Szoboszlai, who likes Iraola's style: We shouldn't be afraid of any opponent.

In an interview, Hungarian star Szoboszlai said he really likes head coach Andoni Iraola's very direct tactical style and believes that the team should not be afraid of any opponent on the field, given their own strength.

In the earlier Premier League Round 3 match, Liverpool defeated Ipswich Town 2-0 thanks to two assists from Gakopo for Isak's goal, securing their first victory of the new season.

Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai said: "I feel ready to take on a leadership role. To be honest, this is the longest I've ever spent at the same club, because I've never stayed at the same club for so long before, and this is my fourth season."

“I try to do my best every day, whether it’s in a game or in training. Sometimes I might not talk much in the locker room because there are other types of players on the team, like Van Dijk, Gomez and Alisson, who are more experienced. I try to lead by example, and of course I can speak up, I think both are necessary. But I prefer to speak on the pitch and lead the team with my performance.”

Speaking of head coach Andoni Iraola, Szoboszlai said, "I really like him. I know he plays a very direct and intense style, which is exactly what I like."

"This is what we lacked last season. If we can rediscover this intensity and show everyone that we are more eager to win than our opponents, then we have enough strength in ourselves. When these things come together, no one can stop us."

In addition, Szoboszlai said, "I also spoke with Kelkes Milos, who played under Andoni Iraola when he was at Bournemouth, so I've been looking forward to it. He told me that we will keep running, give it our all, and go one-on-one when necessary. That's exactly the way I like it; I want to be fearless, and we shouldn't be afraid of any opponent."

"When playing for Liverpool, we should certainly pay attention to what other teams are doing, but they should pay more attention to what we are doing. So let's do our best and see how it goes."

On the other hand, the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League season will begin, and Liverpool will host Atletico Madrid at Anfield in the first round, officially kicking off their European journey.
