Dominik Szoboszlai has opened up about the intensity of Liverpool’s training sessions since joining the club this summer from RB Leipzig.
The 22-year-old completed his switch from the Bundesliga after the Reds triggered his £60 million release clause earlier this month before putting pen to paper on a five-year deal – becoming the club’s second signing after Alexis Mac Allister.
Szoboszlai has impressed Jurgen Klopp and the other coaching staff with his fitness levels, however, the Hungary skipper has admitted that he has not been put through his paces to this extent in his career so far.
“It was not easy! I came from a really good team in Leipzig and pre-season is hard everywhere but I never had three training sessions a day before in my life!” the midfielder told Daily Mail.
Szoboszlai made his debut for Liverpool in Wednesday night’s 4-2 victory over Karlsruher.
“I enjoyed it a lot,’ Sbozoszlai added. “I felt really good, in good condition with good players, in an unbelievable stadium. It was a good first one and I am ready to go now. They squad have been really welcoming, really nice.
“I feel as if I was here (a long time) already, even though I only knew Ibou (Konate, from their time together at Leipzig). Everybody has been really kind to me, nice and helped a lot when I had questions that needed answering.”
“To be honest, we can achieve everything that we want, if we do it in the right way. We have some goals for this year. We spoke (ourselves) in the team, the coach spoke to us and told us what he wants to see from us.
“I think we have the quality. We have the coach for it; we have the fans for it, we have everything we need. Now it depends on us. When I heard that Liverpool is interested in me, I didn’t need to think so much. It’s a fantastic club.
“I played against them at Anfield already (for Salzburg), and the fans were unbelievable. The coach is one of the best coaches in the world. The guys have a lot of quality, a lot of them have won everything you can win. I want to learn from them and achieve everything that is possible with them.
“Before I came here, I already put these players on the highest level, so I expected (to see quality) from them. I want to learn a lot from them, how to be a player at that level. I want to help. I want to work for the team, give the fans what they deserve.”
