away. It is going to take time until we find a solution and we see each other. We will see.”
Szoboszlai appears to be completely at ease in the center of Liverpool’s midfield and is also aware of what it takes to succeed. He has nine medals to his name in six seasons of senior football, most recently the German Cup in June with Leipzig.
He scored that evening in Berlin, and it is obvious that he hopes to repeat the feat at Anfield.
There is still a lot more football to be played before the midfielder can reach his own expectations at the end of the season. When Liverpool travels to Newcastle later on Sunday, the Hungarian will almost definitely start from the opening kickoff.
