"It's going to depend on his [Szoboszlai's] performances. He is one of the best players in the world right now. It's good for everyone and I hope we can do it again. I'm glad we managed to win the game today. It was very big for the confidence."
"Yes, but he is still young. He has a lot of attributes already, especially when it comes to leading by example. There is still a step to make in terms of leadership, a voice in the dressing room if I compare him to Virgil, which is completely normal."
"Virgil is 34 and has seen [James] Milner, [Jordan] Henderson and these players, so it's really good for Dominik that he sees Virgil and that would be the next step for him; to be as vocal and as loud as Virgil is but that comes with time. But for all the other things, he has a lot to become a very influential player for Liverpool and you could call that a leader."
Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool's second goal in a 3-0 victory over Brighton to send Liverpool into the fifth round of the FA Cup. The goal was his 10th of the season, putting him on course to surpass his previous single-season best of 12 goals for RB Leipzig in 2019-20. Mohamed Salah described Szoboszlai as one of the best players in the world and linked cup prospects to his performances. Head coach Arne Slot praised Szoboszlai's attributes and leading-by-example style while noting he must develop a louder, vocal presence to match Virgil van Dijk's leadership. Szoboszlai is in his third season at Anfield.
