Liverpool is having a tough season, but they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The start of the season was hard for Arne Slot’s team after the sudden loss of Diogo Jota, which affected the players’ confidence. However, things have improved, and Liverpool is now aiming for a top-four spot. They recently advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup and are in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Reds won their last Premier League match 1-0 against Sunderland, with Virgil van Dijk scoring the decisive goal. Van Dijk also expressed confidence that Dominik Szoboszlai will one day be captain.

Van Dijk commented on whether Szoboszlai could become captain, saying, “That’s all on the manager I think. I don’t know. Yeah. He has been very good. Also, he can take the next step in being a leader for this team.”
“He leads by example, which is something he has done well this season. There is still progress to be made, and that’s positive, so hopefully, he will play an important role for Liverpool in the future.”
Szoboszlai Proving His Worth
The 25-year-old Hungarian international is having a great season, showing his versatility by even playing as a right-back. He has scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
His skill in set-pieces and strong work ethic are significant assets. His ability to perform at a high level in different positions makes him a vital player for Arne Slot’s squad.
