“I think everybody should have in them that ‘if he’s gone I have to stay, if he’s gone I have to stay’,” he said. This is a learning process, but now we know.Szoboszlai also confirmed that he has been asked to play a slightly new role by Iraola, with Mac Allister’s position also adjusted a little bit so that both players are deeper on the pitch, closer to Liverpool’s defence.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah or Luis Suarez: Jamie Carragher picks who he’d add to Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool in their prime“I’m playing a little bit deeper than last season or the season before,” he said.

Now he’s more of a 6 I think. It’s made for me, because I like to fight against the ball, I love when we have the ball more than when they have the ball, but there’s going to be some times when they have the ball,” he said.“In the Premier League there are good teams, not only us, so they will have the ball and then you have to react.

The reaction all the time should be ‘I want the ball back’, and if you want the ball back you have to work for it.”As well as talking about Liverpool’s midfield as a whole, Szoboszlai also touched on his own personal situation, looking back at his decision to sign a new contract with the Reds over the summer.“I want to be here as long as I can and help the team win as much as possible,” he said. “I know we can do it, I really believe it and it’s time to show it because the words are sometimes big, now we have to act as well.“I know and I really believe that this club, this team, this manager can achieve so much and be able to compete at the highest level for a very long time and in every competition and I really believe it, and I wanted to stay and be here after the last season to know this was a failure, which we learn from it and now we have to show it will not happen like that [again].”Asked whether becoming Liverpool captain is one of his goals, Szoboszlai confirmed that he is hoping to take on the honour after Virgil van Dijk departs.“Of course, if they put you as Liverpool captain, there’s nothing bigger than that and I’m happy to take it,” he said.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
