Responding to a journalist’s question, the Hungarian noted he was delighted that Salah, who had been lured to Saudi Arabia, had finally stayed with the club, as he is a fantastic footballer.
Szoboszlai is the fourth Hungarian goalscorer in the Premier League after Zoltán Gera, Tamás Priskin, and Ákos Buzsáky. Prior to that, Gera, who was then playing for West Bromwich Albion, scored the last Hungarian goal in the English top flight on December 22, 2012 against Norwich.
After the match, Liverpool’s manager Jürgen Klopp gave his assessment to the club’s website. On the Hungarian player he said: “A machine, huh? That’s now all four games. Pretty impressive, absolutely impressive. Tactically smart, absolutely ready for the dirty part of the game – meaning hard work where it is not the fancy stuff where they are shooting, crossing, running forward, stuff like this. No, he is really closing down opponents(…)
And what a goal! I saw it directly from behind. That was the cleanest strike I saw for a long time. And that was his slightly lesser-good foot. That was, again, a top performance.”
This is not the first time Szoboszlai has been praised because of his impressive performance. His contribution to Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth, when he played against Milos Kerkez, another Hungarian in the Premier League, was unquestionable and his performance was amazing. As a result, he was voted player of the match.
