Mohamed Salah Believes Dominik Szoboszlai Has One Attribute That Is ‘Unbelievable’
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has singled out teammate Dominik Szoboszlai for exceptional praise, highlighting one standout attribute as truly unbelievable. In a recent interview, the Egyptian forward lauded the Hungarian midfielder's relentless drive and physical prowess, which have made him Liverpool's most influential player this season.[3]
Szoboszlai's impact shines in advanced stats across competitions. In the Champions League, he boasts a 90.8% pass completion rate (363/400 successful passes), 17 key passes, and 80% accuracy on long passes over 20 yards. Across all matches, he has won possession 68 times in the middle third and 13 in the final third, while completing 1,491 possession passes, 498 into the final third at 88.1% accuracy.[3]
His progressive style is evident in 35 take-ons (23 in the opposition half) and 197 progressive ball carries out of 363 total, showcasing his front-foot mentality. Szoboszlai drives at defenses using his physical attributes, laying off to teammates 29 times successfully or shooting himself. Though crossing needs work (36/49 unsuccessful), he has created nine chances.[3]
This praise comes amid Liverpool's strong campaign under Arne Slot. Szoboszlai recently contributed to a 2-0 win over Brighton, helping the team climb to sixth in the Premier League. Salah, who broke Wayne Rooney's record with 277 goal contributions (goals and assists) for a top-flight club, assisted in that match after resolving tensions with Slot.[2]
The mutual admiration is clear: Szoboszlai has called Salah a “record-breaking machine” and the “driving force” behind Liverpool's season, noting how records follow him—33 goals and 23 assists in 50 games. Salah's endorsement underscores Szoboszlai's unbelievable energy and versatility as key to Liverpool's success despite injuries and form dips elsewhere.[1][4]
