Szoboszlai warns Liverpool rivals: No one can stop us if old intensity returns

Liverpool claimed their first Premier League win of the season with a 2-0 victory away at Ipswich Town, but Dominik Szoboszlai made sure the biggest talking point came after the final whistle. Speaking to club legend Steven Gerrard on TNT Sports, the Hungary midfielder warned Liverpool’s rivals that the team will be unstoppable if they rediscover the intensity that was missing last season. Szoboszlai praised new head coach Andoni Iraola, describing his style as direct and intense, with exactly the kind of energy the midfielder loves. He admitted that Liverpool lacked intensity during their unsuccessful title defence under Arne Slot. He believes that if they can bring back that intensity and desire, their quality will be enough to overcome any opponent. The 25-year-old also spoke about his preferred role as a box-to-box number eight, arriving late in the penalty area and shooting from distance. He was often forced to play at right-back last season because of injuries to Jeremie Frimpong, but Iraola has made it clear that is not a long-term plan. Szoboszlai said that assurance means a lot to him, while insisting he will still be available if the team needs him. Alexander Isak scored twice early in the Ipswich game, giving Liverpool a smooth start under their new manager. The performance offered encouraging signs that Iraola’s pressing style is taking shape. Szoboszlai’s warning is simple: when Liverpool combine athletic energy with their existing quality, they expect no one in the Premier League to stand in their way.
