Slot hails ‘humble’ Liverpool star amid goalscoring form | OneFootball

Arne Slot believes Dominik Szoboszlai’s goalscoring form means the midfielder will start getting overdue ‘credit’ from those outside Liverpool circles.

Szoboszlai scored for the second straight game as Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 13 points. The Hungarian has had his critics for a lack of goal threat at Liverpool, but now has seven goals and six assists across all competitions this season.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Slot said he was delighted for the 24-year-old. He hopes Szoboszlai will start getting the same appreciation from others that he has long held at Liverpool for his humble work rate and quality.

“[I’m] very pleased for him because he’s the type of player that always looks for a teammate in a better position than him if he has a chance,” Slot said.

“That is also what you saw against Villa, when he played that ball square for Darwin [Nunez]. For him to be on the scoresheet now for a player that is as humble as he is when he gets a chance, but especially because of his unbelievable work-rate and what does for the team, he definitely deserves [it].

“I think he was Man of the Match today, or at least he came in with the trophy so I assume he was. He deserves the credit he is getting at the moment.

“He already got my credit every single time he played for us, but probably he gets it now even more from the people who are judging players not only on work-rate but also goals and assists.”
