Szoboszlai’s performance against Aston Villa certainly got fans talking on social media, with many hailing his impact as a future Liverpool captain.
One fan said: “Szoboszlai looks like the boss of the midfield right now, taken over from Gravenberch and Mac Allister as the best defensive and attacking midfielder.”
A second fan added: “Dominik Szoboszlai is the future captain of Liverpool. Tell him now,” while another wrote: “Szoboszlai is the SYSTEM. Simple as that.”
A fourth fan said: “Szoboszlai this season is a bit like Gravenberch last season, where I don’t really remember a match where he wasn’t man of the match for the vast majority of games.” Meanwhile, another declared: “Far from the first time this season, the best player on the pitch is Dominik Szoboszlai.”
Dominik Szoboszlai has been tipped to be Liverpool’s next captain after his latest stunning performance for the club. Szoboszlai shone in the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield with Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch getting the decisive goals against Unai Emery’s side.
That victory was enough to push the Reds up to third in the table following a run of six defeats in their last seven matches in all competitions.
Arne Slot needed all of his leaders to step up for this crucial contest, with the Hungarian skipper particularly impressing.
Against Villa, Szoboszlai played all 90 minutes of the contest, completing 54 of his 58 passes with a pass success rate of 93 percent.
He also made seven defensive contributions and seven passes into the final third, along with five recoveries in an all-round midfield display.
Dominik Szoboszlai A Future Liverpool Captain?
Szoboszlai joined Liverpool in the summer of 2023 after the club triggered his £60million release clause in his RB Leipzig contract. Since moving to Anfield, the 25-year-old has scored 17 goals and provided 18 assists in 108 appearances for the club.
He’s also scored 17 goals in 59 senior appearances for Hungary and is currently his country’s national team captain.
Liverpool’s return to winning ways came at the perfect time ahead of a huge run of fixtures for the club.
The Reds host Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night, before facing Manchester City on Sunday, November 9, in what will be a huge Premier League contest.
