Arne Slot praises 'unbelievable' Liverpool star: 'He is a bit underestimated' | OneFootball

The Reds boss has made sure to praise the midfielder for his efforts this season

Arne Slot has singled out Dominik Szoboszlai for praise following Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.

Speaking about Szoboszlai’s performance, in particular, Slot was asked in his post-match press conference if the midfielder had been encouraged to take more shots having registered four attempts at goal.

“I think that’s the development the team is in, because when we played Brentford we had 37 shots, a record in the Premier League for an away team,” the Dutchman said. “And then because he is involved in that team, he will probably take a few shots then as well.

Slot then praised Szoboszlai for his work off the ball, adding that he feels the Hungary international’s importance to the team often goes under the radar.

“Then if you zoom in on Dom, I think at the beginning of the season he would have played that ball to Mo, which most of the time was a very good choice because Mo can definitely score a goal as well,” Slot said. “And now he decided to go for the goal himself and scored the goal himself.

“Nice for him because, in my opinion, he is a bit underestimated. Not by me, but he doesn’t always get the credits for the fact he is very important for this team, because his work-rate is un-be-lievable.

“He just keeps on running with the highest intensity, and that is so important for a team that wants to compete for something.”
